Today’s miso soup uses Satsumaimo Japanese sweet potato.(さつまいも) Satsumaimo is a great vegetable for sweet dishes and desserts, and it works in miso soup very well too. You can add meat and other vegetables to this, but we wanted it to be simple here so that the taste of sweet potato is accentuated in the dish. Enjoy the flavor combination of Satsumaimo’s mild sweetness and savory miso. Hope you like it!
