Cooking tips

  • Soaking burdock root in vinegar water is an essential step in preparing Donjiro to remove its unique pungent and astringent flavor.
  • Konjac can have a natural alkaline smell, so it must be blanched in boiling water before cooking to avoid affecting the soup's flavor.
  • During the process of dissolving miso paste and simmering, regularly skim off any floating particles and foam to achieve a smooth and clear broth.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a unique miso soup with a delicate yet deep savory flavor, not too strong.
  • Those who want to cook a Japanese home-style meal filled with various vegetables and meat to warm themselves up on a cold day.
