A Taste of Home

Miso soup is one of Japan’s most familiar everyday foods.

Made from fermented soybean paste, it has been enjoyed for centuries and remains a staple of many Japanese meals today.

But there is no single miso soup.

White miso, red miso, and blended miso each create different flavors. Ingredients also change with the season, the region, and the family preparing it.

Today, miso is easy to find in stores across Japan.

But in the past, many families prepared their own miso at home. Making miso was part of everyday life, and people looked forward to the day it was finally ready to enjoy.

The slow process of fermentation taught patience and made each bowl feel even more special.

Some bowls are light and sweet. Others are rich and bold.

Many Japanese people grow up with a favorite kind of miso, making each bowl feel a little like home.

Every bowl is a little different.

To make this Miso Pork Noodle Soup, you'll need to cook tender pork belly slices, hearty noodles, fresh vegetables, and umami-rich miso broth. It's great for a cozy meal any day of the week.
