— Minami-Aoyama, green mapo tofu and medicinal noodles
The signatures are green mapo tofu, made with soy meat and a puree of seasonal vegetables, and medicinal hand-pulled noodles with goji berries and mushrooms. It is a rare shop that makes vegan, plant-based Chinese food, using no animal ingredients and no MSG, with full Chinese cooking techniques. The representative menu includes plant-based versions of Chinese classics (sweet-and-sour style, green-pepper stir-fry, sesame balls), creative Chinese dishes that draw on medicinal-food wisdom, and seasonal creative items. The distinctive approach adds depth of flavor with medicinal-food wisdom. Owner-chef Miyuki Yoshida has 20 years of full Chinese-cooking experience, turned vegetarian after a 40-day shojin experience, and advocates a fusion of healthy eating and full Chinese cooking. The calm, refined interior is enjoyed for dates, gatherings among women, vegans, and Chinese-food fans. On Aoyama's Kotto-dori, a center of fashion and lifestyle, it sends out a new genre of vegan Chinese food. Open 11:00 to 21:00, with no closing day.
