Smoothies made from domestic “made-in-Japan” organic fruits and vegetables

Marugo deli ebisu, located in Ebisu, Tokyo, is a cafe with a lot of organic smoothie menu. The store policy is healthy and earth-friendly.

About 5 minutes walk from the west exit of Ebisu Station, you can find a woody entrance at the corner of the intersection.
The chairs and tables used in the shop are made of recycled driftwood and waste wood. And the walls are made of Diatomite mixed with hemp stems. When you enter the store, you can feel the earth-friendly policy.

You can enjoy seasonal drinks throughout the year. For example, strawberry smoothies are popular in spring and watermelon smoothies are popular in summer. The limited time seasonal menu is sent from marugo deli ebisu’s SNS, so check it out!

In Japan, the number of stores where you can switch to soy milk for a milk-based drink is gradually increasing, compared to a couple of years ago. But, the point of the margo deli ebisu’s drink is that organic soy milk is used.
Of course, you can change soy milk to organic milk or organic almond milk (for an additional fee).
Recently, it seems that breakfast smoothie bowls are getting attention and popularity from the customers.

There are many types of smoothies starting from 550 yen (including tax) and toppings from 120 yen. Toppings are also very creative. It is fun to customize and make your favorite drink.
For example, you can add store original granola, superfoods, and other fruits to the smoothie. As shown in the picture, not only the taste but its appearance is also strengthened and emphasized.

The drink menu includes not only smoothies, but coffee, tea and the rare drink like organic hemp-beer.

Not just a drink menu. Burgers, sandwiches, rice balls, and snacks are also available!

In addition to the drink menu, food menus and snacks are also available.
Brown rice rice balls, especially the original “hemp rice balls,” original menu of marugo deli ebisu, are popular.

Also, part of the food menu is vegan friendly, such as burgers using tempeh. This is a plant-based (vegetable) menu that does not use animal ingredients at all. For such a menu, “VEGAN” is displayed on the menu table.
Especially, “Tempeh Cutlet(Katsu) burger” is one of the recommended menus with satisfying volume.

You can also enjoy shopping for gluten-free muffins, cookies, original granola, and RAW chocolate at the shopping place inside the store.

All of the menus offered at marugo deli ebisu do not use white sugar, food additives, etc. They use carefully selected ingredients from seasonings.

For example, they use amazake or maple syrup to create muffin’s delicious sweetness. Instead of using sugar and other dairy products, regardless of the cost, they decided to use healthy products that are more earth-friendly.

Food that is friendly to both people and earth

At “marugo deli ebisu,” they put up the concept “To provide Food that is friendly to both people and earth.”
To accomplish this concept, they focus on ingredients and discount gimmicks.

Also, this idea started from their passion to “start what we can do to preserve the beautiful global environment in the future.”

For example, they quickly change plastic straws to paper straws.
The store also recommends the use of My Bags, My Cups, and My Straws. You can get a discount of 30 yen if you bring and use your own Cups.

Beyond the “fashionable cafe” genre in Ebisu, a wonderful way of thinking and delicious food has gathered attention.

While enjoying a drink and food menu that is healthy for your body, I personally thought that it feels better when I think that I am doing something friendly for earth, through drinking delicious smoothies and food of marugo deli ebisu.
