food&drink SHOP ORGANIC! Raw vegans can find refuge in the culinary jungle of Tokyo at Rainbow RawFood Café in Ebisu. The restaurant provides a plethora of uncooked foods that pack in the nutrients as well as scrumptiousness, serving up everything from raw burritos, pizzas, taco rice and pad thais. There’s also an impressive selection of raw cakes—the raw chocolate being a highlight—and plenty of other desserts, such as raw crème brûlées and shakes, as well as herbal teas and smoothies sure to revitalize and replenish. 2F Grace Aoyama, 2-3-11 Minami, Ebisu, Shibuya-ku. Ebisu. http://rainbowrawfood.com “Vegetarian” isn’t what comes to mind when speaking of Hawaiian food, but Island Veggie in Hiroo changes that. The venue, an homage to Waikiki diners, is a macrobiotic fast-food joint with a wide selection of vegan burgers (¥980-¥1,200), sandwiches (¥650-¥700), and a la carte breakfast favorites, including scrambled “eggs” and soy chicken nuggets. Also on hand are fresh smoothies, creamy shakes and zesty açaí bowls. Come in the daytime; food tends to run out towards night. 5-3-9 Hiroo, Shibuya-ku. Hiroo. www.islandveggie.com Bonraspail.

Here, veggies and non-veggies alike can put their differences aside to enjoy what anyone, anywhere can always appreciate—great food. Found on the basement floor of the shopping complex Luz Jiyugaoka, the restaurant has a bright and woody interior with an open kitchen and a tempting display of desserts greeting customers upon their entrance. The lunch menu (from ¥1,350 on weekdays) includes a salad and a choice of coffee or tea, with a selection of main dishes, including the spicy, coconut-flavored Massaman curry and Doria with paella-style rice covered in a soy béchamel sauce. The cauliflower mousse offered as a side dish is so rich and creamy that it’s hard to believe it’s dairy-free—as a matter of fact, you probably wouldn’t be able to guess if you weren’t pre-warned, but that goes for just about anything on the menu. One of the great things about T’s Restaurant is that taste is never sacrificed for the food being vegan, and the same dishes that veggies usually have to avoid elsewhere can be enjoyed without leaving you feeling dissatisfied—even for those who aren’t accustomed to vegan eating. There are also plenty of dessert options, such as the T’s parfait and caramel crème brûlée, and on your way to the cashier, you can even pick up some of the food products used in the restaurant kitchen, such as the béchamel sauce, vegetable stock and curry, to enjoy on your own. So next time you’re trying to decide on a restaurant that will satisfy those of every dietary persuasion, try T’s Restaurant and you won’t be disappointed. Daily, 11am-10pm.
