MISONOMI

A miso soup specialty café standing on a quiet corner about a 10-minute walk from Kiyosumi-Shirakawa Station. Soups are gluten-free, and they also have vegan-friendly ones using vegetable bouillon and plant-based spices. What I ordered: ---------- 🍲 Soup Set (soup + takuan + salt rice ball) For the soup, I chose "Goji Berry & Lotus Root Quinoa Miso Soup"! With brown rice miso ball, quinoa, freeze-dried lotus root and brown rice puffs, and goji berries, when you pour hot water the ingredients dance like petals — a beautiful, new-sensation miso soup. Adding the salt rice ball makes a risotto-style version, also delicious. All 4 brown rice miso soups use vegetable bouillon — vegan! ---------- At the adjoining matcha café "MATCHA&," you can have original matcha lattes fused with miso and superfoods. Milk can be switched to oat milk for +¥50 — happy news for vegans. The pristine white, refined interior is quiet and relaxing. Matcha drinks and miso soup are takeout-friendly, and they sell souvenirs too, so please drop by on a Kiyosumi-Shirakawa stroll.
