2. Yorozu Farm: A vegan restaurant where you can enjoy a meal with all your senses

Yorozu Farm operates a vegan restaurant on weekends only, using only vegetables that they have grown themselves, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and practicing circular agriculture, with the belief that safety is a given for the natural environment, living things, and people.

We provide meals that can be enjoyed with all five senses, using vegetables that are only available in season and are harvested from the farm right in front of you. We place importance on not only making the food delicious, but also ensuring that it has a positive effect.

This is the field of "Yorozu Farm." Eating a meal in a lush green space is sure to invigorate both the body and mind!

Check out our recommended menu!

・"Vegan curry"

A plate filled with plenty of fresh vegetables picked that morning. The special curry does not contain meat, but it is full of flavor and richness. You can also change it to grilled curry for an additional fee.

・"Yorozu Salad"

The salad, made with plenty of freshly picked vegetables, is a popular signature menu item that many customers order as takeout. Since you can eat seasonal vegetables at that time, it's fun to wonder, "What vegetable is this?" as you eat it.

・"Seasonal smoothie"

This smoothie is also recommended as a dessert after a meal. It is light and has a seasonal flavor that allows you to enjoy the umami of vegetables.

A word from the owner

"Since you've come all the way to Yamaguchi, why not try some locally grown vegetables and rice? We look forward to seeing you."

Yorozu Farm is impressive for the careful attention to detail that the owners, a husband and wife, pay to, from ingredients to seasonings.
Apparently, many customers come from far away after finding the restaurant on Instagram or Google Maps, and look forward to experiencing the changing flavors of the vegetables that change with the seasons.

In the future, they plan to start "Bean to Bar" where they will roast the cacao beans in-house and produce chocolate! Please stop by this restaurant where you can "experience deliciousness with all five senses"! If you're lucky, you might even meet a cute dog.
