Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The foliage, the foliage is back!

Unprecedented insect outbreaks have delayed shipments of leafy greens compared to previous years.
The first two were almost completely wiped out, but we are finally able to deliver on the third.
We will start with Tokyo Bekana, late-season Senjusuji Kyo Mizuna, early-season Round-leaf Komatsuna, and gradually arugula will begin this week.
These leaves grow fresh and spontaneously, typical of this time of year.
I think the flavor of the variety comes through honestly and without stress.
Leafy greens at this time of year are best lightly cooked, with just a little core remaining.
If it is miso soup, just a quick addition at the finish will instantly change the atmosphere of the dashi broth.
The aroma spreads in the mouth along with the moisture that overflows from the crispy texture.

We apologize for the inconvenience to our lunch customers as we have been out of kale and leafy greens for some time.
We are not quite at full strength yet, but we have many delicious leafy vegetables waiting for you, so please be sure to eat as much as you have so far.

And a little something in return for your waiting, but not a lot,
This fall and winter, we have decided to offer free refills of vegetables in our dinner pots (starting this week at our Shibuya, Meguro, and Toyosu restaurants only).
All-you-can-eat vegetables are available for all customers who order enough hot pot for the number of people, whether a la carte or as a course.
We hope you enjoy eating plenty of leafy greens grown in good health!

In addition to the annual standard "Farmers' Kale Hot Pot," this year we will also be offering "Farmers' Kale Motsunabe".
The fresh, plump wagyu beef and leafy vegetables in the broth sink into the body, creating an invigorating motsu nabe.
I hope you will be pleased with it.

It is getting quite cold in the mornings and evenings, so I will continue to deliver healthy vegetables this week while taking care of my health!
