As the temperatures rise and summer approaches, it's essential to find ways to stay energized and refreshed. COMPHO, operated by Shimada House Corporation in Shibuya, Tokyo, has introduced a delightful seasonal menu item designed to combat summer fatigue: the "Summer Vegetable Sesame Soy Milk Pho." This unique dish will be available from June 17, 2025, at all COMPHO locations.

A Vietnamese Delight with a Summer Twist

Pho is a beloved dish originating from Vietnam, particularly appreciated for its satisfying yet light qualities. In the midst of the sweltering heat, many people lose their appetite, making a chilled version of pho a popular choice. Understanding this seasonal demand, COMPHO has crafted a dish that is not only enjoyable but also beneficial for your health.

The Summer Vegetable Sesame Soy Milk Pho is designed with summer in mind, featuring ingredients that help combat fatigue and boost wellness. The dish includes tender shabu-shabu pork, which is rich in Vitamin B1 - noted for its role in energy metabolism and fatigue recovery. Coupled with a colorful assortment of summer vegetables, the visual feast enhances your appetite.

Delicious Flavor Profile

The special sauce used in this dish is a harmonious blend of sesame, rich in essential vitamins, and gentle, creamy soy milk for a delightful texture. To elevate the flavor, the chef includes unique ingredients such as aromatic myoga and shiso, along with a dash of chili oil for that perfect kick. Every bite offers a crunchy texture from the fresh vegetables, making this pho not just a meal, but a delightful dining experience.

The Story Behind COMPHO

Founded in 1952 as Shimada Seimaido, the company began with a focus on rice - a staple of Japanese cuisine and culture. Understanding the deep love for noodles, including soba, udon, ramen, and pasta, COMPHO saw an opportunity for gluten-free rice noodles, which can be enjoyed by those with wheat allergies. Though pho is originally a Vietnamese dish, the team adapted the recipe to suit Japanese tastes, leading to the establishment of COMPHO in 2001 as a dedicated pho restaurant.

After over 15 years of research and development, they created unique rice noodles using domestically sourced rice from Joetsu City, Niigata, resulting in a product that boasts quality and safety. Today, their rice noodles are served in various establishments, including nursing facilities and hotels, and they continue to believe in the potential of pho to influence Japanese food culture positively.

Maternity Food Certification

The rice noodles used in COMPHO are certified as maternity food, indicating that they are suitable for individuals in the maternity stage, a mark endorsed by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. This ensures that the ingredients meet the nutritional standards set for pregnant and nursing individuals, emphasizing COMPHO's commitment to health and wellness.
