Japanese Ramen and Sake Bar. Miso is a paste made from fermented soy beans and barley or rice malt. It is traditional Japanese seasoning and used in a range of dishes from soups, to glazes, to dips and pickles. Miso is high in protein and contains a range of vitamins and minerals including B12, B3, E, K, iron and calcium. About miso ramen: In 1923, Chinese immigrant chef Mr Wang started work at the Takeya Café near Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan. He developed his own noodle and soup dishes that would appeal to the Japanese palette. His dishes were so successful that they were copied and in 1951 Ramen Alley in downtown Sapporo became nationally famous. Misoya Ramen: Misoya has developed its own miso ramen with a thick miso soup made from chicken and vegetable stock in consideration of Australian tastes and preferences. Egg noodles and fresh seasonal vegetables result in a ramen that is bound to please and will make you want to come back for more.

Lovely hidden spot, located on the 2nd floor on Lonsdale. Staff service was friendly Food was nice, although my partner and I were still hungry after selecting a set combo each. Extra meat was a bit on the pricey side. Otherwise, a nice ambience, with all customers forward facing the grill with accessible condiments to pair with the food stored a top the seating. Authentic cuisine, for an average dinner for 2, with 2 beverages and a few +extras, expect to spend under $120.
