dissapointment in Akashi Vivo City

Friday night, i went to vivo city to meet friends. We have queued 40 minutes to get our table cos i don't want to eat at the counter table. the renovation of the whole place is nice, but feel not as exclusive as the one in the city link. The menu is with lots of great photos which really promotes the dishes. we ordered 3 different set meal: salmon; Sanma and beef soup. i have to say the beef soup is a very good choice. the beef is tender and there are different vegi in the soup to enhance the sweet taste of the soup. the pity is the Chinese cabbage is dried so you cannot really chew it well.

My disspointment came from the miso soup. though it is a simple dish, it shows the skill of the chief. the miso soup here has the burned smell. i cannot tell whether it is because they overdone it or because the smell of the new bowl has come into the soup. either way, it shouldn't happen in a restaurant like Akashi. there must be a consistency of the quality to protect the reputation and branding. i feedback this to them and hopefully there is an improvement.

i will upload the picture another day as they are with my friend.
