Healthy and Mouth-Watering Japanese Asari Miso Soup Recipe

Had a crazy weekend? Our asari miso soup is the absolute perfect cure for hangovers.  

Miso is high in sodium content, which will help your body retain water lost from the day before. Minerals and vitamins lost the night prior through dehydration can be replenished through a serving of miso soup which is packed with these nutrients.

Like all clams, asari clams contain an amino acid, ornithine, which enhance liver function and detoxify harmful substances.

• 1/3 pack of soft tofu
• 200g asari clams
