Birchbox and Itsu's Miso Soup!

I received my Birchbox beauty box today - my last final one ever! I've decided not to re-subscribe because the products I get seem tinier every time AND they decided to get rid of the cute little Birchbox bags they usually have the products in. How sad. It's their first anniversary so good for them! But with these beauty boxes I've been subscribing to, I now have a mountainful of beauty stuff left, right and center! I was suppose to sort all my beauty products today but have been somewhat occupied elsewhere. I'll do it in a while - promise!

The thing I love about Birchbox is that it really isn't all about beauty products. They always have a bonus little thing going on - which always tend to be food stuff. I do like food stuff. Food stuff pleases me! So for January's Birchbox, I received Itsu's miso soup in a sachet.

I thought I'd enjoy it right this minute as I'm writing this. There was an Itsu by the University I used to go to and I remember one time I got a miso soup from there - I was very very thirsty. I got there just before closing time so took my miso soup away to enjoy. Think it might have been one of the very first times I'd tried miso soup. I had it and it was so so salty. I was sure it wasn't suppose to taste like that but I consumed the lot of it anyway. I was thirsty afterall. All the other miso soups I've tried since were never that salty!

So......after my experience with Itsu - which I never visited again since - I thought I'll give this one a try now. It wasn't salty and was just the way miso soup is suppose to taste. It's cloudy in the cup and I'm loving the amount of seaweed in it. Best part is always the seaweed. Itsu - you haven't disappointed!
