Last used as a bowling alley after World War II, the 3000 square foot basement of Miso creates a true dining experience. Our unique seating arrangement consists of a 40-foot long vinyl banquette with dining tables across from the bar, couches and slipper chairs in a cozy lounge area, high-top tables, and a great little elevated nook for parties of 6-8 people. Check out the photo section of the website for interior photos. Our Kyoto room is available for private parties of up to 20+ people so plan your next business function, birthday, or reunion in the basement of Miso!
With Totally 80s Wednesdays and Music Video Thursdays, there is not a lack of nightlife in the basement of Miso. We have a great selection of hot and cold sakes, creative cocktail concoctions, an extensive wine list, and a wide variety of Japanese import beers. We invite you to indulge in an orgy of the senses with a cocept that is unlike any other in St. Louis. We look forward to serving you!

Eating is one of our greatest pleasures. When eating, flavor is not everything. All our senses become involved. Food tastes better when the color, shape, texture, and fragrance are appealing, and even better with stellar ambience.
It's said that the human tongue can detect only four basic tastes: sweet, sour, bitter and salty, and that all tastes are combinations of these. A fifth taste, Umami, was identified in 1908 by Kikunae, Ikeda of Tokyo Imperial University and in recent years has been revisited. Both the word and the concept are Japanese, and in Japan are of some antiquity.
Umami is hard to translate, judging by the number of English words that have been suggested as equivalents, such as savory, essence, pungent, and deliciousness. It's often times associated with a feeling of perfect quality in a taste, or of some special emotional circumstance in which a taste is experienced. It is also said to involve all the senses, not just that of taste. There's more than a suggestion of a spiritual or mystical quality about the word. From the diverse seating arrangement, to the music, the lights, the visual effects, and the people who accompany you on each occasion. |
