Dashi stock 800 cc
Miso 3-1/2 tablespoons

Type of Miso

Kome (Rice) miso

Directions

  1. Peel the yatsugashira yam, cut into proper sizes and boil in salt water to remove slime. Remove the base off the maitake mushrooms and separate into small bunches. Shred the yuzu peel.

  3. Lower the heat and dissolve the miso. Serve the miso soup in bowls with the yuzu peel on top.

★ A Note

Yatsugashira is a kind of yam, and its mother tuber and daughter tubers are formed in a mass without separation. Since “Yatsu” in Chinese character indicates good luck, yatsugashira yams are often used in New Year’s dishes.
