Soup Side-dish

This is the third installment of our miso soup recipe series.

While white miso and red miso are well-known, mixed miso, or awase miso (合わせ味噌), may not be as familiar to those outside of Japan. Mixed miso is made by mixing different grains such as soybeans and barley. These grains undergo the miso fermentation process and are then turned into a paste.

Mixed miso is already very balanced on its own. It is not too salty and contains plenty of umami flavor from the combination of different miso used.

Ingredients such as tofu, wakame seaweed, and daikon radish, while mild in flavor on their own, absorb the flavors of the dish they are added to. They are classic ingredients used in miso soup and pair perfectly with mixed miso.

Though the ingredients we used are simple, they make this miso soup a perfect choice for any time of the day. It pairs well with your favorite dishes or can be enjoyed simply with rice.

We hope that you will enjoy our mixed miso soup recipe.
