What is the ‘miso soup’ TikTok sound & where did it come from?

TikTok is going crazy for a viral sound of someone talking about ‘miso soup’ which was first posted in October, but where did the sound first originate?

One of TikTok’s most important features by far, is ‘sounds.’ Sounds essentially refer to any kind of audio on the app, and can range from anything from popular songs to random memes or funny sound effects.

A huge portion of the content on TikTok is created using pre-existing sounds, and this can often lead to huge networks of similar content on the platform, making certain audios go viral.

One such sound that has been doing the rounds on TikTok is the ‘miso soup’ sound. In this audio, a girl can be heard saying, “I really want some miso soup,” before a magic sound effect, after which she remarks, “oh my god, miso soup!”
