Hareya - Atsugi

I returned for a second visit just a couple of days later and tried the sweet and sour "pork" meal, which was delicious once again. I also couldn't resist getting the same pound cake to go. Overall, a great dining experience.

The vegan menu options are delicious, and the restaurant offers a variety of goods for sale. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating.

This restaurant is fantastic- with delicious food and a lovely, rustic interior featuring natural wood and relaxing music. I tried the curry lunch set, which was served with a generous portion of tasty curry, a choice of brown, white, or a mix of both rices, a salad, and pickled vegetables. The price was very reasonable. Although the menu is in Japanese and the staff speak limited English, I was able to easily spot the items labeled as "vegan" on the printed menu and specials boards. Additionally, the shop had clearly labeled vegan items such as creamy pasta sauce, soy meats, and daily muffins.

That’s how we felt upon entering Hareya (closest station: Hon-Atsugi) for the first time. The restaurant sells fish and chicken dishes, but they also have a substantial number of vegan dishes, clearly marked as such. I tried the burger and soup set. The soup was chock FULL of veggies and quinoa. The burger was on fluffy white bread with a warm and tasty veggie meat filling of some kind. The meal was filling and so delicious. But save room for dessert! We tried the gateau chocolat, which was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Hareya isn’t just a cafe, it also has a shop inside that sells vegan/ organic products, second-hand clothes, and all sorts of things. We highly, highly recommend paying this place a visit!

Going out to eat in Japan, without worrying about which foods have fish sauce or meat broth, is extremely difficult, especially outside of Tokyo. Hareya is half organic foods shop and half organic cafe with a nice selection of vegan/vegetarian foods on the menu. The burger and the curry were great, as were the cakes made with tofu and without sugar or eggs. They have various coffee's and tea's to enjoy too (and it was a pot of tea, not a cup). It's close to Hon Atsugi Station, and a delicious island of healthy food in an ocean of fish foods...
