What is the nickname for miso soup?

Hey everyone, just had a fun chat about miso soup and this question popped up: does it have a nickname? You know, like how some dishes have those affectionate or shorthand names that stick. I haven't come across one specifically for miso soup yet, but I'm curious if there’s one out there. Maybe something used in Japan or a quirky name it’s picked up elsewhere? Would love to hear if you’ve heard anything like this!

Miso soup is affectionately called "miso" in Japan, and "misoshiru" among friends. It holds a special place in our hearts and on our tables.

Hi, Though it's not official, some folks dub miso soup as "the healer" due to its soothing qualities.

I think the nickname for miso soup is 'comfort in a bowl'! Though it's often referred to as 'umami soup' for its savory flavor.

Miso soup, AKA "The OG umami hug in a bowl"—not official, but it should be!
