Our Head Chef Tomoko Tahara has been hard at work crafting a fully plant-based, Japanese-inspired menu to honour the heritage of our Japantown neighbourhood.
Each dish is driven by a farm to table approach, rooted in the dedicated research Tomoko performs to hone her skills. "My most recent exciting experience was last year's internship at Michelin star restaurant, Inua, in Tokyo. It inspired me on many levels. Everything is made from scratch, using local ingredients as much as possible."
Our food selections range from coffee or tea accompaniments such as our yuzu lemon loaf, to our signature TLT sandwich with tempeh bacon and Japanese ketchup.
As well, our Harken Breakfast will be available exclusively on weekends. Inspired by the morning meal of Buddhist Monks, this offering features modern flavours and cooking methods. This dish includes soup, rice, and five unique vegetable-based sides such as daikon slaw with house made mayo and creamy salted beets in plum sauce.
For parents, we are pleased to offer a kid's menu - which features our weekend Breakfast Box, inspired by the breakfasts and lunches eaten by schoolchildren in Japan. The full menu can be viewed here.
