Tanuki koji Shopping Street is a major tourist attraction in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and has long been a favorite shopping spot for local residents. Natural Food Dinning LOHAS is a raw food café located on Tanuki koji 7-chome that is also gluten-free and vegan. Even the name of the restaurant gives the impression that it is very healthy for the body, but what kind of menu does it offer? Let us introduce you to the lunch menu and the interior of the restaurant.

Natural Food Dinning LOHAS is located at the west end of 7th Street, just where the arcade breaks off.
In addition to its location in a business hotel, the restaurant is raw food and gluten-free, and in my several visits, I have seen a few international customers.Natural Food Dinning LOHAS is located at the west end of 7th Street, just where the arcade breaks off.

The basic concept of the LOHAS menu is “raw food”.
…What is raw food, anyway?
The English word for raw is “Raw,” which means “raw” in Japanese and translates directly to “raw food.
Simply put, raw food is a diet in which food is consumed in its uncooked state.
…Why is raw food better?
This is because an environment below 48 degrees Celsius is desirable for the natural enzymes and nutrients in food to be fully effective.The basic concept of the LOHAS menu is “raw food”.

This is because an environment below 48 degrees Celsius is desirable for the natural enzymes and nutrients in food to be fully effective.
However, fermented foods such as miso and natto are recognized as raw foods because they continue to ferment even though they are heated during the production process.
There are a total of four LOHAS lunch menus that are prepared in a way that utilizes enzymes and nutrients as much as possible.
*As of October 2023.
According to the specified ingredients list, the only gluten-free menu items are the LOHAS homemade curry in the B set or the power salad set with protein drink.
However, the soba in the C set is made with juwari, so the soba itself is gluten-free. However, the soba noodles themselves are gluten-free, since wheat seems to be used as an ingredient in the dipping sauce, so those with allergies can make the dipping sauce gluten-free as well for an additional ¥260.
Ordered on the day of the photo shoot was the B set “LOHAS homemade curry”. It comes with potato potage.
Although not shown in the photo, I chose organic green tea as my set drink.According to the specified ingredients list, the only gluten-free menu items are the LOHAS homemade curry in the B set or the power salad set with protein drink.

Although people tend to imagine raw food menus as “cold food,” this is not the case, and the food was prepared at an exquisite temperature that tasted “delicious” when brought to the mouth.
The curry is neither too sweet nor too spicy, but has a rich flavor with just the right amount of spice. Since “shrimp” is listed as a specified raw material, I guess it is shrimp soup stock. However, I don’t think the shrimp was that prominent in the dish. It went well with the crunchy vegetables, soi berg and enzyme brown rice.
The soy burger, made with soybean meat, had a texture similar to ground chicken and fell apart when spooned in.

The vegetables are not entirely “raw,” but are carefully cooked at a low temperature, so the sweetness of the vegetables can be felt with each bite.
And the best part is the enzyme brown rice.
As the term “Nekase Brown Rice” is known, by letting the rice rest after cooking, the enzymes are activated and the brown rice becomes soft and glutinous.
Personally, I like it so much that when I see enzyme brown rice on a restaurant menu, I order it with a high probability (laughs).
The following is an image from a visit with an acquaintance on another day.
In the foreground is the A set of Gapao Rice & Raw Nut Veggie Sushi, and in the back is the C set of Juwari Soba.
