TeN Inc. (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Yoshinori Hirose), which operates the online food shop "Imikoto Marche," has released a new product, "misot Protein Miso Soup," on March 30th, "Miso Day." This new high-protein miso soup allows for easy supplementation of 11.3g of protein per serving (without ingredients).
"misot Protein Miso Soup" was developed in response to voices such as "high-protein foods have a noticeable taste" and "I dislike protein and can't stick with it." It is a new instant miso soup that prioritizes the deliciousness of miso soup itself. It is finished with a rich and savory flavor from well-established dashi (Japanese soup stock) that makes you want to drink it every day.
Furthermore, it contains 8,000mg of collagen, which is beneficial for women. It can be used not only as a miso soup but also as a "all-in-one seasoning that determines the flavor" for stir-fries, side dishes, and marinades for meat and fish. Recipe development was commissioned to Kanako Gomi, a chef and miso sommelier who knows miso inside and out, and many delicious, time-saving recipes have been prepared.

■Development Background
Protein is important for both health and beauty, but it's surprisingly difficult to consume properly every day.
Protein is an essential nutrient for building muscles, skin, hair, nails, organs, enzymes, hormones, and more. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025 Edition)" mentions that a slightly higher intake than recommended may be desirable not only for maintaining health but also for growth and disease prevention in children and the elderly.
Protein Deficiency in Busy Modern People Becoming Evident
On the other hand, according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's "National Health and Nutrition Survey," the average protein intake of Japanese people has been on a long-term downward trend, reaching pre-war levels in recent years.
Furthermore, the "Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese" recommends about 65g per day for adult men and about 50g for women, but it is pointed out that there are groups who do not consume enough due to changes in dietary habits.
In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare identifies nutritional issues among young people and the working generation (underweight and nutritional disparities) as significant health challenges, likely due to lifestyles where nutritional balance tends to be disrupted.
The main factor cited for this deficiency is "busyness."
Reasons such as "too busy to cook or pay attention to nutrition" and "no time, so breakfast is simplified" lead to meals centered around staple foods, resulting in a tendency towards protein deficiency.
Therefore, Imikoto Marche focused on:
"Easy to continue every day"
"Delicious to consume"
"Incorporate into the familiar Japanese habit of miso soup"
and planned "misot Protein Miso Soup."
