Greek Yogurt Recommendation Ranking

Greek yogurt," a health food, is now quietly booming in Tokyo. Its high nutritional value, high in protein and low in sugar, makes it popular among women on diets and men on muscle training regimens. In this issue, we will introduce the top 3 recommended Greek yogurt restaurants in Tokyo in a ranking format.

In addition, we will also thoroughly explain the "merits & demerits of Greek yogurt" that you should know before eating it!

4 Advantages of Greek Yogurt

  1. High protein, low fat, and diet-friendly
     Because the water content of Greek yogurt is cut off more thoroughly than that of regular yogurt, the amount of protein is about twice as much! Easy to feel full.
  2. Effective in improving the intestinal environment
     Rich in lactic acid bacteria, it is easy to improve intestinal flora. Good for women who hope to relieve constipation.
  3. Rich and tasty even without sugar
     Creamy texture due to the draining process. The sweetness of the ingredients is satisfying without the addition of sweeteners.
  4. Can be freely arranged for both sweets and meals
     Can be enjoyed as a dessert topped with honey and nuts, or as a dip with salt and olive oil.

Four disadvantages of Greek yogurt

  1. Slightly expensive
     The process requires a lot of ingredients because of the water that is discarded in the process. As a result, it is more expensive than regular yogurt.
  2. Sourness may be strong
     Natural type may be difficult to eat for those who do not like sour taste.
  3. Fat content is not zero.
     Low fat does not mean zero fat, so excessive consumption may cause calorie overload.
  4. May take time to digest
     Because of the high protein content, people with weak stomachs should try it in small quantities.

No. 3 A Greek yogurt specialty store that is very popular in Korea has landed in Japan.

Greekday

*Reopened for business in July 2025 (had been closed for a while but reopened!)

Greek Day, a Greek yogurt specialty store that boasts great popularity in Korea, will land in Omotesando, Tokyo, for the first time in Japan in 2024.
The stylish and sophisticated space is truly Omotesando's stylishness.
Currently closed temporarily (* reopening will be announced on Instagram), this much-talked-about store has many fans eagerly awaiting its reopening.

✔ Yogurt is served in a particular style with a choice of two types!

Greek Day features the following two styles of yogurt to choose from, depending on the texture and thickness:

  • Signature type
     → 85% water removed, thick and hard texture like cream cheese. Low acidity and excellent eating quality.
  • Light type
     Light type → 70% water removed, slightly thick and creamy in texture. Smooth to the palate with a refreshing aftertaste.

The lineup offers a high degree of flexibility, satisfying both "hard" and "soft" eaters.

🎤 Real food review: a wide variety of fruit and granola toppings, perfect for the health-conscious. Although healthy, the volume was solid and gave me a feeling of fullness despite the small size.
