Totally forgot to come back to this thread.

Saturday night we went to a Japanese place we don't get to any where near enough. The manager is a great guy, and he'll take good care of you. Don't even look at the menu good, he'll have them make stuff for you.

One of the specials was Spicy Lobster soup. I asked about it.

Do you like Miso?

No not really (thinking of this thread)

Have you ever had good Miso?

Not that I knew of.

Well, this isn't the same Miso you get at most places, try it and if you don't like it you don't have to pay for it (standard offer on all his choices).

OK, as he has never steered us wrong.

It was a spicy lobster vegetable Miso soup that was in a word to die for. It was wonderful. It certainly won't make me be ordering miso everyplace we go, but if it's on the special board next time we are there, it's a must have.
