Easy-on-the-body Lunches at “Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower”

“Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower” (豊洲ベイサイドクロスタワー), opened in the last April, is an annex of ‘LaLaport Toyosu’ (ららぽーと豊洲), a popular shopping complex in Koto City, the upcoming neighborhood in the bay area. Among many shops in various genres from the basement floor to the 4th floor, let us introduce the best eateries for foodies looking for meals that are a bit luxurious yet easy on the body. After enjoying shopping, why not spend a fancy lunchtime in the same building?

Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower is a 4-minute walk from Toyosu Station that is 4 stations away from Ariake Station, the closest one from Tokyo Bay Ariake Washington Hotel.

A wine bar “Fusami Shokudo” (ふさみ食堂) with the concept of fermented food and wine is managed by a brewer of ‘fukagawa winery TOKYO’ (深川ワイナリー東京), a winery in Monzen-nakacho, a neighboring area of Toyosu, and a senior sommelier of a specialty shop of fermented food and wine ‘İCHİMATSUya’ (市松屋) in Kiyosumi-shirakawa, another neighboring area of Toyosu. You’ll get to enjoy pairings of around 80 kinds of domestic and foreign wines and easy-on-the-body ingredients such as Miso, Koji (麹, malt made from malted rice) and vinegar. In particular, the lunch combo in which you can choose 3 side dishes made with fermented foods in addition to your choice of the main dish such as roast beef bowl prepared with red wine, should be heartier than you expected and good in value for money. Since various special events are held regularly, such as the collaboration with FELISSIMO’s cat-themed parlor that was held for 6 months from March 2021, check the latest information before visiting.

“WE ARE THE FARM” is a next-generation organic restaurant offering dishes made with true-bred vegetables that are pesticide-free, chemical fertilizer-free, and open-field cultivation grown at its own farm in Sakura City of Chiba Prefecture. In order to bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients, the daring to cook in simple ways attracts foodies wanting to taste vegetables naturally. If you can visit this place during lunchtime, the lunch plate which includes a salad buffet of fresh vegetables and iron-plate grilled vegetables is the one you definitely want to order. In addition to one main dish that you get to choose from several items such as gratin with chunky vegetables and cheese-grilled ‘Oyama Chicken’ (a region in Kanagawa Prefecture famous as a production area of high-quality chicken), you can enjoy the rich aroma and flavor of organically grown vegetables in season cooked carefully considering the characteristics of each ingredient. In case you are into the world of macrobiotic or vegan, this is the place to go in Tokyo.

How about an outdoor lunch at “Toyosu Gururi Park” (豊洲ぐるりパーク), enjoying the autumn gentle breeze and blue sky once you’ve found the favorite to-go meal or snack at ‘RF1’, or other delis on the basement floor of Toyosu Bayside Cross Tower? The spacious park full of greenery is right next to the tower and faces toward the sea. In addition to the park’s lawn square attracting families with kids, ‘Toyosu Style Market’ held on every 4th weekend at the event square, where you’ll find stalls selling handmade sweets and works, is also fun to explore. If you can spare some time at the park, have a leisurely walk on the 4.5 km-long paths surrounding the Toyosu Market. From the edge of Toyosu Wharf, you can enjoy the great view of the entire Rainbow Bridge.
