Kisser brings a warm soul to East Nashville with its cozy and honest approach to dining. This tiny gem focuses on Japanese comfort food served inside a light and breezy neighborhood space. You can taste the deep history in every bite of their house made thick udon noodles. The chicken katsu sandwich on soft milk bread has gained a massive following for good reason. It feels like a hidden tea shop where the quality of the cooking speaks for itself. Getting a table might take some patience since locals line up well before the doors open. The menu stays small so the kitchen can perfect the few dishes they choose to serve. Make sure to try the trio of onigiri rice balls for a perfect start to lunch. This spot proves that simple traditions often make for the most memorable meals in the city.
