A Brief History of Miso-Dama (MISOMARU)
Miso-Dama dates back to Japan’s Sengoku period, Warring States period (15th-16th century), where it was used as a portable, nutritious food for soldiers on the battlefield. These dried miso balls were packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and could be eaten without cooking—simply eaten raw for energy, or dissolved in water to create a warm, nourishing miso soup.
MISOMARU honors this centuries-old tradition, hand-rolling each misodama with high-quality, sustainable ingredients like rice koji miso, kombu, katsuobushi (bonito flakes), and shiitake mushroom powder. Today, MISOMARU’s misodama offer a convenient, healthy alternative to instant soup mixes—perfect for busy days, picnics, or as a quick meal at home.
