Miso Izakaya, Atlanta, Georgia

We only recently stumbled upon Miso Izakaya. Well, stumbled may not be the right word. More like, it's been on our list of "restaurants to try", but it was never top of mind until we heard, from several different people, great things about it. We're always a little skeptical of authentic experiences intown (albeit not impossible).

 
Miso Izakaya is hip, but that doesn't impact the traditional preparation of the food. Perusing the sushi menu, I've learned from experience that gimmicky-sounding maki rolls often cover up the fact that the food isn't all that good. Not so with Miso.

 
For our late night cravings, I settled into a standard salad with ginger dressing.

 
I went a little overboard with the sushi, especially eating so late in the evening, but the rolls were nicely presented with care. I had the avocado, inari, cucumber maki; a cucumber and wakame salad maki; and inari nigiri.
