Plenty of vegetables! Lunch Box

　The contents of the "Lunch Box," like the "Vegetable Lunch," change daily! The vegetables are prepared by consulting with all the employees, who look at the vegetables that arrive each morning and combine cooking methods and seasonings. The vegetables used are grown naturally as much as possible, and are selected from farmers who do not fight against nature, but rather grow them in a way that is close to nature. In addition, they adjust the amount of water in the vegetables during cooking to lock in the umami. Some menus use about 20 kinds of vegetables, and salads alone contain more than 5 kinds of vegetables.

　When you actually try it, you will find that various kinds of vegetables keep coming out from the inside, making you wonder "What will come out next? I felt like I was on a treasure hunt, and the texture and gentle seasoning that fully utilizes the ingredients of the vegetables accentuated their deliciousness! The volume of the dish is generous and satisfying! It is so appealing to be able to satisfy both your stomach and your mind with a variety of nutritious vegetables! The colorful "Lunch Box" looks great on SNS thanks to the wide variety of vegetables arranged on it!
The daily special "Lunch Box" is an exciting way to find out what kind of vegetables are in it.

The reason for the opening of Guruatsu Guruatsu

　When we asked the owner, Mr. Yonekawa, about his thoughts behind opening the restaurant, he said that he started making the food himself because he thought, "It would be great if I could have a meal outside that is healthy for my body," and "I would be happy if I could fill my stomach with vegetables. The "Lunch Box," which is made with the finest ingredients, is based on the strong desire of the restaurant staff to "make customers enjoy eating a variety of vegetables even more!

　Among the 15 to 20 varieties on the menu, the "Maple Banana" muffin is the most popular. It is filled with maple syrup and mashed ripe bananas, and is said to be a firm favorite. The most popular scone is the fig and walnut scone. The muffin and scone menu also changes depending on the availability, so you will have to wait until you visit to find out what flavors you will encounter.
