They're both made of fermented soybeans but while natto is considered by most Westerners and quite a few Japanese to be marginally inedible, miso and especially its soup variation has been internationally accepted as the perfect accompaniment to most Japanese dishes, even some that the Japanese themselves hadn't thought of! Miso soup bars can now be found all over Tokyo and different flavors of miso soup in all supermarkets. And in assortments like the Japan Miso Tour Set, but few offer this much variety!
The Japan Miso Tour Set contains two boxes, each containing seven packs of two servings of different miso soups from all over Japan. This is indeed a virtual tour of some of Japan's soy and miso makers, featuring miso from Miyagi, Tokyo, Nagano, Aichi, Hiroshima, Oita, and Kumamoto prefectures. Different flavors and aromas from craftspeople who have been making miso for decades and sometimes centuries brought to you in one package of easy-to-make, delicious soups.
