• BEST Miso Soup in Tokyo!

Last January, I wandered into Kobachi-ya late on a chilly weeknight on my way to Tokyo Tower. The entrance to the restaurant is down some stairs from street-level (the first thing I found neat about the place). Upon entering Kobachi-ya, I was pleased to discover I was the only customer there!! Akasaka was pretty quiet that time of night. The two nice ladies working there were more than welcoming, and gave me a hearty amount of food. The miso soup I got was the best of any of the 10 vegan restaurants I visited whilst in Tokyo--dark, rich, steamy warm and VERY flavorful. The older woman working there was very proud of her miso, which she said was homemade. I can tell you firsthand: she has reason to be proud! The two were very accommodating in helping this weary vegan late in the evening, and I am very grateful. :) go here! I should've posted this review a year ago, after I went. But after this whole year, I have always remembered Kobachi-ya. Thank you from Wichita, Kansas!
