Shoya Izakaya opened late last month to a good bit of fan fare. I’ve been once (but haven’t chatted it up yet), Kessler dropped in, and Eat, Drink, Man quickly shared his thoughts. Shoya has already given Miso Izakaya more than it can handle. While MI seems to be failing (only just now obtaining a liquor license), SI is off and running. I’m gonna get back this week and then do a more in depth post; however, I wanted to drop a little 411 real quick.
Per the title, this place doesn’t offer lunch. In addition, they aren’t open Mondays (which is a good thing … but more on that … probably late today). Any who … 5pm daily.

why would you say that Miso is failing? as a food blogger, I don’t think it is right to make such suggestions. How many times have you been there to say such a thing.

I’ve been several times and wrote about it once. Nothing about the food leads me to believe they will pull it out. Lots of problems with the liquor license (their fault or not … no customer cares why a place doesn’t have liquor), problems getting in the right ingredients, and problems delivering tasty grub.

Actually, the service itself hasn’t been much of an issue for me. I think the shortcomings fall entirely on the kitchen and the management.

If this restaurant has Haru Ichiban roots, as John Kessler reports, and if it’s where the Super H is going to open, I’ll have to drop by and try this one. I’m a huge Haru Ichiban fan.

It does have HI roots and is where the new Super H is going in. Had my second meal there last night … details imminent.
