Japanese Miso Soup

Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup made from a stock called "dashi" and a fermented paste called "miso". It is a popular side dish in Japan and is served with every meal. The soup is believed to have originated from China and was brought to Japan during the Nara period (710–794). It is usually made with a stock made of either dried bonito flakes or seaweed and is flavored with miso paste, which is made from fermented soybeans. Common ingredients added to miso soup include tofu, wakame seaweed, and scallions.
