Fantastic Organic restaurant in Tokyo!

After living in Tokyo for 3 ½ years I have finally found a beautiful organic restaurant that I recommend with confidence.

I always prefer eating organic food as it not only ensures your body receives the high quality nutrition it also tastes better!

I was invited by Azusa san from Jasmin Aromatiques to have a business dinner at one of her friends organic restaurant. I was surprised at the range of quality organic food and beverages (Luca, the owner even makes is own Cola). All dishes were amazing and even some exotic dishes like a strawberry risotto that was surprising yummy. The one dish that I recommend above all is the dehydrated vegetables (picture). The flavor jumps to life and each vegetable is so distinct its like having a party in your mouth!

At the moment it’s their tomato harvest, so we indulged in a special tomato course. The tomato harvest is only for a limited time so please don’t miss out! This is a 6 course meal for only ￥7,800.

I have already made a reservation to go back on Saturday!

Happy Eating

UN Farmers Market Tokyo

I took a trip to the UN Famers Market in Omotesando today. We had been wanting to go for sometime but this was one of the few free Sundays Miki and I have had together to go out- it was worth it!

There was plenty of small stands with good wholesome food and some funny characters! We bought a lot of items; including organic fruits & vegies- there were also stores selling breads, jams and hot food. 

The food was all reasonably priced and most of the produce is grown in "safe places" (the farm locations are written on all the stands and a lot of the vendors speak a little english).  Lets face it, most groceries in Tokyo are expensive, but if I am going to pay top-dollar i want to receive good quality (non-chemical) food and also like to support small farmers- especially in these times.

If you have some spare time on the weekend, i highly recommend a trip to UN Farmers Market. While you are there, you can also walk down the road to Natural House, which has been refurbished and also is a good source for small farm and organic food.

p.s. this photo was supposed to be me carrying lots of groceries...... I think Miki needs to improve on her photography skills before the babys born:-)!!

Yours in good health,

Nathan
