Ichiju Issai is a traditional Japanese meal format, translating to "one soup, one side." This simple yet balanced meal typically includes a bowl of miso soup (the "one soup") and a side dish, often accompanied by rice. The philosophy behind Ichiju Issai is rooted in the principles of minimalism and nutritional balance, emphasizing the harmony of flavors and the use of seasonal, local ingredients. It was very common style of the SAMOURAI of the Kamakura era (1185–1333) in Japan.
This approach to dining not only nourishes the body but also connects one to the rhythm of nature and the cultural heritage of Japanese cuisine.
