*drools* I'm hungry... :google:

Miso is a soybean paste that is made by mixing cooked soybeans, salt, a grain (usually barley or rice), and a starter (fermenting agent) called koji. The different types are usually classified by color, flavor, and the ingredients.

One of the better ones that I've had was where I stopped for asameshi in Shinjuku. It just had a trace of miso, but had tofu, seaweed, and baby clams. Definitely hit the spot when I was there in December.

One thing that no one mantioned was the stock base... The sushi place I always hang out at uses a fish stock made from bonito... :)

i love miso soup
some restaurant use softer seaweed...
i prefer the harder type...
nicer

Really? You drink it as if it were tea. Or coffee for that matter...............

I just drink it whenever I have a meal, or when the "wife" makes it for me!

i dont like japanese soup

my fav soup is TOMYAM :hehe: really spicy *yummy*

There's a Yoshinoya chain around where I live. I haven't tried their miso soup but their beef-bowel is delicious. :drooling:

Yoshinoya chain? never heard of that one. The japanese fastfood i've tried before is tokyo-tokyo.
Anyway, the best place to eat japanese food is in a japanese buffet restaurant... ahh. yum...yum... hehehe
Some of these restaurants are a bit expensive though so better make sure you check around.

I've kinda noticed in some jdorama that asking a girl to make you miso soup is kinda like an old fashion way of proposing?
