My daily life living in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan

Full-On Spring | Unhealthy eating habits | Need Miso Soup

- Spring is in full swing -

Many days in Tokyo now exceed 20°C (68°F).

There are Occasional strong winds and cold rain.

Typical Tokyo spring weather.

Most of the cherry blossoms have fallen.

The bright green leaves are starting to stand out.

Finally, spring is in full swing.

- Unhealthy Eating Habits -

My diet has fallen apart due to endless overtime.

Eating Famichiki at the office at night..., and a tuna mayo Onigiri, too.

Snacking on prosciutto at Saizeriya..., and even escargot.

Ate pizza at home on top of it all..., with wine, of course.

Making carbonara with jarred sauce..., plus, I finished two servings... on my own.

If I stop posting, just assume the Italians have taken me away.

In short, my diet is a complete mess.

- Need Miso Soup -

I know it in my heart.

Miso soup is exactly what I need right now.

When I was in my best shape, I ate miso soup every day.

Lately, I have gained some weight, so I bought some instant miso soup.

Of course, I chose the one with no added MSG.

This instant miso soup pack has three different flavors.

"Vegetable Miso Soup" , "Seaweed Miso Soup" , "Mushroom Miso Soup" .

It’s a 12 serving set.

It cost 1177 yen.

At about 100 yen per serving, it’s a good deal for being MSG-free.

It's a bit high in sodium, so I have to be careful not to drink too much.

For example, There are 1.8g (Sodium about 707mg) of salt per serving of vegetable miso soup.

This is normal for miso soup.

But the daily salt limit for Japanese men is 7.5g (Sodium about 2950mg).

Four cups is almost the daily limit.

The low calorie count of 51 kcal is appealing, so I’m thinking of replacing Famichiki with this miso soup.

I’ll keep some at the office for whenever I need them.
