About this place
When you crave a plentiful serving of vegetables, Vegetariteru in Ginza 1-Chome is a dependable stop. While operating primarily as a juice bar with an extensive lineup of smoothies, it also offers a substantial lunch menu centered on vegetables, from salads and potages to rice plates.
A lunchtime staple is the weekly salad lunch set. Even the half-size bowl loaded with seasonal vegetables is surprisingly generous, meant to be enjoyed by tossing the greens in the house-made dressing, which has the rich consistency of a potage. The set includes a monthly rotating mini potage, and you can tailor your carbohydrate: dip freshly baked salt bread into the soup, opt for domestic sixteen-grain rice, or omit bread and rice altogether if you prefer to keep carbs low.
Those wanting a meatier meal can turn to taco rice mounded high with minced meat and fresh vegetables, bulgogi rice seasoned with a special gochujang sauce, or ginger pork rice. The taco rice comes with a choice of house-made salsa or avocado sauce, providing a satisfying richness that easily defies the modest, light image typically associated with vegetable-focused dining.
Beverages center on nutrient-dense smoothies, headlined by the ever-popular Maji Veggie Green, which blends bok choy and spinach with fruits. Other options highlight the natural sweetness and tang of kiwi or pineapple. Sweet soy milk smoothies featuring pumpkin or persimmon, as well as comforting warm drinks like hot strawberry soy milk, offer seasonal variety.
The interior is a compact, understated space lined with counter seats, convenient for a quick sit-down bite, takeout, or delivery.
