According to an embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory including a plurality of memory cells each capable of storing at least a first bit, a second bit, and a third bit, and a memory controller configured to control the non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory is configured to output first hard bit data of the first bit, second hard bit data of the second bit, third hard bit data of the third bit, and fourth soft bit data for the first bit, the second bit, and the third bit to the memory controller. The memory controller is configured to execute error correction processing using the first hard bit data, the second hard bit data, the third hard bit data, and the fourth soft bit data.
