OMISONOMORI

7-minute walk from Koiwa. My heart fluttered as I saw the stylish sign and entered. Eat-in has 3 seats. A vegan shop selling takeout-friendly miso, miso muffins, amazake smoothies, ice cream, etc. Receiving careful staff explanation, I decided my order. Glass shows "No eggs, dairy, wheat," and POPs list allergens per item — I could order with peace of mind. For ice cream, my selfish request "serve after meal" was honored too. What I ordered: • #1 popular Mugi King (muffin) — most miso-flavor-felt • #3 popular Organic Blueberry Muffin • Miso Soup (#11 awase miso) • Forest RAW Chai Ice Cream Muffins both have crispy exterior and moist interior. I love this crispy outer texture. Still can't believe it's vegan. ▪︎ Mugi King So satisfying as a muffin sweet you'd doubt miso is used. Faint saltiness follows sweetness. The nut-like aroma turned out to be the umami of the miso used — surprising both flavor- and miso-power-wise! ▪︎ Organic Blueberry Muffin A muffin so moist, sticky-blueberry-packed you'd be surprised they did this! Dough is delicious of course, but the blueberries with sweetness and slight acidity are fully enjoyable. ▪︎ #11 Miso Soup As a vegan shop, they first explained "the dashi uses 'bonito powder.'" The ingredient-less miso soup is presented as a playful surprise — taste the miso first, then dissolve it in the dashi! Since all muffins use miso, they pair well with the soup — a cozy item anytime. ▪︎ Forest RAW Chai Ice Cream An ice cream eaten with white miso on top (a chai-novice me reports my first chai ice cream). Eating without anything, the spice goes through the nose — adult-flavor ice cream. Vanilla might be more universal? Why is it so fluffy, sticky, yet light without dairy/eggs? — A delicious ice cream that makes you wonder. With white miso sauce, the spice's slightly sharp aroma becomes rounder — you can enjoy the change in aroma. Feels like a privilege of choosing chai over vanilla. 3 ice cream balls about 5cm diameter — satisfying!
