Continuing from yesterday, I locked onto a salad bowl specialty shop! Today, I visited WithGreen on the B2F of Otemachi Building. I ordered a salad bowl with steamed chicken and apples, paired with the recommended "citrus" dressing, in a size S. The S size was just right in terms of volume. The acidity of the citrus and the sweetness of the apples and sweet potatoes were well balanced, and the steamed chicken was refreshing.

I purchased a salad bowl from "With Green," a salad bowl specialty shop on the B2F of Otemachi Building. I had always seen Otemachi ladies lining up to buy lunch there, but I had never felt inclined to do so myself, thinking, "Can a salad bowl alone fill up a man's stomach?" Today, feeling like having a healthy lunch, I decided to give it a try. There are 9 menu options with photos, including various toppings like herb chicken, gizzards, red chili chicken, steamed chicken, minced chicken keema curry, ban ban ji, and low-temperature roasted pork. Among them, there are 3 options with brown rice. I chose the "Domestic Chicken Minced Chicken Keema Curry Salad M 1,220 yen" with brown rice. It includes onions, apples, carrots, brown rice, and keema curry on top of the salad. You can also choose the dressing, and I went with the recommended honey milk. The staff asked if they could mix it for me, and I agreed without knowing what that meant. They mixed it in a stainless steel bowl and put it in a round paper case. The keema curry is placed on top of the vegetables, and they also included a small piece of bread on the side. However, everything is quite pricey. Each item costs over 1,000 yen. The Otemachi ladies queuing up all seem to have the budget for it, or maybe they are just health-conscious (laughs). When I opened the lid of the salad bowl, a pleasant aroma of keema curry wafted out. It was already mixed, so I could eat it with a fork right away. The feeling of eating a lot of vegetables was quite satisfying. There was a small amount of brown rice mixed in as well. I enjoyed it while mixing in the keema curry.

I found a great deal on a set while on my way to Withgreen's Crisp Salad Works in the basement of the Otemachi Building. Normally, you order and they make it for you, but you can buy a pre-made one for almost 200 yen cheaper, and it even comes with bread! It's a good deal! So I decided to give it a try. The set I got was the Herb Chicken and Colorful Vegetable Salad for 1000 yen. It's their most popular item. It comes with a rich Honey Milk dressing and herb chicken. The salad includes corn, cucumber, onion, tomato, herb chicken, and mixed greens. It's delicious, but the ingredients are pretty standard so it feels like something I could make at home... Of course, it's convenient for a business lunch or takeout, but I prefer the special feeling and higher quality of Crisp Salad Works.

The price is 1000 yen, sometimes more, but it's really worth it. The salad is packed with plenty of vegetables, so much so that you might eat too much and hurt your teeth. It fills you up and leaves you feeling healthy. There is also a wide variety of salads to choose from.

It is located in the middle of Otemachi Building B2. With the increasing health-conscious trend, there are more takeout salad shops like this nowadays. I think you can customize your order, but I chose a salad with my favorite cilantro as the main ingredient from the set menu. The combination of spicy chicken and lemon dressing was really good. It was also nice that a small slice of bread came as a service. Thank you for the meal!

In the office buildings in Otemachi, there are salad bowl shops scattered around, almost one in each building. During lunchtime, all the shops have long lines. The area is full of health-conscious office workers, both men and women. My recent favorite salad bowl spot is here! Each salad bowl comes with delicious meat such as chicken breast, herb chicken, beef, or pork, allowing you to enjoy a satisfying salad. My current favorite is the seasonal limited edition Szechuan-style spicy minced meat and ancient lotus root salad. Prices range from ¥1,170 to ¥1,320, with options to customize toppings like ancient lotus root, sweet potato, brown rice, tomato, or Szechuan-style spicy minced meat. I like to swap out the carbs for more vegetables, like brown rice and bean sprouts with salted koji shimeji. The crunchy lotus root and spicy minced meat go perfectly together. You also get free bread with your salad, and additional toppings are available for an extra charge.

Chain salad specialty store. This area seems to have a lot of health-conscious office workers, so it's a very popular spot. Among the various salad specialty stores, this one offers a good balance of taste and cost, making it more than enough for a weekday lunch. It helps to shake off the afternoon sleepiness, sluggishness, and low blood sugar in the evening. They mix the dressing for you, making it easy to eat. The salads have large ingredients, providing a satisfying feeling, and you can enjoy various flavors. There are also many salads with brown rice, so you can feel full. Prices range from around 1,000 to 1,300 yen.
