Underwhelming Miso Soup — expected more

I was looking forward to Miso Soup here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The deeply savoury character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with sake or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The a high-end kaiseki setting setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. sake was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
