anyone else not like miso soup?

I try to like it, I really do. But I just can't get into it.

Sorry.

Sake, on the other hand....

Let me say the 1st time I tried Miso I hated it, even the 2nd time it was served I tried it just to confirm my thoughts on it.

Now I love it, especially with the scallions in it, yummy!!!

It grew on me, give it time.

The first time I tried it I thought it was laundry water.

The second time I was pretty sure.

Add me to your miso haters list. I can't get over how miso soup coagulates on the bottom unless you mix it. Gross! And it doesn't taste that great; no matter how much soy or onions you put in it.

Anyone have any success with mixers in there to make the taste less obnoxious? I was thinking maybe hot sauce.

It's definitely not my favourite part of a Japanese meal. Give me enough sake and I'll eat it.

Then again, give me enough sake and I'll eat anything.

Dirty sock soup.

Everyone who knows me knows I call it that. It's just nasty.

Maybe even dirty sock that's been through a security checkpoint nasty.

If you're trying to get into it in Boston, I'd advise you to stop. I have to say my experiences with Asian food in Boston have almost always disappointed me... I can think of a place in Porter square and a ramen shop in Boston itself that offer passable quality Japanese food, but if you're seeking something to change your mind about miso soup ... look outside Boston.

In Japan, I enjoy most miso soups. There's actually a lot of variety from one region to another - depending on the miso, the stock and the ingredients. Unfortunately, I cannot abide the miso that my wife's family makes.

Hmmm...soy. Does that make it taste even remotely better? (apparently not)

Just curious, is the good noodle shop Men Tei on Hereford St in Back Bay? I love that place.
