I recreated elementary school lunch soup dish because kids loved it 😋

Yoshinojiru is the local soup dish in Nara prefecture. It is the soup thickened with starch and served at schools nationwide. Mt. Yoshino in Nara prefecture is the production area of Kuzu (arrowroot starch). Kuzu is pretty expensive, so most people here use corn/potato starch instead.

If you can take time, it's better if you can make Dashi from scratch and take time cutting fresh vegetables. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObUMAxtnCCA
