Description
The Japanese approach to miso soup is fundamentally seasonal — the miso type, the garnishes, and the dashi base shift with the season. Spring: white miso, clams, young tofu, trefoil. Summer: light awase miso, cold-served, cucumber, myoga ginger. Autumn: red miso, mushrooms, root vegetables, mountain herbs. Winter: dark miso, hearty root vegetables, daikon, negi (Japanese leek). This seasonal rotation is not decorative — each season's ingredients have flavour compounds that align chemically with the miso type that matches them.
