Brown Rice Cafe, a quiet oasis near Omotesando Station

A few minutes' walk from Omotesando Station, the Neal's Yard Brown Rice Cafe is located in a quiet area off a busy street.
Produced by Neal's Yard Remedies, an organic brand from the U.K., the space is made of natural ingredients and the menu is gentle on the body.

I visited around 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. There was no waiting time and I was able to smoothly enter the restaurant. It is a "hole-in-the-wall" cafe for those in the know.

Blissful tea time with tofu cheesecake and "SOS" tea

I ordered a tofu cheesecake and the strikingly named "SOS " tea.

Healthy yet satisfying. The appeal of tofu cheesecake

Some people may think that "tofu cheesecake" tastes bland. Some may think it tastes bland. However, the tofu cheesecake at Neal's Yard Brown Rice Cafe exceeded my expectations.

The first thing that surprised me was its moist and smooth texture. It has the smoothness of silken tofu, but with the richness and flavor of a solid cheesecake. The richness of the cheesecake is expressed with soy-based ingredients, without using cream cheese, yet it is still very satisfying.

The sweetness is moderate and natural. It is probably made with healthier sweeteners such as maple syrup and beet sugar. The moist base crust portion has a savory, zesty texture, as if made with nuts, whole grains, or oatmeal, and is accented with a crunchy texture.

While completely vegan and free of dairy and eggs, it is as satisfying as a real baked cheesecake. It is a "gentle yet authentic" product that is great for those who avoid animal products or have allergies.

What is "SOS," a fantastic herbal blend?

SOS" is Neal's Yard's original herbal tea, a blend recommended when you feel stressed or tired.
Also said to stand for "Save Our Souls," it is a blend of herbs chosen to balance the body and mind.

The blend includes the following herbs

Lemon Balm (relaxing)
Chamomile (for restful sleep and digestion)
Rose hips (rich in vitamin C)
Peppermint (refreshing)
Lavender (relaxing scent)

The aroma is gently floral, the taste is soft, and the blend is somehow warming. Caffeine-free, it is perfect for a calming tea time.
