Supervisor / Recommender
The concept is to provide vegan food that everyone can enjoy without “discrimination.”
Meunota is an international vegan cafe in Koenji. The restaurant’s menu is free of “meat, fish, eggs, and dairy products,” and is made only from fresh vegetables and plant-based ingredients such as grains. The food prepared by the owner, Mr. Ban, is healthy, stylish in appearance, and most importantly, delicious. Although you may not imagine it from the narrow entrance, the restaurant has a gentle American country-style atmosphere, where you can enjoy a relaxing meal away from the hustle and bustle of Koenji. Recommendation is the “one-plate lunch,” served colorfully on a single large plate.
Lunch Menu
Although there are not many dishes on the lunch menu, they are all generous in volume and beautifully presented. This is the “Veggie & Grain Deli Plate,” a standard lunch menu.
Veggie & Grain Deli Plate ¥1,300
Plenty of side dishes are arranged around a bowl of fluffy brown rice. On this particular day, there were fried burdock root, sweet potato and shishito pepper, carrot and cumin namul, homemade tofu, yuzu and turnip pickles, sprouts, salad, and more than 20 different vegetables at a quick count. For soup, I chose the mushroom potage. It was very rich with the flavor of mushrooms, which I could not believe was only plant-based.
This is the “Vegan Meal” which comes with two types of curry.
Vegan Meal ¥1,380
Brown rice, South Indian style coconut curry, curry of the day, soy milk yogurt, papad, salad, and side dishes are served on a tray. The coconut curry has the perfect combination of the sourness of tomatoes and the mild sweetness of coconut milk. The time I visited, “Today’s curry” was a vegan keema curry with lots of ideas, combining vegetables and wild tofu. Even though it does not contain any meat, the taste is satisfying enough. There are also plenty of side dishes that go perfectly with brown rice. Simple but not monotonous, such as achar with onions and pickled turnips, and very well seasoned to bring out the flavor of the ingredients.

Side dish
During lunch time, you can get a drink set for an extra 100 yen, which is highly recommended. You can also choose from health-conscious herbal teas, grain coffee, and organic soy milk. You do not have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the taste of vegan food and the comfort your body will feel after eating!
