🌿 A Gentle Bowl of Matcha Soymilk Soup
— A comforting taste of early summer. —
Hello everyone 😊 This is Keko from the online team.
Today, I’m excited to share a warm and nourishing soup featuring our Matcha Starter and unsweetened soymilk. With a gentle blend of white miso and dashi broth, this Japanese-inspired soup embraces the delicate aroma of matcha in a way that’s subtle and serene.
Perfect for early summer mornings or light meals, this bowl is a reminder that not all matcha needs to be served cold—even as the weather warms, warmth can offer quiet comfort.

Ingredients (Serves 2) |
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Matcha
Sift the matcha and mix it with a small amount of soymilk to create a smooth paste. This prevents clumping later.
2️⃣ Heat the Broth
In a small pot, bring the dashi to medium heat. Add white miso and dissolve thoroughly.
3️⃣ Add the Soymilk
Lower the heat and pour in the soymilk. Heat gently without boiling to keep the texture smooth.
4️⃣ Incorporate the Matcha
Add the prepared matcha paste and stir well. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
5️⃣ Finishing Touches
Pour into bowls. Garnish with ground sesame, green onions, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
✅ Tips for Best Flavor
Avoid boiling the soymilk to maintain a silky consistency.
Pre-mixing the matcha keeps the soup visually appealing and aromatic.
Adjust the seasoning based on the saltiness of your miso.
Garnishes like sesame and scallions add fragrance and depth.
🍙 A Perfect Pairing with Japanese Rice Balls
For a well-rounded plate, serve with rice balls made with fresh tea leaves (chagara) and shibazuke pickles.
Together, they create a seasonal, plant-based meal that’s full of umami, freshness, and harmony.
Enjoy your morning, lunch, or tea time with a warm bowl of matcha goodness 🌱
