Daigahara-cho in Hokuto City is still dotted with old private houses and storehouses. Koma, a delicatessen cafe filled with new charm, opened on February 2024, 2 in this atmospheric townscape.

The space has a neat and clean feel, and there are three tables made of fine single-paneled zelkova, each with a different wood texture and expression.
The annual rings of the keyaki tree, which is over 100 years old, sometimes form a large, loose arc, and sometimes are slightly distorted. This is also proof that the trees were able to survive the threats of nature and live strong lives.

``I want you to fully enjoy the rich natural blessings of Hokuto City,'' is Chef Ayako Ono's desire to create ``delicious dishes (delicatessen)'' made mainly with soybean meat and organic vegetables. Since opening, it has been so popular that it fills up quickly as soon as it opens.

After deciding on a seat, I went to the counter to choose a menu. Water, cutlery, etc. are self-service, and you pay in bulk after your meal.
Enjoy the ``Deli Plate,'' which allows you to choose a main deli dish and a salad deli item and make it into one plate. Seasonal soup and coffee are also available on the side menu.

I selected "Chinese cabbage Baharat stew" from the soybean meat main deli. The salad deli has three types: Savoy cabbage and red radish with yuzu dressing slaw, chickpea hummus, baby carrots, arugula, and almond pomegranate sauce.

Today's soup is lentil cumin soup. You can feel the depth of the beans in the slightly exotic flavor.
The deli uses plenty of Middle Eastern spices and has a fresh taste that you don't often find in Japan! The fruity and sweet pomegranate nectar intersects with the natural sweetness of chunky mini carrots, and the rich hummus has a smoky flavor with black chili pepper called Urfa chili, and is topped with Jerusalem artichoke chips from their own farm!

A spicy stew made with lots of spices and garlic. Soft soybean meat with concentrated flavor will show you the pleasure of eating it and the potential of the ingredients. Soybean meat can also be purchased in-store.

Furthermore, with "green coffee" extracted from unroasted green beans that do not use pesticides, you can take care of aging from the inside of your body. The bitterness is mild and you can easily enjoy it like a herbal tea.
You will be impressed by the delicious taste of soybean meat, which is rich in protein and dietary fiber, and you will be energized by the colorful and flavorful organic vegetables, and experience the true richness of eating...this is a one-of-a-kind place. , Healing for yourself♪
