Japanese Black Pork and Vegetables Miso Soup

Pork and Vegetables Miso Soup, also known as butajiru or tonjiru, is a classic Japanese soup made with root vegetables, pork and Japanese soup stock. The soup base is full of umami and contains bite-size meat and vegetables as accompaniments. This kind of miso soup is filling and goes very well with rice, so it is frequently found in washoku set meal restaurants as well as in-home cooking. OMUSUBI has created a special Kurobuta Pork and Vegetables Miso Soup for Hong Kong customers, using Japanese Kurobuta pork belly with a moderate fat content that releases aroma to make the soup base more flavorful. With each mouthful, you can enjoy the diverse textures from seven nutritious ingredients. The rice koji shiro miso used in the soup base is supplied by Kubota Miso Shoyu from Chiba Prefecture, a manufacturer that has close to a century’s experience of making miso. Their blend adds sweetness to the saltiness for a delicate and elegant flavor. Finally, the soup is garnished with shichimi togarashi (seven spice mixture) from Yawataya Isogoro, one of the three oldest shichimi stores in Japan. This adds a hint of spiciness and makes the soup even more appetizing.
