Miso Bomb - Traditional (Sesame & Wakame)
Miso Soup - A Traditional Japanese Soup
Miso soup has been consumed by the Japanese for centuries, it is made with a seafood based stock called "dashi" into which a miso paste is mixed. Originally, miso was spread directly on food or eaten straight rather than as a seasoning as what we usually do nowadays. Later on, in 12th - 16th century, soup made from mashed miso soybeans (but we don't use soybeans in making miso) became a staple diet among samurai and gradually, miso soup immersed into the diets of the commoner as farmers started to make their own miso soup.
