WHERE TO EAT The best Miso Soup in the world (according to food experts)

Recommended by Phoebe Fong and 5 other food critics.
"The usual soy sauced flavour soup that I am used to is continents away from this. Like Cantonese soup, this is filled with clams and flavour... made with love indeed. The complexity and density of flavours could be tasted with each sip."

"The waiter brought me a little tray with some rice, pickles, miso soup and green tea. The miso was beautiful with tiny clams at the bottom."

"¥3000 (£15) buys the house set menu and so begins a flurry of activity, as hot green tea and miso soup with tiny clams are brought to the counter at which we sit. From behind this counter chefs craft gems that are eaten by hand from a wooden shelf, accompanied by a rosy pile of pickled ginger. And what a feast!"

"The menu is not extensive. Everyone comes to Huto Fudo mainly for the special local cuisine : Hotou which is noodle and vegetables in miso soup served in extra hot casserole (¥1080). Beware the portion size of their popular Houtou as it is big enough for 2. It is nice for a really cold day, worth a try for the experience."

"I'm not usually a hardcore fan of miso soup or green tea, but I'll just say that I didn't leave a drop of either, so that should speak to their value if you are a regular consumer."

"The food at Kaikaya can be described as traditional Japanese seafood with a contemporary twist. My personal favorites include senyo no carpaccio and the hama no miso-shiru, or seafood miso soup with a touch of sesame."

"The Miso Soup is just right not too salty and not watery."

"Worth mentioning is their special miso soup which came with the set. The miso soup is full of miso and flavours. I asked for refills of the soup because it was so good."

"Taking in the same miso soup that reinvigorated the tempo of so many travelers. So close your eyes, take a sip and find your tense nerves released by the warm, soothing flavor of this homely soup."

"Uobei Sushi is also a great place to bring along sushi haters. They can happily munch on miso soups. If you are looking for a fun alternative to the conveyor belt sushi, head to Uobei Sushi in Shibuya’s Dogenzaka area for some futuristic delivery service!"
