Both products are made without added flavor enhancers such as monosodium glutamate (MSG), allowing consumers to enjoy the natural taste and aroma of miso.

■ RENEWAL HIGHLIGHTS

・MISO

The miso has been changed from smooth-textured miso to a classic type of miso with small grains. In addition, the amount of bonito and kombu dashi has been increased, creating a richer dashi character that complements and enhances the natural sweetness of koji. The result is a flavorful bowl of miso soup with a pronounced aroma of dashi and a well-balanced combination of miso umami and sweetness.

・THREE INGREDIENTS

The soups are available with three ingredients: popular wakame seaweed, komatsuna greens known for their pleasant texture, and newly added fried eggplant. The amount of ingredients per serving has been increased compared with the previous product, delivering greater satisfaction in every bowl.

・PACKAGING AND SPECIFICATIONS

To better suit everyday consumption, the number of servings has been changed from ten to six, making the products more affordable and easier to purchase. The outer packaging is made from environmentally conscious paper materials.
