Is it pronounced 'veggie' or 'veg'? Who knows! All i know is how grateful i am after stumbling across this cute little salad and smoothie bar on a long day walking around Shinjuku. Click below to find out more! Vege Stand is located on the basement floor (B1) of Shinjuku 0101 department store. I was actually heading for another vegan-friendly eatery not far from here named Parachutes (my next blog post!) when from the corner of my eye i noticed a colourful menu with an array of salads and small sandwiches and so i decided to take a quick peek. To my utter delight there are several salads and sandwiches that are clearly marked vegan and ALL THE SMOOTHIES ARE VEGAN TOO (yes i shouted that as i typed.... i'm excited, okay?) As you can see vegan options are clearly marked and easy to find and also look absolutely scrumptious! Not only that but they also stock HUMMUS (again, i'm excited) for you to take home and spread to your hearts content <3 It's to rare to find hummus in Japan so i'll definitely be going back to buy some (at the time i was carrying too much shopping and my fear of food leaking in my bag took over me) Nevertheless i ordered the 'Vitaminal' salad with vegan balsamic dressing along with an absolutely mind-blowingly yummy Cocao, nuts and banana smoothie. I took them both to Shinjuku Gyouen park and sat in the sun all smug with my healthy lunch. I was surprised by how big the salads actually are. I ordered an M size but even for Japan it was bigger than i expected and made for a filling and delicious lunch! I must say that there are only three vegan salad dressing options so I'd like to contact the company to see if they're interested in adding more vegan dressings to the menu (I've been back since and have been left slightly unsatisfied with the other two- Ricemalt and Salt and Pepper) So once i recieve a reply i'll post it here and see what they say! (: For Vege Stand, Shinjuku my ratings go as follows:
Atmosphere **** Food **** Value for money *** If you have any comments, suggestions or feedback please let me know by either commenting below or going to my contact page to find me on various forms of social media and what not (:
