Anyone know what this japanese soup is called?

Question

All i know is that it is a japanese soup and its cooked inside of a honeydew melon and served. Any idea as to what this soup is called?

Answer 1

Kaiseki and it literally means "stone in the bosom", and refers to a practice where Zen monks would ward off hunger by putting warm stones into the folds of their obi. The term came to mean a light vegetarian meal served after a tea ceremony served with honey dew melon, possibly referring to the simple meals that monks ate which staved off hunger as much as a warm stone did.

Answer 2

wintermelon soup

Answer 3

Miso

Answer 4

Japanese soups are called miso soup  miso shiru.(みそしる）

miso is made from bean curd.

shiru means soup, broth, stock.

Now I don't know about cooked in honeydew melon. Maybe the chef was been fancy, maybe they ( Japanese) created something interesting soup that I've never seen....

Answer 5

Can you describe the soup a little more?  

Noodles or not?

Sweet or savory?

Also, where did you have the soup?  USA, UK... etc.

The melon is just a generic way of making a fancy presentation.  I don't think it's done in Japan this way.
