5.0 out of 5 stars Very good instant Tofu Miso Soup... August 1, 2005

By Raven

Very good, I just tried it tonight...you have to mix it well...but it is very good, it tastes like the miso soup that I had in a Sushi Restaurant a few days ago... Though the tofu pieces are small, the rich taste makes up for it...and if you want more tofu...I suggest buying firm tofu separately, then adding it when you make the soup...that's what I'm going to do... I hope this helped you... :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Once acquired...This (satisfying!) miso soup might be your new addiction. December 14, 2005

I first picked this off the shelf at a military commissary in Kansas one summer... and I never stopped. The first time you try this stuff, it's like wine or avocados; it's a taste that is certainly acquired, and like nothing else. I have fed it to a friend and to my significant other; few like it the first time, but you find yourself strangely coming back for more until it's a staple in your house, like it is in mine. Kind of reminds me of sushi; first time I tried it, I was like, "this is odd, why do people eat this?", then, I found myself craving it a week later. Haha. Now I love sushi and miso! (By the way, it comes in an envelope with 3 individual packets). Mix it in hot water, to taste. You might like it with more or less water, depending on how salty you like your food. -Experiment with it to your satisfaction, and I guarantee, there is much of that to be had.

I usually add all 3 little individual packets (it's low-fat) to a decent-sized cup of hot water, add my favorite vinegar, and let it sit and "cure" for a minute or so, since the little green sea-vegetable flakes (and green onions + tofu squares) need time to rehydrate and turn a little chewy and palatable. I then sip it and fish the sea vegetables out to my heart's content.

(I also hear that miso can be generally healthy for you!)

If you let it sit, the miso will start to separate from the rest of the soup and you have delightful little clouds of miso particles floating in your bowl, which is sort of entertaining and visually delightful, too. I think of it as cheap, delicious entertainment. But then again, I am easily amused. ;)

3.0 out of 5 stars Almost Like the Real Thing June 3, 2007

By S. Philip

Size Name:9 packets in 3 packs

My love affair with miso, the flavorful paste made from fermented soybeans, started when I lived in Tokyo several years ago. So, since then, being the miso snob that I am, it has been unimaginable to me to try any instant variety. But I have to say that when I finally did break down and try Kikkoman Instant Tofu Miso Soup, I was amazed to find that it was practically indistinguishable in flavor and consistency from miso soup made from the actual paste. While I would still choose the actual product whenever time permits, I would now not hesitate to substitute this great product when I am on the run.
