Good vegetarian place in Shinjuku
Did I just write that? Unbelievable!
Anyway, it is true. The restaurant is called Piman (ぴーまん) and it is right in front of Shinjuku-gyoen. That is the restaurant on the left...the other picture is Shinjuku-gyoen from the restaurant.
I was talking to Satomi this weekend and mentioned to her that I was trying to eat healthier, including more vegetables. She recommended this restaurant, so we headed over there today.
The restaurant takes nutrition seriously, well, as far as I could tell with my limited Japanese. There is a wide range of vegetarian dishes and an incredible number of fruit and vegetable drinks/yogurts. The menu is designed so that you can order a drink that addresses various health issues. I ordered the one for people that smoke.
I usually do not write about restaurants here, but this one really stood out. I hope to go back regularly.
Preyash, if you are reading this...sorry I did not know about this when you lived here. It is much healthier that an order of chips at the pub.
