I was watching TV when I came across a picture of miso soup in a mug. It brought back some memories.
This is because when I ate lunch at work, we never had a soup bowl, so I made instant miso soup in my own mug and drank it.
Green tea is fine, but miso soup goes really well with white rice. Maybe it's because I'm Japanese?
I tried to reduce the salt content by leaving a little bit of miso in and making it a little thinner. (Even if you add hot water to dilute it, it's the same if you drink it all.)
Miso soup is miso soup
Just because I'm Japanese doesn't mean I always eat Japanese food. Japanese food is one of the menus, and sometimes I eat pasta or Chinese food. It makes me think again how amazing Japanese food culture is.
If you think about it like that, soups change according to the main ingredient.
Miso soup is also a type of soup.
So, does that mean it's totally fine to have soup in a mug?
Of course, I would like set meal restaurants, Sukiya, and Sushiro to serve it in a soup bowl!
Of course, this also applies to traditional Japanese restaurants and hot spring inns. After all, the balance with other tableware and the atmosphere are important.
However, with the increasingly diverse dining tables in homes, there are fewer purely Japanese-style dishes, and it may not be necessary to use soup bowls every time.
I'm sorry to say this, but (laughs) At our dinner table, we always use that multi-bowl , that oval plate , and STIIK . However, we use an existing soup bowl for miso soup, so it feels like that's the only thing that's purely Japanese and stands out a bit.
Goblets with a high base are also suitable for Japanese style
To be honest, I thought soup bowls were a little difficult to hold. I often felt like my hands were hot. If adults think that, it must be even more difficult for children to drink from them.
So it occurred to me that a mug with a handle might be better for miso soup.
However, I feel that character mugs, brightly colored mugs, and mugs shaped like tea caddies are not the same. They seem makeshift. That's the kind of scene you often see during lunch breaks at work.
So I decided to use a goblet with a base. I apologize for being too self-promoting.
It's a mug made for coffee, and it looks pretty good.
Perhaps the fact that it is on high ground is what helps maintain a Japanese atmosphere.
After meals, you can just rinse it and use it for coffee time.
= Less dishes to wash. Plus, goblets can be washed in the dishwasher.
Although being able to use it for everything and reducing the amount of dishes to wash is not a top priority, I thought that the matte finish of the oh goblet would be great for miso soup, or even miso soup.
By the way, it is easier to drink from a goblet cup with a wide mouth than from a goblet mug with a narrow mouth.
Why not give it a try?
