Japanese Soups, Stocks & Broths

Whether you are looking to create a healthy bowl of miso soup or a warm winter hotpot, stock up on all the essentials you need with our range of Japanese soups, stocks, and broths. Miso soup is one of the most important staple dishes within Japanese cuisine, with many people consuming miso soup at least once a day. It can be served as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and is quite versatile as you can add different kinds of vegetables and miso paste to it to adjust the recipe according to your preferences. A classic miso soup recipe includes miso, dashi stock, wakamame seaweed, tofu, and green onion.

Nabe is a Japanese hotpot dish consisting of a soup, often served with a variety of ingredients, such as noodles, vegetables, and meat. This dish is typically eaten during the winter and is cooked at the table in an earthenware pot over an open flame. It can be made with any combination of meats and vegetables, but a good soup base is important to making this dish authentic. You can buy a ready-made soup base that you can just add straight to the dish from our range of nabe soups in flavors such as chicken, hot curry, and vegetables.

Not less important is Dashi, a fundamental Japanese soup stock and a must-have item if you are becoming fond of Japanese cuisine at home. Dashi forms the base for miso soup, clear broth soup, noodle broth soup, and many simmering dishes and even sauces to accentuate the savory flavor known as umami.

Other popular Japanese soups available at Japanese Taste are Japanese mushroom soup, onion soup, kabocha squash soup, corn potage, cream stews, and more.
