Organic restaurants in Japan

  1. A

    Hiroba

    Hiroba is a veritable vegetarian oasis, particularly if you go for the lunch buffet (around ¥1300). The organic Japanese buffet includes both vegetarian and meat options; descriptions are only in Japanese but signs for each dish include cute, helpful drawings of fish or pigs to explain if animal ingredients were used. The building is off Omote-sandō, a block behind the Hanae Mori building.

    Natural Harmony Angolo

    Downshift to the pace of Natural Harmony Angolo, where the wholesome food is pure and so is the smoke-free air. The menu is largely vegetarian, augmented with some fish dishes; set meals featuring the delicately prepared vegetables du jour come with a choice of white or brown rice. Try some cold, cloudy sake with your meal and meditatively decompress.

    Kailash

    In an atmospheric old Japanese town house, this new organic restaurant is a very welcome addition to the Kyoto restaurant scene. The set lunch here usually includes a salad, rice, tsukemono, soup and a main dish. It has an English menu. We like to relax at the low tables upstairs. Look for the plants.
