Pandaroo Japanese instant miso soup with fried tofu

Pandaroo is a well-known Australian brand specializing in a wide variety of Asian ingredients and ready-to-eat products. Despite the "Japanese instant" labeling, which refers to the style and recipe of the soup, Pandaroo products are typically sourced and manufactured in China to cater to the Australian and international markets. The brand is designed to make authentic Asian flavors accessible for home cooking.

The brand is owned by Oriental Merchant, a major distributor of Asian food products in Australia. Since its inception, Oriental Merchant has grown significantly and was eventually acquired by the Ayam S.A. Group (Denis Group). This ownership places Pandaroo under the umbrella of a large multinational firm with a long history in the Asian food sector, headquartered in Singapore. This strategic ownership ensures a robust supply chain from manufacturing hubs in Asia to retailers worldwide.
