Traveler reviews
The onigiri set was a good deal, with one onigiri, miso soup, and three sides (grilled chicken, tofu and pickles) for ¥1,330 (8-10am), with additional onigiris available for ¥250 each.
The miso soup was hearty and full of flavour, and came with fried tofu and sweet potato in the soup. The onigiri, while on the smaller side, was delicious. The grilled salmon and spicy tuna onigiris was tasty with a decent portion of fresh fish pairing well with the rice, though the brown rice onigiri was my personal favourite, as the rice had a nice salty taste to it that differed from the relative plainness of the white rice in the other onigiris.
The sides were a nice addition to the dish too, though if you’d like a smaller meal just the smaller set with one onigiri and miso soup for ¥850 will suffice.
We came at 8am on Saturday and there was a small queue of around 10 people ahead of us, and we were seated relatively quickly. The queue was a lot longer when we left at ~8:45 so do come early if you’d like to try the morning set! Seating is available on the first and second floor, with more seating available upstairs (requires walking up/down a narrow staircase).
A nice place for breakfast if you’re in the area, looking forward to returning sometime soon.
A short line up for breakfast at 8am... it's a small restaurant but we went in at 8:02 and finished breakfast by 8:20. The food was served quickly, rice and soup
Bought takeaway set from misojyu, good was still good after getting abck to my hotel. Just wished the onigiris are bigger. The pork soup was great, but make sure to have it hot, otherwise it will be too greasy.
Just had the most amazing miso soup I ever had.
This season, Misojyu features the "Miso Soup with Kale, Fig and Wagyu". It's simply amazing how they found the right mix of 14 ingredients and put it together with the Miso. Ordered the set and paired with Spicy Tuna onigiri (which is amazing too).
Dish is featured in NHK Asaichi show.
It's a pity that this is seasonal, else would love to come back for this again.
Regardless, the rest of the Miso soup offerings are tasty too. Definitely adding this to my list of must-go traditional Japanese food in Asakusa.
ごちそうさまでした！
Best quick breakfast in Asakusa for under 6 USD! The umami flavor of the miso broth is truly next level. Get there early if you don't have time to wait.
