Buddhist monks brought this versatile soyfood to Japan, where it evolved into the delicious miso soup we enjoy today. Originally reserved exclusively for nobility, miso is now a treasured staple in homes and kitchens throughout Asia. Thanks to its wonderful flavor and unique nutritional profile, miso soup has become a featured menu item in sushi bars and Japanese restaurants around the world. To create Japanese Restaurant Style Miso-Cup, our food artisans age organic soybeans and organic rice with a traditional starter culture called "koji". Salt, time and pressure regulate this aging process and yield the culinary treasure known as miso. Select onion, yeast, mushroom and seaweed extracts tastefully enhance complex miso flavors. The addition of our classic miso "soup nits" make this delicious Miso-Cup complete. Japanese Restaurant Style Miso-Cup boasts full bodied, satisfying flavor reminiscent of dining in fine Japanese restaurants.
