Just a short walk south along Sakaisuji from Nihonbashi Station, you'll find this traditional miso shop. I've been curious about their lunch for a while now, and today I finally had the chance to visit! Luckily, I was able to squeeze in without a reservation. I ordered the "Miso Cafe Lunch" with one soup and four side dishes. The miso soup was made with barley koji, which had a gentle flavor with lots of vegetables and low salt content. The other dishes looked healthy too. The rice was refillable, but I resisted the temptation. The set meal looked delicious, and each dish tasted great with a variety of miso flavors to enjoy. The organic ancient rice was full of flavor. I wanted more rice, but I resisted and ate until I was 80% full, sticking to my health goals. Overall, it was a delightful meal. You can also buy the delicious miso to take home. I recommend making a reservation for lunch as the space is small. I honestly thought I could eat this lunch every day! Miso and koji are amazing! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

Let's have lunch after a long time! My friend made a reservation at a restaurant I've been wanting to go to for a while - Daigen Miso. They offer a lunch where you can taste various types of miso. It was a great opportunity to learn different ways to enjoy miso. #NihonbashiDaigenMiso #MisoSoup

I had lunch. I was surprised by the variety of miso types, and I thought all the flavors would be strong because of miso, but they were all balanced and delicious. The miso ice cream for dessert was also good.

Perfect for lunch. Great value for money.

I stumbled upon a shop during the scorching heat and tried their "Koji no Megumi," a delicious drink made by mixing amazake with fruit juice. It was so refreshing! I saw miso in the ice cream case at the entrance, so next time, I definitely want to go back to buy some miso! I also want to visit the cafe at the same time!

"Creating people with rich hearts through miso" is the theme of the shop. Established in the 6th year of the Bunka era, the Daigen Miso Main Store in Nihonbashi has been featured in numerous media outlets. Just like a gelato shop, the showcase is lined with various types of miso. On the first floor, a variety of miso products are sold to introduce the wonderfulness of the traditional Japanese seasoning "miso". On the second floor, a café space is open to convey the charm of miso and fermented foods to many people. They offer a slightly luxurious and body-friendly lunch centered around miso and seasonal vegetables 3-4 times a week. The miso soup plate lunch costs 1200 yen and features a weekly changing menu including salmon and vegetable miso soup, organic brown rice (with meat miso tsukudani), fried car fu (with honin red dashi), wakame and bean sprout salt koji namul, sweet potato salad (with amazake), 3 kinds of miso side dishes, salt koji pickles, and miso pound cake. It was a heartwarming lunch where you can enjoy various types of miso. The café menu also includes enticing items such as drinks made with amazake and miso sweets. Lunch reservations are preferred as the majority of customers had reservations, so it's better to confirm the lunch operating days by phone."

I don't go here every day, but on the day I went, they happened to be open and I went in! It's rare, right? A miso cafe!! The miso ice cream in a monaka was delicious! It had a sweet and savory taste! On that day, I also tried a sample drink, the grapefruit amazake (laughs). I got to taste it twice!! It's really delicious! I used to think I only liked warm amazake, but cold is good too!! It's refreshing. I want to go again!

I went to this place on the day when I decided to go to Namba. The nearest station is Nihonbashi. The lunch at MISO Cafe on the second floor of the main store has very limited operating days, so please check the website in advance (for example, it is open for 9 days in July and 6 days in August). Please see the menu photo for details of the 1296 yen miso soup plate lunch. I am from Tokyo, so I am not very familiar with white miso, and I only eat my husband's mother's ozoni once a year, but the tofu miso soup made with Shiro-Fuji white miso was really sweet but very mellow and delicious. The mozuku noodles were refreshing, and the miso-marinated mackerel, meat miso tsukudani on brown rice, were also really delicious, making me feel like I could eat rice (with seconds allowed) endlessly. They also brought me more miso and vegetable sticks for refills, as well as a new spicy miso product, which made me very satisfied. In the first-floor shop, miso is sold in a stylish way, like ice cream, by weight. I bought a can of autumn mackerel miso stew (453 yen) as a souvenir on my way home. This lunch seems to make my body very happy, so I would like to check the menu again and revisit.

"Hey! I want to eat raw vegetables deliciously!" That's why I went to this place. - Location: Across from Sakaisuji at the Kuromon Market. Clean and open early in the morning. - Products: Mainly selling miso by weight. Also has freeze-dried products, koji, soy sauce, etc. In the past, miso was scooped from a large barrel and sold by weight using a ladle. Now it's more like gelato? - Kishu Kinzanji Miso: I didn't know about this before. The original Kishu Kinzanji Miso is from Wakayama. It's known for having ginger in it. I prepared some vegetable sticks and took a bite. The aroma is amazing! It has a unique fermented smell, like Nara pickles or sake lees. This might not be for everyone. When you eat it, you can enjoy the sweetness of chunks of melon and the flavor of shredded ginger. It might be easier to eat if you mix it with mayonnaise or other miso. Thank you for the meal.

I came to buy miso for ramen. There are many types and the staff is very polite, it's a really good store.
