What other travelers are saying about Misojyu Japan
This has been one of the most memorable meals I have ever had. I came early with a friend and there was already a line of about 15 people but it moved quick. I ordered a set meal and an onigiri. I got the pork miso soup meal set which came with a side of grilled chicken and tofu. The entire meal was delicious and the onigiri was also really good. We had upstairs seating and on a table of 4, my friend and I sat across from each other and to my right a stranger and her companion sat across from each other. I had never come across this style of sharing tables with strangers but it seemed like the norm and it felt totally fine after the initial surprise. The staff were pleasant and very efficient-the line moves quickly and you get your food really quickly as well. The prices are really affordable too, the entire meal plus the onigiri cost under $15. This is a must go to in Asakusa.
Came here around 11am on Tuesday, waited a fair bit under the rain as the que was quite long. We ordered Legendary Tofu Soup set that comes with 2 onigiris and we ordered another 2 onigiris. The onigiris are ok for me and they are quite pricey as you would expect in a touristy area. The tofu soup however, deserves their Legendary title. It is indeed legendary. The tofu i would say is the best tofu i have ever had in my life. The tofu is fragrant with their own unique soy smell, silky smooth yet bitey. Absolutely fantastic. Would i go again? Probably not. I would only go back for their tofu soup and that is only if the que are not as long. So if you do go, i would highly recommend the legendary tofu soup.
Busy but less crowded compared to others. Could get tables at 11am compared to the long queues at some other places. The lunch set consists of an onigiri, a large bowl of soup and some sides. The combination is great and fills up. The soup is very good.
There’s quite a bit of wait but the line moves quickly. I got the mushroom medley set. I think I got chicken or pork as a side dish which I didn’t expect to receive as I cannot eat them. I think you’re supposed to specify to them what side you’d like, which I unfortunately didn’t. The meal was filling and delicious, I liked the matcha drink.
Stopped by a cozy onigiri spot for breakfast and tried a beautiful selection of rice balls, each with its own personality. We ordered one of each onigiri and also one soup set (total ¥2100).
The highlight for me was the onigiri with salmon mayo; unlike other mayo-based onigiri I have tried, this mayo was more tart, with a hint of sour cream. Another standout was the one with spicy tuna, where the chilli oil complimented the seasoned tuna perfectly. The miso soup was earthy and not very salty; it included sweet potato slices and leafy vegetables.
Overall, the meal was simply but tasty, perfect for a quick breakfast.
