About
Brown Rice is a fully vegan restaurant tucked down a quiet lane just off the main Omotesando strip, operated by British skincare brand Neal's Yard Remedies. Open since 2003, it follows a macrobiotic, whole food approach rooted in traditional Japanese home cooking. The menu is small and seasonal, centered on ichiju sansai style set meals: brown rice, miso soup, pickles, and a rotating selection of vegetable dishes. Everything is organic, made in house, and served on handmade pottery from local artisans. The interior is calm and minimal, designed by Shinichiro Ogata, with a leafy terrace that makes it feel removed from the Omotesando crowds. It runs on 100% renewable energy.
