Supervisor / Recommender
Registered dietitian
Click here for introduction
As a food coordinator, she specializes in work that makes the most of her sensibility, and has been proposing product plans and menus for side dishes, sweets shops, cafes, etc. So far, she has contributed to the development of many hit products by proposing more than 1000 items.
In addition, by acquiring a registered dietitian qualification and truly understanding that “food makes a human body,” she became more interested in food safety, healthy products, and environmentally friendly food.
While various information is overflowing these days, she sends reliable information in an easy-to-understand manner while utilizing her knowledge and sensibility.

Mr. Komiya, the third-generation owner, studied under Chef Tetsuo Ohira, a leading figure in the vegan and vegetarian cooking world. Then, he worked at a natural food specialty store and opened Mikawaya.
In 2017, he reopened Mikawaya Komiya-Shoten, a liquor store beloved by the local community in Mejiro, as a new restaurant integrated into the store.
Some liquor stores in Tokyo have an eat-in space inside, but it is rare to have a liquor store inside a restaurant.
The food is natural home-style cooking based on Japanese cuisine using seasonal ingredients and does not use any chemical seasonings or additives.
The vegetables are also carefully selected, with 70 to 80 percent being organic.

The interior of the restaurant has a warm atmosphere and consists of a selected liquor space, a sales space of natural foods, and a restaurant space with large tables and counters.

I ordered the “Stir-fried Seasonal Vegetables with Ginger Sauce,” one of the most popular dishes at the restaurant.

The colorful hues of the vegetables are breathtaking. The aroma of the ginger sauce accelerates the appetite.
The set meal comes with two small bowl dishes, lightly pickled vegetables, miso soup with vegetable stock, and rice with black rice. (You can have free refills of rice during lunch time.)
Today’s hors-d’oeuvre was “hijiki” and “yuba.”
The soup stock for the miso soup is made from vegetable cores and kelp. This time, I also ordered a mini salad of organic vegetables. I was very satisfied with the healthful dishes.

A liquor and natural food with 50 kinds of liquor available at all times.
In restaurants, you can also enjoy alcoholic beverages which you purchased inside the store. In Mikawaya, there is a “bottle opener system.” You can pay an additional price and enjoy the bottle you purchased in the store. The price for bottles under 700㎖ is 300 yen and over 700㎖ is 1000 yen.
Enjoying sake at reasonable prices is another idea that only a liquor store can offer.
There are always at least 50 kinds of sake available, including beer, sake and organic wine.
The number of organic wines naturally increased as Mr. Komiya made his selections with a keen eye. There is also a sake called “Mejiro” with Mikawaya’s original label.
The blackboard in the restaurant has a variety of recommended drinks!
