(Update 24/04/2015: Potager Marche is straight off closed.)
We hitting our get-go total twenty-four hours inwards Tokyo without having actually done much inwards the agency of planning. Luckily, Matt was on the representative as well as had our twenty-four hours pretty good mapped out. We started amongst a wander roughly Nakemuguro, browsing through a few shops as well as wending our agency towards Potager Marche, a vegetable focused deli. They sell fruit as well as veggies, pre-made veggie meals as well as snacks as well as bring a tiffin laid upwards for people who desire to swallow in.
We hitting our get-go total twenty-four hours inwards Tokyo without having actually done much inwards the agency of planning. Luckily, Matt was on the representative as well as had our twenty-four hours pretty good mapped out. We started amongst a wander roughly Nakemuguro, browsing through a few shops as well as wending our agency towards Potager Marche, a vegetable focused deli. They sell fruit as well as veggies, pre-made veggie meals as well as snacks as well as bring a tiffin laid upwards for people who desire to swallow in.
The tiffin laid upwards is 1290円 (AU$13.50) as well as involves a lilliputian loving cup of soup, a staff of life stick, fresh leafy salad, your pick of iii sides as well as a freshly squeezed veggie juice. The sides were the most interesting - at that topographic point were pickled veggies, a twosome of unlike kinds of mock meat, a gratin as well as and hence on. Everything was fresh as well as tasty - it felt similar a proficient salubrious start to our Tokyo eating.
We followed upwards amongst a watch to their nearby sis establishment, Patisserie Potager, a sweets store amongst an intriguing focus on vegetables - everything has a vegetable component, as well as hence there's pumpkin as well as corn-based treats, radish jelly as well as a whole make of other odd-sounding desserts. I had a white asparagus souffle (470 円 $4.90), spell Cindy went for the passionfruit as well as yellowish capsicum jelly amongst yoghurt mousse (470 円 $4.90). Both were excellent, although the capsicum inwards Cindy's got a fleck lost nether the other flavours spell my souffle had distinct hints of asparagus that worked surprisingly good inwards a sweetness context. It's a fun store as well as 1 that would vantage to a greater extent than exploration. Vegans mightiness create produce though, my feel was that everything was heavy on the dairy.
We strolled roughly for a while, making our agency upwards the Hikarie building for a persuasion over Shibuya as well as surrounds as well as some impressive blueprint exhibitions earlier trekking dorsum out to rail downwards a origin of decent coffee.
Matt knew simply the house - Omotesando Koffee, tucked away inwards the dorsum streets as well as offering a tiny peaceful oasis inwards the midst of the city's buzz. The estrus was hitting us pretty difficult subsequently our walking, as well as hence nosotros all ordered variations on iced coffee: iced latte for me (530円 $5.60), iced mocha for Cindy (660円 $6.90) as well as an iced cappucino doppio (660円 $6.90) for Matt. We were all sucked inwards yesteryear the amazing baked custard cubes equally good (170円 $1.80).
The excogitation for dinner was to come across upwards amongst the residuum of my menage unit of measurement inwards Shinjuku where they were staying, but delays inwards their carry from the airdrome meant nosotros had fourth dimension for dinner first. Like a magician, Matt remembered the being of Ain Soph Journey, an all vegan restaurant, simply equally nosotros were nigh to walk past.
This was some other Japanese veg*n house that was stuck on Western nutrient - Ain Soph offered risotto, tortillas, paella as well as other slightly uninspiring carte du jour items. I naively expected that most places would endure doing vegetarian versions of Japanese dishes, but that didn't appear to endure the case.
We ordered a mix of dishes to portion betwixt the iii of us: tofu Castilian omelet (800円 $8.40), tortilla amongst dips (1200円 $12.60), deep fried veggie meat (650円 $6.80), salad of the twenty-four hours (1500円 $15.80) as well as a veggie cutlet (650円 $6.80). The ii fried mock-meat dishes were the highlights, amongst the salad as well as dips passable but overpriced as well as the omelet a fleck lacking inwards flavour. It's lovely (and rare) to endure able to lodge freely inwards Japan, as well as hence Ain Soph's fully vegan carte du jour is going to endure a life saver for some, but the nutrient itself likely won't blow anyone's mind.
After a quick grab upwards amongst the residuum of the menage unit of measurement at their hotel inwards Shinjuku, nosotros collapsed dorsum at Matt's solid as well as recharged our batteries for twenty-four hours 2, wiped out from also much nutrient as well as also much heat.
