COMPHO Introduces Limited Winter Menu Featuring Scallop Spicy Soup with Pho

COMPHO's Winter Delight: Scallop Spicy Soup with Pho

As winter approaches, COMPHO, operated by Shimada House Co., Ltd., is set to warm up your chilly days with a delightful limited-time offering. From December 16, 2025, customers can savor the unique blend of traditional spicy hot pot flavors in a bowl of pho, aptly named the "Scallop Spicy Soup with Pho."

This special dish showcases the umami of fresh scallops from Hokkaido, harmoniously mixed with the characteristic heat of spicy soup, meticulously adjusted to cater to Japanese palates. The dish promises a perfect balance of flavor and spice, ideal for food enthusiasts seeking warmth and comfort during the winter months.

Key Features of the Dish

1. The Perfect Combination with Pho

The use of domestically produced rice noodles elevates this dish. Unlike the clear noodles commonly associated with traditional spicy hot pots, these rice noodles enhance the dining experience with their fulfilling texture and bright flavor, making them an excellent match for the piquant soup.

2. Tailored to Japanese Tastes

Traditional spicy hot pots can often be too intense for those not accustomed to high levels of spice. At COMPHO, the soup has been carefully crafted to not only be spicy but also rich in umami, allowing even those who might shy away from intense flavors to enjoy it thoroughly.

3. Seasonal Highlight: Hokkaido Scallops and Sesame Paste

Fresh, seasonal scallops from Hokkaido are a standout feature of this dish, imbuing the soup with oceanic goodness. The unique spiciness from Sichuan peppercorns is harmonized by the creamy texture of sesame paste, resulting in a refined and flavorful bowl that tantalizes the taste buds.

Dedicated to a New Culinary Culture

COMPHO, founded in 2001, began its journey taking inspiration from Vietnamese pho while infusing it with Japanese flavors. The vision was to create gluten-free, rice-based noodles that would appeal to Japanese diners and potentially redefine local food culture.

Over 15 years of dedication led to the development of proprietary pho noodles, using domestically sourced rice cultivated with care. The combination of creative flair and quality has led COMPHO to craft dishes enjoyed by a diverse clientele, even being served in Shimada Group’s various establishments including nursing homes and hotels.

Not only is COMPHO’s rice noodle specially crafted to suit various dietary needs, but it has also earned the Maternity Food certification. This mark signifies that their offerings are aligned with the nutritional needs for those in maternal stages, ensuring a wholesome dining experience is accessible even during pregnancy.
