A vegetable-forward restaurant in Omotesando Hills showcasing seasonal Japanese produce in elegant comfort dishes.
Yasaiya Mei is a tranquil restaurant on the third floor of Omotesando Hills that puts vegetables firmly centre stage. Rather than treating greens as a side note, the kitchen builds entire dishes around whatever is at its seasonal best, sourcing from trusted farms across Japan to ensure freshness and flavour.The menu shifts regularly but you might encounter delicately tempura-fried seasonal greens, simmered daikon with yuzu, or a vibrant vegetable curry packed with root vegetables and fragrant spices. A popular lunch set offers excellent value, bundling a main with small sides, pickles and miso soup in a beautifully presented tray that feels like a miniature kaiseki course.
Seating is a mix of tables and a relaxed counter overlooking the open kitchen, where you can watch the chefs prepare each dish with care. The restaurant is conveniently situated within the Omotesando Hills complex, making it a lovely mid-shopping pit stop.
