A beloved Harajuku institution serving wholesome, natural cuisine in a warm and unpretentious setting tucked away from the main drag.
Mominoki House has been a fixture of the Harajuku dining scene for decades, prized for its commitment to organic and wholefood cooking long before such concepts became fashionable in Tokyo. The menu draws on Japanese and Western influences, offering hearty brown-rice bowls, seasonal vegetable plates, tofu dishes and nourishing soups that appeal to vegetarians and omnivores alike.The restaurant occupies a quietly charming building just off the bustling streets of Jingumae, with warm wooden interiors and a relaxed, lived-in atmosphere that feels worlds away from the neighbourhood's usual buzz. Regulars return as much for the calming ambience as for the reliably satisfying food.
Portions are generous and the kitchen accommodates various dietary requirements with ease. It is well worth arriving early during peak hours, as the cosy dining room fills up quickly with locals and in-the-know visitors. The nearest station is Meiji-jingumae on the Fukutoshin and Chiyoda lines.

Vegan sushi platter was good but pricey. Tried Brown rice sushi for the first time. Menu has Organic and vegan food mentioned and the ambience is unusual setting with antique feels

Cannot imagine a more perfect last meal for our trip in Tokyo. Macrobiotic, vegan, organic, delicious, healthy, thoughtfully prepared, fresh, creative, generously portioned, and upbeat. Owner has amazing energy and is so friendly and kind

The eclectic self-described food concept store, located on the north side of Harajuku. Labeled a vegetarian restaurant, but also has fish and meat options available. Healthy and fresh tasting meals, sets including miso soup and a choice
