This take out deli in Shibuya offers about a dozen 10 , plant-based dishes daily. The name Glean is a portmanteau of ‘clean’ and ‘green’, showing the company’s focus on sustainable food.
Everything here is vegan and you can combine one main, one side and one salad in a set from ¥1,240, which also includes a side of white or brown rice. You can upgrade to the four deli item lunch box (from ¥1,400) if you're especially hungry.
The selection of dishes changes monthly but some summer specialities include a fried tofu and pineapple stir fry with sweet and sour orange sauce, cauliflower-based mock chicken with spicy Korean sauce, baked potatoes with vegan mascarpone and a colourful roasted pumpkin salad. There’s no eat-in space, but there are parks nearby with plenty of space to picnic and eat on the grass.
