Miso Soup

I've now had Miso Soup prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting. The traditional version emphasises fresh wasabi in the way seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The delicate and precise character is more pronounced and direct. The modern in…

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Miso Soup well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The subtly sweet and salty base was authentic and the use of sake showed real knowledge. seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional settings. The atmosphere was genuinel…

I made Miso Soup for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The delicate and precise profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced soy sauce used that way before. seasonal ingredients guide the menu in traditional set…

I spent three months trying every version of Miso Soup I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary.

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 tradi…

Having eaten Miso Soup at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The subtly sweet and salty quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. sake is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference. This is proper an intimate Tokyo counte…
