Mastuai Foods has created this instant miso soup using unique freeze-drying technology. The base is an aromatic, umami-rich mix of additive-free miso made from Aso soybeans, Kyushu rice, and Kyushu barley. Brimming with vegetables like spinach, cabbage, and carrots, this soup has a slight sweetness and mildly earthy flavor that is complemented by the natural saltiness of the bonito stock and konbu (kelp) extract. In addition to adding a pop of color, the pieces of vegetables add textural intrigue to this simple and savory soup.

For more than 190 years Matsuai Foods has been carefully selecting high-quality ingredients to make their miso, soy sauce, and vinegar-based products. Working with local farms, they source whole soybeans from Hano Village in Aso City and organic, pesticide-free wheat and barley from Kikuchi City. The company also grows its own rice in Kumamoto and gives back to the community by offering opportunities for local families to participate in planting and harvesting workshops. They also repurpose the byproducts of production as fertilizer and feed. 

Suggested uses: This freeze-dried instant miso soup can be made by simply mixing the contents of the package with 160ml (~2/3 of a cup) of hot water. Let the ingredients fully rehydrate and enjoy!
