We came here for a light lunch around 3pm and there was no line! It's pretty small inside as there were only a few seats. Each person in your party must order, so my husband ordered one set to share while I ordered one onigiri a la carte. The soup was SO good - super flavorful and the meat was so tender! The pickled plum onirigi was also really good as it was more vinegary, which I preferred over the grilled salmon onigiri. The amount of food was perfect for two people!

We were looking for a place to grab a bite near the Senso-Ji temple and Asakusa, preferably one with some vegetarian-near options, and we stumbled upon Misojyu. What a nice little place! We had seen it a little earlier in the morning and made a mental note to come back. There was already a reasonably long line at 9:30 a.m., so we knew we needed to try to come by again no later than 11:15 (we needed to be at the Sky Tree by 1:00). When we arrived the line was very long, and we worried, given the size of the restaurant, that we wouldn't have time to eat. Fortunately, the line moved quickly, and we were able to get in, have a comfortable meal, and make it to our next adventure on time (albeit with little time to spare!). At no time did we feel rushed, even though we did manage to get through fairly quickly. There was certainly no pressure from the staff. My date got the Mushroom Medley Miso soup a la carte, and I ordered the Chunky Veggie and Pork Tonjiru Set. The latter included my choice of onigiri. I absolutely love onigiri, and having one that was freshly made (not the 7-11 store bought one, thank you!) was an extra special treat. Well worth the wait! Don't be daunted by the long line should you choose to stop by.

What a simple concept but so delicious - miso soup and onigiri. The special for the miso soup when I visited was mushroom based (my favorite) - it was nice and warm and so deep in flavor and especially hit the spot given the weather outside. The onigiri I selected was the umeboshi and shiso leaf (this is definitely more of an acquired taste selection if you're not used to ume or shiso scent/flavor) - it was one of the best I've had. The umeboshi was perfectly pickled and the shiso leaf wasn't overpowering, as there was enough rice to course through the supply of leaf shavings (this is speaking as someone who has previously hated the scent and taste of shiso leaves).

My last quick meal in Tokyo! The place is relatively small but for a single person it's not too bad to get a small table. I ordered just the onigiri and it was delicious. You can only select from what's left over towards the end of the day but I don't think you can go wrong! Everything is freshly made! Most people get the soup set but I wanted something light before I head for the airport

If you are in Asakusa, this is the place to be if you love eating fresh Onigiris especially for breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant atmosphere is quaint. This place is small so I would advice to get there before the restaurant opens. Otherwise, you will be waiting in line for a little bit. They also have a "to go" window, but in my opinion it's better to eat there to fully immerse yourself in the moment.

Delightful place to stop by for breakfast when in Asakusa. Ordered two separate set items. The onigiri tasted fresh and delicious. Mushroom miso soup was exceptional. Cozy seating area upstairs.

English language help is pre printed and the person at the counter who takes the order will point to relevant info Good basic breakfast miso had lots of veg and flavor. Good onigiri. Friendly service. Free tea. If you are staying in the Asakusa area it is a fine and cheap breakfast option A set is 600 yen or $4.60

I came here for a small late lunch after snacking all morning around aminarimon street. It was an odd time, so there was plenty of room on the first floor. Many of the soups here are quite rich, and I wasn't feeling physically well that day, so I decided to go for a more classic tofu miso soup. It was the perfect thing to relax and rejuvenate me. We were blown away by the flavor of the tofu. It was refreshing and satisfying. We tried a few onigiris, but the salmon onigiri stands out by a huge margin. The salmon was really flavorful, and the rice was a good texture. I've never tried rice as sweet as theirs, but it was not too overwhelming; the perfect balance. The brown rice onigiri, which is somewhat rare in Japan, lacked some flavor, so you need that miso or the side dishes to compliment it. The texture of the brown rice onigiri was superb. Brown rice is often grainier since it's less starchy, so it's difficult to form into a sticky ball. This onigiri was held together as well as a white rice onigiri. The set also came with two tiny vegetable sides and fried chicken. The chicken was really tender, although it was not hot when I ate mine. The vegetables tasted really fresh and crisp. I would recommend this place for breakfast. They have a special breakfast set which I hope to try the next time I come here. It's also good for an early dinner (since they close at 7). This place is great if you're looking for something healthy and filling. If you want to have something low on carbs (hard to find in Japan), you can opt for only soup.

The best soup and rice ball I have ever had in Japan!! MISOJYU is super popular among my friends in Tokyo but seats are limited so there is always line even on a weekday. The wait wasn't too bad about 30 minutes (10 people in front of us). The decor of MISOJYU is arty and adorable with industrial plain wall. The ambiance is cozy and passionate because of friendly service. Choose 1 soup and 1 rice balls for their regular set, we had Chunky Vege & Pork Tonjiru set with spicy tuna rice ball (¥1,380) and White Miso Soy & Scallop Potage with grilled salmon rice ball (¥1,380). Everything is astonishingly amazingly, especially the white miso soy & scallop potage, delicious, thick and rich but not greasy at all. There was a great amount of ingredients with variety braised in the soup as a healthy and light set. We also love their plain tofu, one of side in the set, the best tofu I have ever had in my life, super soft and creamy. You can tell from all the details in your set how much the chef and staff care about & proud of their food. If you are a tourist and get tired of all the heavy food during traveling, MISOJYU is definitely the best choice to take a rest for your stomach.
