Nimono is usually seasoned with combinations of Soy Sauce, Sugar, Sake or Mirin.
Keep in mind that the seasoned broth in the Kabocha Soboroni recipe is not soup to drink, but only to give vegetables flavoring.

In Japan, "kabocha" may refer to either this squash, to the Western pumpkin, or indeed to other squashes.
