Ginza KARACU - Organic Cafe

Ginza KARACU was opened in corroboration between French restaurant "L'Alliance" in Kagurazaka and ecological fashion brand "genten". I bumped into with my ex-colleague in Ginza on the other day and then, she took me to this healthy cafe which offers brown rice cakes, brown rice coffee, organic earl grey tea, sweets made from brown rice and so on. Actually I found a secret admirer of "organic" here. That's her!

South African herbal rooibos tea is already popular in Japan for caffeine-free and contained high level of polyphenol that is believed to be effective in preventing cancer. I wavered between organic earl grey or rooibos tea. 



Pumpkin orange souffle is the speciality of desserts in KARACU. The deserts are good, however, we can also enjoy the healthy lunch, such as sandwiches using brown rice bread, rice gratin made by stone oven and so on. It's located just next to Ginza Matsuya dept. store which has an easy access from anywhere. If you get tired to walk around for shopping in Ginza, you should try this cafe for a lunch or a tea break.
