A rich, creamy, and spicy-savory soup based on homemade chili oil, specially selected domestic vegetables, and healthy soy milk. Furthermore, "Mycoprotein"—an innovative meat alternative derived from fermentation—brings out a perfect umami flavor.
This exceptional bowl was crafted with care to be entirely free of animal products and gluten. Even the flavorful soup base is "Gokun-free"*5 (Allium-free). It is a truly inclusive and satisfying dish that all guests can enjoy to their heart's content, regardless of dietary preferences or restrictions.*6
