Nagatanien Instant Miso Soup — 4 Fillings, 24 Servings
Overview
Twenty-four single servings of instant miso soup from Nagatanien, in four fillings: aburaage (fried tofu), wakame, komachi-fu (wheat gluten) and tofu. Each serving is two sachets, one of live-format miso paste and one of dry filling. Net 285.6 g.
Two things on this page matter more than the flavour notes. This soup is built on a fish stock — bonito, dried tuna and dried fish powder are all in the paste, so it is not vegetarian. And the paste contains alcohol as a preservative. Both are stated openly below rather than left inside an ingredient list.

Full Ingredients
Miso paste sachet: rice miso (made in Japan), salt, sugar, tuna powder, fermented soy seasoning, kombu extract, bonito powder, dried fish powder, yeast extract, lactic acid bacteria powder (heat-treated) / amino-acid seasonings, alcohol (as a preservative).
Fillings: aburaage — wakame, fried tofu, spring onion / antioxidant (vitamin E); wakame — wakame, spring onion; komachi-fu — wheat gluten, wakame, spring onion / antioxidant (vitamin E); tofu — wakame, tofu, spring onion / antioxidant (vitamin E).
Allergens declared: wheat, soy and fish. Wheat and soy are named on the Japanese label; the fish comes from the bonito, tuna and dried fish powder in the stock.
Alcohol. Ethanol is used in Japanese seasoning pastes as a preservative and to protect aroma, not as a beverage ingredient. It is in the miso paste of this set. Whether that is acceptable to you is your decision, and we would rather you make it here than at the kitchen counter.
Salt. Instant miso soup is a salty food; a serving of this category typically sits around 1.2–1.5 g of salt equivalent. Nagatanien does not publish a per-serving figure for this assortment, so read the nutrition panel on the box rather than taking a number from us.

FAQ
Is it vegetarian?
No. The miso paste is built on a fish stock: bonito, dried tuna and dried fish powder are all declared. The tofu and wakame fillings are plant-based, but the broth they sit in is not.
Are the lactic acid bacteria live?
No, and this is worth being precise about. The label declares heat-treated lactic acid bacteria powder, at roughly one billion per serving. Heat-treated bacteria are not live cultures; they are the bacterial cells themselves, killed. If you specifically want live cultures, this is not that product.
Does it contain alcohol?
Yes. Alcohol is declared in the miso paste as a preservative. This is standard for Japanese seasoning pastes and is there to keep the paste stable and hold its aroma, not to flavour it as a drink. If you avoid alcohol in food, this is the line to read.
What allergens should I know about?
Wheat, soy and fish. Wheat and soy are named on the Japanese label; komachi-fu is wheat gluten. Fish comes from the bonito, tuna and dried fish powder in the paste.
How do I make it?
Empty one paste sachet and one filling sachet into a cup or bowl, add 160–180 mL of hot water and stir until the paste is fully dissolved. It takes under a minute and does not need boiling on a hob.
