Katsu Sei ~ Tonjiru
This is unlike the clear soup you've ever tasted before. This is tonjiru
From Wikipedia:
Tonjiru or Butajiru (豚汁?) - both literally mean pig/pork soup - is a Japanese soup made with pork and vegetables, flavoured with miso.
Compared to normal miso soup, tonjiru tend to be more substantial, with a larger quantity and variety of ingredients added to the soup.
It is often eaten after marathons and other long distance races.
Tonjiru is usually made by stewing thinly sliced pieces of pork, alongside vegetables, in dashi stock, and flavoured by dissolving miso.
Mildly degreased (not crispy) bacon can be used in place of pork.
Common additional ingredients include gobo, konjac, seaweed, spring onions, daikon radish, carrot, tofu including fried tofu (aburaage), tubers such as potatoes, taro or sweet potato, and mushrooms such as shiitake and shimeji.

The one that I had in Katsu Sei is superb. It reminds me of the broth of my Pork Ramen back in Sydney.
Imagine slurping a bowl of this delicacies on a cold rainy day....
