Miso Soup for Front-line Workers in Healthcare

Four weeks ago, my sister asked me about sending our Instant Miso Soup to four of her friends in New York City. Since my sister previously worked as a Researcher at Columbia University Medical Center (UCMC), she knew firsthand that the hospital staff were having a difficult time. Front line workers have been working long hours in challenging conditions since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, so she decided to send something nutritious that is also easy to prepare.

I was happy to know that our miso soup could help those on the front lines. My sister’s actions inspired me; I believe that if our miso soup can help doctors in NYC, it can help front-line healthcare workers in Canada too. So we have decided to donate Instant Miso Soup Sets to front-line workers in healthcare. We will ship it directly to the hospitals to make things as easy as possible.

As a small food producer, we want to help in the only tangible way that we know how - by nourishing the front-line workers who are working tirelessly to keep us all safe.

We want to help with saving time in getting nutrition and keeping their energy levels up. Our instant miso soup only requires the mixing of hot water (it's easy to shake up in a thermos) and contains probiotics, which makes it a really quick and nutritious meal or snack.

Deliciousness in every spoonful

Enjoying every mouthful of the Ginger Akuza, thank goodness I bought 2 jars. Looking forward to trying the rest of the flavours. Definitely a 👍👍🫶🏼🌟🌟

Thanks, Diane! Can’t wait for you to try them all! 🔥

Very good

Hi Revekka, Thank you so much! We’re glad you’re enjoying it.

Je ne peux plus m’en passer!

Tellement goûteux et très polyvalent, j’en mets « presque » sur tout 🙂.
Merci!!

Ça nous fait tellement plaisir — merci! Nous avons conçu OKAZU pour être le genre de condiment que l’on peut mettre sur presque tout, alors nous sommes ravis qu’il soit devenu un incontournable pour vous. Merci de partager l’amour! ️

Wonderful Product

My family and I just love Okazu! We can’t get enough of it, hence me buying a case of it! We’ve tried all the flavours, but the Sansho Pepper is a firm favourite. Can’t guarantee the case will last long though. I find the price point abit high though.

Hi Charmaine, so thrilled to hear you and your family are loving OKAZU! Sansho Pepper really does have that irresistible kick ️—we totally get why it’s your fave. Thanks for stocking up with a whole case! Your feedback means a lot, and we’re always working to keep quality high and value strong. ✨😊

My favourite miso soup

Absolutely delish!

I haven't tried everything yet but so far I am quite satisfied! Worth every penny!

Hi Guylaine,

Thanks a bunch for the awesome feedback! Can’t wait for you to try the rest — it’s all worth it! Keep enjoying! ✨

Amazing quality

Tasty and hearty! Outstanding quality!

Hi Guylaine,

Thanks so much! 😊 We’re glad you enjoyed the Sanshō Pepper Miso Chili Crisp! ️ It’s packed with great flavors and healthy ingredients. Stay spicy and healthy! 💪

Love it!

This miso sauce is so delish on anything! I thought a case would be too many but am already on my second jar so glad I have a lot stocked up.

Hi Kelly,

Yesss! 🙌 So glad you’re loving it! It really does go with everything, right?! Thanks for stocking up and spreading the miso love. #TeamOKAZU

I love this sauce so much! Small complaint with the order - one of the jars arrived unsealed/spilled. Otherwise would be 5/5, so tasty!

Hi Emily,

So glad you like the sauce! We're really sorry one jar spilled. Please send us a message so we can fix it for you! Thanks again for your support! 😊

Always good.

All the products are good. Like the Curry the best. Have yet to try the ginger.

Thanks so much for the love! ❤️ So glad you’re enjoying the Curry — can’t wait for you to try the Ginger next! Let us know what you think!

So tasty

This miso chili oil is packed with flavour, and not too spicy. I love it on top of eggs in the morning or a spoonful on top of homemade ramen. Highly recommend!

Hi Julie,

Totally hooked. Eggs, noodles, toast... it really works on everything! I Appreciate you sharing this!

Yummy!

I've used your Okazu Chili Miso for several years and love it, finally decided to try other flavours as well. Not being able to get other flavours in local grocery stores I went ahead and ordered the set. Omg, no regrets! So far the Ginger Miso is my favourite, soooo good with a nice ginger kick. Am looking forward to trying the others that I'm not familiar with as well.

Hi Fiona,
We’re so happy you’ve been enjoying Okazu for years and decided to try more flavours! ❤️ Thrilled to hear Ginger Miso is a hit — can’t wait for you to try the rest. Thanks for being such a loyal fan!

Put this in Costco bundle

I adore your miso chili so much that I bought the 4 jar variety pack at Costco but was disappointed that this was not included. Perhaps you could consider removing the hot chili mis or one of the regular miso chili jars and include this.

It’s me.

Somehow, my account got switched to a different one when I placed this order, but I’ve been ordering this from you guys since the beginning. I’m never without your stuff.❤️

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for being such a loyal customer from the very beginning — we love hearing that you’re never without our products ❤️

Spicy Set

Incroyable

Ce qui manquait à ma vie

Original Instant ABO Miso Soup

Delicious!

Love it on grilling fish, chicken, chops or adding to veggies, soups and sauces.

That’s great to hear! We’re so glad you’re enjoying it—it really does go well with just about everything, doesn’t it? 😊

Spicy Miso Chili Crisp

It’s not too spicy and they, should put less sesame oil in.

A great selection!

This is a great way to try the Abokichi range of delicious products.

Thanks a bunch for giving Abokichi a try! 😄 We appreciate your support.

Spicy goodness

We literally put OKAZU Spicy Chili Miso on everything: dumplings, ramen, fried eggs, pierogies, spaghetti, salads, baked potatoes, sausages, etc.

Proud to buy from a Canadian company. 🇨🇦 Thank you!

Love it! OKAZU really goes with everything 🔥
