Hyperlocal Tokyo

I visited around 1:00 PM on Sunday. There were about six groups ahead of me, but I was able to get a table within 15 minutes. The weather was nice, so I sat on the terrace. There were many people with their dogs, and it was a relaxing atmosphere. I ordered the "Buddha Bowl" (around ¥2,000) that day. (All orders are placed via QR code.) The flavors of all the ingredients were well-balanced, and the pumpkin soup was delicious!

I had the chance to try the collaboration menu featuring "NIKUVEGE"! NIKUVEGE is a plant-based meat alternative born from a commitment to both ingredients and the environment. It skillfully utilizes soy protein, wheat protein, and umami components from kelp and shiitake mushrooms, adding a smoky aroma reminiscent of charcoal grilling. Through their unique research and blending techniques, they have successfully recreated the texture and flavor of real meat using only plant-based ingredients. Here's what I tried: From the limited-time collaboration menu: • Vegan Keema Curry Wrap Roll - ¥1,969 • Vegan Crab Cake with Tropical Pineapple Salsa - ¥1,529 From Mr. FARMER's regular menu: • Buddha Bowl and Soup Set - ¥2,189 • VEGGIE FULL SMOOTHIE - ¥880 • Vegan Keema Curry Wrap Roll A tortilla wrap sandwich packed with vegetables. The raw minced NIKUVEGE is infused with the flavor of spicy keema curry. It truly replicates the texture of coarsely ground meat! You wouldn't know it was plant-based unless you were told! • Vegan Crab Cake with Tropical Pineapple Salsa The minced NIKUVEGE is seasoned and combined with plenty of vegetables and herbs to create a delicious crab cake! This dish is packed with protein and vegetables. The texture is light and fluffy, just like a real crab cake. There's no hint of bean flavor, and the accompanying vegetables and salsa are also delicious, with plenty of vegetables. • Buddha Bowl and Soup Set This menu is supervised by Dr. Shotaro Michishita of Afrode Clinic in Omotesando. It's a collaboration between healthy eating and preventive medicine. Even though it doesn't contain any meat, it's incredibly satisfying and filling. • VEGGIE FULL SMOOTHIE Doctor Beauty (Red) Refresh Friends (Green) Uplift (Yellow) These colorful smoothies are made with a variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts. They have a pleasant thickness and sweetness that's sure to become addictive. The "NIKUVEGE" collaboration menu at Mr. FARMER is available for a limited time only, from July 22nd to September 30th. You can enjoy it at the following three Mr. FARMER locations in Tokyo: (Omotesando Main Store, Komazawa Olympic Park Store, Tokyo Midtown Hibiya Store) Store Website: https://mr-farmer.jp/

I had an early lunch at around 10:30 am on a weekday 😋. I ordered the green salad with soup and drink set. Water is self-service, and ordering is done via QR code. The green salad was generous in size and had a natural flavor. Since it's a vegan restaurant, the milk for coffee is soy only. It gets full around noon, so it's best to arrive a little early. There's no time limit, but it gets crowded, so you might want to leave once you're done eating. The atmosphere is nice, and it's about a 5-minute walk from Omotesando Station, so it's easily accessible. This time, I went there around 12:30 pm on a Sunday. I was able to get a table right away. The food was consistently delicious. It has a 2-hour time limit, but that's enough time to linger, so it was good. Ordering is done via QR code. If you order a drink, it will cost around ¥2,500 to ¥2,800. The restaurant was full of people having late lunch, and by 1:00 pm, almost all the seats were taken. I think it would be nice if there were some discounts on drinks or sets, as the price is a bit high for everyday use. The cost performance is a bit high... Today, I ordered the Spicy Mexican Corn. Be careful if you don't like cilantro, as it's on top ⚠️. The dressing was spicy and delicious.

The shop has a refreshing wood-toned exterior, and the interior is decorated in a natural style. Orders are placed via QR code. The portions were generous, and the food was made with healthy ingredients, making for a delightful meal. They also offer four types of detox water for free, which was a welcome service!

I recently visited Mr.FARMER, just a few minutes' walk from Omotesando Station. They have a variety of VEGGIE FULL SMOOTHIES, including: - Clean Internal - Up Lift - Dr. Beauty As for the food, I tried: - Vegan Keema Curry Wrap Roll (Limited-time collaboration menu with plant-based meat "NIKUVEGE" from 7/22 to 9/30) - Farmer's Cobb - Buddha Bowl and Soup Set Mr.FARMER is an all-vegan cafe in Omotesando. It was my first time trying an all-vegan restaurant, so I was excited! The smoothies were delicious and had no unpleasant odor. I felt like I was getting healthier just by drinking them! The colorful dishes were all very filling, which was great. I was also thrilled that they had a free-flow of various detox waters. Mr.FARMER is located at 1F, Sepia Harajuku Building, 4-5-12 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. It's a 4-minute walk from Omotesando Station and open from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
