Japanese Recipes
Miso soup is called “misoshiru” in Japanese. It is a traditional Japanese soup in which we use dashi for the base, then mix with miso paste. There are many kinds of miso soup: tofu, daikon, potato, shell, club, pork, etc.... Each Japanese family has is its own brand of miso soup, which we refer to as "Mother's Taste".

I'd like to know what type of miso you use to make miso soup. Shiro miso? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI typically use awase miso. Kyoto people sometimes use shiro miso as well, but mostly for New Year's celebrations.
