Asakusa breakfast spot for miso soup and onigiri.
Misojyu turns humble miso soup into a destination breakfast. The tiny shop near Senso-ji serves oversized bowls of miso loaded with vegetables, tofu or pork, plus beautifully made onigiri. The space is cosy and photogenic, with a gentle, relaxed pace that’s a nice antidote to the crowds outside. It’s one of the best ways to start a temple-day in Asakusa without feeling like you’re at a tourist trap.

No bookings; put your name down if there’s a short list and they’ll turn tables fairly quickly.
Several soups and onigiri can be ordered vegetarian, but broths may still be fish-based — vegans should ask carefully.
