For lunches with excellent nutritional balance, guilt-free vegan dishes and bento boxes full of love. We have picked up 12 restaurants where you can enjoy dishes that make your body happy, from Japanese food to Italian food to sweets.
In preparation for the intense heat, this season is a time when you want to replenish your nutrition. Why don't you enjoy healthy and happy!

1. Enjoy a vegan menu [Egao Gohan Coco Kana] / around Kinkakuji

The owner, Mr. Honjo, who faces cooking to deliver the power of local vegetables from Keihoku and organically grown vegetables from Shiga and Nara, opened in 2020 with the desire to create a place where people can eat with a smile. In addition to the standard menu such as hamburger and curry, a vegan lunch that supports vegetarianism is also on standby. Salad dressing and soy milk mayonnaise are all handmade and overall volumey, but I'm happy that the vegetables are the center.

The Buddha bowl lunch is 1,540 yen (1,980 yen with a smoothie). Deep-fried soy meat and soy milk mayonnaise go well together

Using organically grown vegetables from Kamigamo and Kumiyama, as well as homemade additive-free ham and bacon, you can feel the commitment to the ingredients, and the broth that takes time to prepare gently permeates the body.

A detached cafe with Scandinavian-style interiors and furniture that makes you want to stay longer. The lunch, which is limited to 20 servings per day and includes a choice of hamburger steak or salmon meuniere, is said to contain less than 1g of salt per plate. Because it is devised with secret ingredients, it is a taste that is fully satisfied even with reduced salt.
