Miso

We take a numbered ticket and join the throng of people milling around outside Miso on a Friday evening. Miso is known for its tonkatsu and everyone seems to have tried it except for Monsieur Poisson. So before a night of outdoor ice-skating fun with friends, we stop in at Miso for dinner.

 

There is a special set on offer of ‘Sukiyaki Wagyu’ and, drawn in by the array of side dishes as well as the promise of succulent beef, we order one of these to share as well as the ‘Tonkatsu pork loin set’. Bentos are the best fun with all their little compartments and cute portions of food. You feel like you’re eating so much more than you really are due to the variety and Miso’s sides are quality ones to boot – salmon sashimi, deep-fried soft-shell crab, potato salad, fruit and more!

 

But nothing can take away from the star of our dinner – the tonkatsu pork loin! The fillet of pork is served ceremoniously elevated on a wire rack to ensure its golden-crumbed exterior remains crisp. The meat itself is gloriously juicy with an ideal fat to meat ratio. Condiments of mustard and tonkatsu sauce help to alleviate any heaviness from the fat, but take it easy with the mustard unless you’re looking for a sinus-clearing experience!
