Brown Rice & Vegetable Cafe, Hanada Rosso

Located not that far from Harajuku Station, Hanada Rosso is the latest restaurant to be managed by celebrity restaurateur Minako Hanada. It’s in very good company, joining Ginza’s Maxim’s de Paris, Roppongi’s Pub Cardinal, and Shinjuku’s El Flamenco – all past stops in her illustrious curriculum vitae. On offer at Hanada Rosso is ‘Hanada-style brown rice and vegetables’, macrobiotic fare not for the faint of heart. Whenever possible the brown rice and vegetables are procured from trustworthy farming collectives that do not use pesticides. The vegetarian hamburger, the demi-glace – in fact everything on the menu – is handmade, and without using any refined sugar or additives. The terrace is even enclosed, so you can enjoy outdoor dining even on a rainy day.
