Delicious fresh vegetables sent to the shop directly from the farmers! A wide variety of vegan items on the menu.
Mr. FARMER is a popular restaurant which has six branches around Tokyo area, serving dishes prepared with fresh vegetables sent to them directly from the farmers and no artificial seasonings.
With the theme of “beauty and health made from the food,” they offer power protein menus for athletes, gluten-free, and vegan dishes with fresh organic vegetables.
Vegan Burger
There are a lot of “Gram” worthy menus, which use colorful vegetables abundantly. These delicious unique dishes and salads are very popular among women.
The Omotesando store is a stylish cafe with an attractive woody appearance.
Perhaps because of the location of Omotesando compared to the other branches, customers are younger and foreigners and men also come to the store. There are also terrace seats facing the street.

When you visit the restaurant, I recommend to try vegan dishes that you can taste all the fresh vegetables from the farmers.
This is an Asian wrap roll made with hemp seed tabbouleh and soymeat.
A green tortilla blended into spinach wrapped with avocado, hemp seeds, vegetables, soybean meat that tastes like chicken breast strips, and bright pink red radish.
This satisfying wrap is falavored with fragrant sesame oil that Japanese people love, which goes well with crunchy hemp seeds and soft soymeat that you would not recognize it as being made from soybeans.
If you eat this with a side-salad mixed with coriander, it gives a different flavor and is very delicious.

The Omotesando store also has a vegan menu for salads, hamburgers, and curries. And all the soups are vegan.

Butternut pumpkin soup
Their vegan dishes have lots of flavors enhanced with the original taste of fresh vegetables without any animal and dairy products used.
Most of the menus are healthy dishes with vegetables, but there are also meat-based dishes available, so even if you are not a vegetarian or vegan, you will be fully satisfied.
There are also sweets, you can come here to enjoy the sweets with drink or holiday brunch.

Mr. FARMER’s healthy, beauty, and health-conscious menu has a comfortable balance of vegan, non-vegan, and gluten-free dishes that are not too stoic, so that everyone can enjoy it on the same table!
Speaking of Mr. FARMER, they have a famous “photogenic Water Bar.”
Water Bar
The glass water server filled with water and sliced fruits and vegetables.
The water looks clear, but when you drink it, the aroma of mint and grapefruit spreads refreshingly in your mouth, making you feel like you could drink as many glasses as you want. It is nice to have such a service where you can enjoy both the appearance and the taste.

Depending on the store, Mr. FARMER has different menus and atmospheres, such as focusing on vegan or desserts and having a pet-friendly terrace.
The restaurant has 6 branches mainly in Tokyo, so you can visit each of them for a variety of occasions.

I currently work as an editor, but my previous job was as a chef, with many years of experience working in hospitals, restaurants, and the food service industry. Looking back, I think my connection to halal may have already been there.
Decades ago, I once worked in a cafeteria at an auction venue. Over 60% of the visitors were foreigners. Many Muslims were present, and the venue had a mosque-like prayer space. I remember being frequently asked questions about whether the meat was halal and what kind of meat it was. At certain times, the cafeteria would become as lively as a festival. The Indian restaurant next door would generously serve free biryani, curry, and sweet drinks to everyone who came. Over 100 people, including people wearing bright red turbans, galabeyas, and traditional attire, gathered in the cafeteria, all sitting around the same table and enjoying a truly enjoyable time. Looking back, it was iftar, the end of fasting, and I understand the significance of sharing, but at the time I was ignorant of halal and Islam, and didn't even consider how to respond. They only ate the curry made by the Indians in the restaurant. As I studied halal, I realized, "I wanted to eat Japanese food, but I couldn't." I regret not doing anything even though there was something I could have done.
If only it didn't contain pork! If only it didn't contain wheat or buckwheat! I could eat it... Food insecurity is different for each person.
That's why I think it's important to learn about the differences in culture, religion, and lifestyle that underlie it, and to create an environment where everyone can enjoy delicious meals in comfort.
The desire for delicious, safe, and secure food is universal. The times are calling for people to live in new ways that transcend borders and religions. I hope that halal can be a gateway to eliminating food insecurity, contributing even in some small way to a society where people can coexist and prosper with more liberal thinking, and to global harmony beyond.
