Gozen – Freeze-Dried Aosa Seaweed with Yuzu Zest Miso Soup (4 Serves per Pack) - GF, Vegetarian

Bright. Coastal. Refreshing — clean umami with a citrus lift.

This is miso soup with a lighter, fresher personality. Featuring aosa seaweed and fragrant yuzu zest, it delivers a clean, ocean-style umami base with a gentle citrus aroma that lifts the whole bowl.

It’s soothing, balanced, and ready in seconds — simply add boiling water.

Why it earns a spot in my pantry

This is my go-to when I want something light and restorative, but still full of flavour. The yuzu adds brightness, the seaweed brings that coastal depth, and it’s the perfect quick side to a Japanese-style meal — especially when you don’t want to cook.

Chef Ian’s best ways to use it

• Quick lunch add-on: miso soup + rice + pickles = simple and satisfying
• Starter before dinner: light, appetising, and fast
• Afternoon pick-me-up: warming without feeling heavy
• Side for katsu/tempura/karaage: balances richer, crispy dishes
• Instant comfort: keep a pack in the pantry for busy weeks

Chef Ian’s tip (simple upgrade)

Add sliced spring onion, a few cubes of tofu, or a small handful of leftover noodles to make it more substantial.
