Where it comes from

Miso soup, a staple in Japanese cuisine, has its roots in the Buddhist dietary practices of the 7th century. Traditionally served as a comforting start to meals, this soup exemplifies the Japanese art of umami, balancing flavors with simple yet profound ingredients. A surprising detail is the use of daikon radish, which adds a refreshing crunch and enhances the soup's overall texture.
