Aren’t you guys thankful that I didn’t do a “miso” pun for the title? So tempting!! But then you would have every right not to follow this blog again. Miso sorry! Bahahaha!!! Couldn’t help myself.
Okay, in all seriousness, Lar and I are head-over-heels in love with Miso Izakaya, an amazing Japanese restaurant in the Old Fourth Ward district. We first heard about it from our foodiest of foodie friends, Chloe, stopped by for the first time a few months ago and we’ve been hooked ever since.
For a few weeks Troy was Miso’s FourSquare mayor because we would go three times a week. We’ve been a little more practical and only go once (maybe twice) a week now so he’s been de-mayored.
If you live in the Atlanta area forget about the meal you’re about to make and go immediately to Miso Izakaya. For those of you who aren’t nearby, you need to come visit and check out this amazing restaurant. Until then, drool over these photos.
Crispy duck buns:
Shoyu Tomago – a soy marinated egg over a crispy rice cake:
Troy with pork belly, kimchi fried rice:
Onigiri – grilled rice ball with salmon skin. One of my absolute favorites:
Pork kimchi:
Tuna edamame pesto:
I rarely order dessert at Asian restaurants, but I make an exception at Miso Izakaya because it serves amazing green tea creme brulee with blackberries:
It all looks amazing, no? Well these photos don’t do Chef Wong’s food justice. And AsianCajuns is obviously not a food blog, so check out Chloe’s post to hear about Miso from a pro.
Let’s us know if you’ve been to Miso Izakaya. Hopefully we’ll see you there!

June 15th, 2011 at 1:20 pmYou should definitely come to Vancouver then. With the influx of Japanese exchange students and Asian culture, there’s quite a few izakayas here. Hapa and Guu are the most notable ones, and each has multiple locations.

Sometimes, you just can’t be bothered by such trivial nonsense when it stands in the way of you getting Miso Izakaya into your belly.[Reply]

June 15th, 2011 at 2:08 pmLike, YUM! Those duck buns look delish, but probably not as delish as that kimchi pork looks! But the sexiest pic has got to be of that egg, oozing yolky goodness on that rice. kinky.
