Forget the country’s fancy sushi temples. Nowadays it’s all about Japanese izakayas (a place to grab a drink and a few casual small plates). In addition to recognition from local media and diners, this spot was recently named as one of Bon Appetit’s six favorite izakayas in North America. The more homey-style of Japanese cuisine at Miso Izakaya features snacks such as crispy duck buns and an incredibly flavorful and complex pork belly ramen.
