The Maruyama Park area of Sapporo is known as a spot dotted with fashionable cafes. Holistic Bio Cafe Veggy Way is a vegan café located a minute walk from Maruyama Koen Subway Station.
This time, we would like to report on their popular “Chef’s Lunch” menu.
Healing the mind and body. Café based on “Holistic Nutrition
What is “Holistic Nutrition”?
Mind, Body and Spirit. It is a nutritional science that considers all three in a comprehensive manner.
Holistic Nutrition is a new approach to nutrition that takes into account a person’s innate constitution and living environment, in addition to conventional nutritional science, which approaches nutrition from the perspective of nutrient balance and calorie counting. In addition to the traditional nutritional approach of balancing nutrients and calculating calories, holistic nutrition considers how the body functions by taking into account a person’s innate constitution, living environment, and mental state at the time.

Vegway is a café that serves oriental vegan meals that integrate the balance of mind, body, and spirit, and use as few pesticides and chemical fertilizers as possible.
Incidentally, oriental vegan refers to a vegetarian diet that excludes “five pungent” vegetables such as leeks, chives, and garlic.
Enjoy the “Chef’s Lunch” held several times a month!
In addition to the regular menu, Vegway offers a special lunch prepared by the owner-chef a few times a month.
The dishes are very elaborate and of course limited in quantity. Reservations are recommended if you want to be sure of a meal.
On the regular menu, I once had vegan ramen and was impressed by its deliciousness, but that story is for another time.
Each dish is like a jewel, a side dish carefully arranged in a bowl.
The surprise and excitement when the lid is opened.
This is what it means to have a rich heart. I am deeply moved.Each dish is like a jewel, a side dish carefully arranged in a bowl.

I am not a vegan myself. However, I have recently been thinking that I don’t need to eat meat or fish every day. I really think about it these days.
Because I feel that “life” is something much more important and special.

Now, back to lunch.
By the way, it is hard to believe that all of these dishes are made from vegetables. The seasoning is not too light or too strong, but the flavor is still very good, which is the work of a professional.Now, back to lunch.

The owner-chef is my mentor.
Actually…
What I am trying to hide is that the chef who prepared this dish is my former teacher from my vocational school days!
Well then…. I’m borrowing this from the official Instagram of the store.
Chef Natsuyo is a 20-year veteran of the restaurant!
In addition to running the restaurant, he is a pioneer of vegan restaurants in Sapporo, teaching at schools, giving lectures, and developing recipes.
I have been hearing rumors about it for quite some time now.
However, I am ashamed to say that it is only in the past year or two that I have become interested in this kind of “food” ^^;
Now is not the time, This is how I came to visit the restaurant.
I hadn’t seen Natsuyo-san in probably 10 years…
She still has the same beauty and kind smile as the teacher she was when I was a student.
I guess that’s what “Holistic Bio Food” can do.
Sweets are also vegan and gluten-free
After having dessert, I turned my attention to the showcase at the entrance…

With the recent increase in the number of allergy-friendly restaurants, these sweets are available if you look for them.
But they are still few and far between.
If you see a cake like this here, you can’t help but bring it home (laughs).
Well, we asked the staff to take out the cake, and just as we were about to pay the bill…what a surprise!
A “surprise” was prepared for us…
It should not be on the menu, so I will omit the picture, but < br data-rich-text-line-break=”true”>We are very grateful for the time you took out of your busy schedule for our family, and it made us feel very warm.
Thank you for the food, Dr. Natsushiro!
Chef’s Lunch ¥2,750 (tax included) Jun. 2023
Excellent take-out banana cake.
When it comes to making vegan and gluten-free cakes, I think the tricky question is
“how to make it fluffy”
.
The general concept of sweets is that without eggs, a fluffy sponge would be impossible.
However, Natsudai-san is still wonderful for breaking through that concept and developing such a cake in such a brilliant way.
The sponge made with organic cocoa was light and had the perfect balance of bittersweet flavor and minimal sweetness.
And the caramel soymilk cream and banana were so well matched that I couldn’t stop holding my fork (lol).
I devoured one cut in no time.
in the end
The Holistic Bio Cafe Veggy Way, a pioneering vegan restaurant in Sapporo, is a very warm and welcoming place that satisfies both body and soul.
The menu is carefully prepared and served with a rich flavor that is sure to satisfy even non-vegans.
Whether you stop by alone on a whim or to celebrate an anniversary, we invite you to visit.
