The cafe is quiet, and soothing Brazilian music fills people's ears

Although only 2 minutes from busy Harajuku Station, the street the cafe opens to is never overcrowded or too loud. Terrace seats are available too.

Besides offering food within the shop, Oriental Recipe Cafe also sells their original Chinese tea blends and organic wine and coffee.

The lunch set includes rice/bread and a salad bar with seasonal organic vegetables from all around Japan.

The bar is well stocked with many types of beer, including organic beer, ginger gin and moscow mule, seasonal fruit wine, and original sangria.

The Tofu and Soy Milk Gateau Chocolat is both aesthetically pleasing and delicious, and of course, healthy!
