Hi! This might be random to bring up but Miso soup is a bean paste, its very common here in Japan, but mainly as an acompaniment to something more substantial like oudon or nabe or something. It isn't really an acquired taste, it's nice the first time you make it, obviously that hippy dude wasn't showing her how to make it right.
seriously. Fucking hippies seem to have a thing for trying to streamline Asian cuisine and screwing it up royally. They've done it to rice, tofu, sushi, and now miso apparently. It's all good food, really, and it sickens me when I see their images tarnished in the west because they're commonly associated with toked-up, unemployed lazyasses, as well beatniks who think they're acting so "sophisticated" and "nonconformist".
