Marukome Chef Morimoto Miso Soup with Tofu and Seaweed, 1.25 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Known to millions as the star of Iron Chef and Iron Chef America, Chef Masaharu Morimoto has garnered critical and popular acclaim for his seamless integration of Western and Japanese ingredients. Since 1998, Morimoto has competed on the Japanese television show, Iron Chef, and also appeared on the Food Network's Iron Chef America. In 2001, Chef Morimoto opened his first restaurant in Philadelphia, which was later followed by restaurants in New York, Napa, Honolulu, Boca Raton, Mumbai, Mexico City, Tokyo, and Maui. Morimoto Asia Orlando at Disney Springs opened in 2015, followed by Momosan Ramen and Sake NYC and Morimoto Las Vegas at MGM Grand in 2016. Morimoto Asia Waikiki, Momosan Waikiki, and Morimoto Doha opened in 2018, and Momosan Seattle opened in 2019. Chef Morimoto currently has 15 restaurants around the world.

Morimoto's first cookbook, Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking (2007), won two IACP awards (in the "Chef's and Restaurants" category and the "First Book: The Julia Child Award") and was nominated for a James Beard Foundation Award. His second cookbook, Mastering The Art of Japanese Cooking (2017), introduces readers to the healthy, flavorful, and surprisingly simple dishes favored by Japanese home cooks.

In collaboration with Marukome, Chef Morimoto has created a premium miso soup that boasts a rich, satisfying texture and taste. Miso, a thick paste-like substance made from fermented soybeans, rice, and koji, is known for its pleasantly salty, tangy, and savory flavor, as well as its Umami profile. Surprisingly, miso has a low salt content, yet it is packed with vitamins, magnesium, protein, sodium, carbohydrates, iron, and minerals, making it one of the most nutritious foods in the world.

While the most common use of miso is in Japanese-style miso soup, this premium collaboration between Marukome and Chef Morimoto is great for vegetarians and very easy to prepare. With its high-quality ingredients and Iron Chef's touch, this miso soup offers a rich and satisfying experience, perfect for those seeking a simple yet delicious Japanese-inspired meal.
