Instant Mushroom Soup Monaka – September Onsen Box
The September Onsen Box features Fukane’s Mushroom Soup Monaka, a convenient and authentic Japanese soup that brings traditional flavors to your home.
What is Mushroom Soup Monaka?
Unlike miso soup, which is usually rich, cloudy, and made from fermented soybean paste, osuimono (clear soup) is light, delicate, and emphasizes subtle flavors of dashi (Japanese stock) and fresh ingredients. Fukane’s Monaka version comes in a crisp wafer shell containing all the ingredients and powdered dashi. Simply break the shell and pour hot water to enjoy.
Why Choose Monaka Soup?
- Quick and Easy: No extra seasoning or preparation required.
- Elegant Flavor: Shiitake and shimeji mushrooms with parsley create a refined, umami-rich soup.
- Perfect for Any Occasion: Serve as a light appetizer, a side dish for lunch or dinner, or a comforting snack.

How to Enjoy
1. Break the monaka shell into a bowl.
