The ingredient list consists only of traditional, minimally processed foods (miso from whole soybeans and rice, mirin, sea salt, onion purée, seaweeds, kombu extract).

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
