Hiyajiru (冷や汁) is a cold miso soup popular during the hot, humid summers in Japan. With cool crunchy cucumbers in savory broth that’s redolent of toasted sesame and miso, it’s a delicious Japanese regional specialty that’s most commonly associated with Miyazaki prefecture in southern Japan. This is how my family makes theirs, and because it uses dashi, it’s easy to make this chilled soup vegan friendly by using a konbu-based stock.
