Hikari Miso today announced the October 26 launch of powdered instant miso soups called “Satto Miso Shiru” and “Satto Tonjiru,” as well as the November 2 launch of 10-serving “Eraberu Soup Harusame."

Store shelves are lined with a wide array of different types of instant miso soups. Different people have different criteria for choosing which product to buy. For many people “ease of preparation,” the biggest appeal of instant miso soup, also serves as a selection criteria. The new “Satto Miso Shiru” and “Satto Tonjiru” are powdered products, which are the easiest to prepare of all instant miso soups. Hikari’s miso know-how also guarantees that these soups will satisfy should taste be the benchmark.
The aroma and flavor of powdered instant miso soups have tended to be compared unfavorably with those of the paste varieties. With these new products, however, Hikari Miso has created flavors on a par with homemade miso soup by painstakingly selecting and blending the umami flavors of their misos, dashi, and other ingredients. But it is not just our meticulous approach to flavor: our attention to cost also means that the unit cost of the new soups is more attractive than ever. Moreover, the miso and the ingredients of the new soups are conveniently included together in a single packet, which makes them ideal for packing with lunches or enjoying as a snack on-the-go.

Low in calories yet filling, harusame (bean thread) soups have become very popular. In addition to the single meal cup-style products, harusame soup multi-packs are also gaining in popularity, with many people stocking up on them at home. Hikari Miso’s convenient new “Eraberu Soup Harusame" multi-packs offer an assortment of five flavors in a single package, for the bulk-buyer who values choice.
Each “Eraberu Soup Harusame" multi-pack contains two servings each of five delicious flavors: “Toromi Chuka,” “Tantan Fu,” “Seafood,” “Kakitama,” and “Umashio Wakame.” A single multi-pack gives you the freedom to choose the flavor that complements the day’s mood or meal. Also great as a late-night snack or treat for the kids, Hikari Miso’s new “Eraberu Soup Harusame" range combines refined soup flavors enriched with perfectly matched ingredients.
