“Soup for Sorin” is a main story quest you can find in Assassin’s Creed Shadows in the Kii region. It is part of Junjiro’s quest on The League board on your Objectives menu. For it, you’ll have to help him, well, make some soup for Master Sorin.
Our Assassin’s Creed Shadows guide will tell you how to complete “Soup for Sorin” including where to find the merchant and how to choose the correct ingredient.
‘Soup for Sorin’ walkthrough in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The timing of when you get the “Soup for Sorin” quest isn’t set. You’ll get it after you complete Junjiro’s previous quests, “A Different Kind of Samurai” and “Secrets of the Blade” (as Yasuke). It takes place in Kii, which is a level 35 area, so even if it pops up early for you, it’s worth waiting until you’re prepared for the region.
In Kii, Junjiro will explain that he wants to, as the name suggests, make some soup for Master Sorin. He’s fretting about the ingredients, though. He says he’s in Kii to try their soy sauce and that he already has mochi and daikon — this matters because it changes your shopping list.
Junjiro will decide that the perfect ingredient that he is missing is brown like a dirt path and from the sea, but doesn’t have a heart (like a fish).
He’ll ask you to get some shoyu and one ingredient that is brown and comes from the sea. You just have to find a merchant that sells it.
Where to find the merchant in ‘Soup for Sorin’ in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Your objective will tell you that the merchant is in Yuasa. If you’re like us and kind of zone out whenever Junjiro is involved, you might have missed that you’re already in Yuasa. (Also, the name Yuasa doesn’t show up on the map unless you’re really zoomed in.) Long story short, the merchant is about 250 meters to the north-northwest along the main road.
When you get there, the ornament vendor will sell several ingredients along with the usual Hideout items. She sells more things than you need, though, so this is the test of how well you remember your conversation with Junjiro.
Buy the konbu dried kelp and the shoyu soy sauce. You need those because…
Which ingredient to choose for ‘Soup for Sorin’ in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Based on the ingredients for sale at the merchant and Junjiro’s requirements, there’s only one right answer: konbu. You’ll also need to give him the shoyu that he came to Kii for in the first place.
Even if you choose incorrectly, you’ll get the hay supply outdoor cosmetic for your Hideout and some XP.
