This quintessential Japanese soup is great for hangovers, but seriously embodies the essence of Japanese cuisine in its simplicity and detail. You'll find it both in sushi bars and at home, and it is not only very tasty but its healthy and super fast to execute. There is no rule to the type of miso you should use, if you like red or hatcho miso the taste will be more focused on that and less on the clams but it is better to enjoy it with light, rice miso . A touch of togarashi or white pepper will surely do no harm either...
Go get it!
