What is a bean smoothie made by a nutritionist! Delicious and easy bean power recharge!
Hokkaido is known as the "Kingdom of Beans," boasting the nation's largest acreage of a variety of beans. However, there may be many Hokkaido-area residents who do not like beans or do not know how to cook them. Then, I would like you to know about a restaurant called "Mame Kitchen Maruyama" (hereafter referred to as "Mame Kitchen"). It may change your concept of beans!
Mame Kitchen is a restaurant specializing in bean dishes, mainly for take-out and delivery. Located in the Maruyama area of Chuo-ku, Sapporo, its cute appearance has already overturned the image of beans.
The owner is Madoka Taniguchi, who is also a nutritionist. Her experience in promoting beans in Honbetsu Town, known as "the best bean town in Japan," led her to open Mame Kitchen so that people can enjoy bean dishes more easily and on a continuous basis.
Mame Kitchen offers a variety of bean dishes, but it is the smoothies that stand out! It is a bit surprising that beans can be transformed into smoothies, isn't it?
When Taniguchi-san was preparing to open the restaurant, he made prototypes of all kinds of bean dishes and posted them on social media, and the smoothies were particularly popular with his followers. He matched all kinds of fruits and beans, and the best combination is sold as a smoothie.
They have a whopping 50 grams of beans in each cup! They are nutritious, filling, and of course delicious. ...... In other words, they kill three birds with one stone.
Popular for mornings and lunches are the onigiri (rice ball) with soybean rice and a vegetable miso soup set. Two types of onigiri are available daily, each using Furano's Natsuboshi rice balls in Japanese and Western arrangements.
The miso soup is made with black soybean miso and barley miso, and the type of soup stock is also changed daily. The miso soup is delicious, and you can feel your body's delight just by eating it.
Now, many people think of chili beans when they think of a typical Western-style bean dish. At Mame Kitchen, you can choose between ground pork or soybean meat, and bread or rice. Depending on your mood, you may want to try either one. By the way, although it is mainly a take-out restaurant, there is also a small eat-in space in the store.
Anyway, once you try it, you will definitely open your eyes to the deliciousness of beans. Both the bean smoothies and the bean rice balls have been well received, and it is no wonder that the number of repeat customers is increasing rapidly.
You can check the daily changing menu such as onigiri and miso soup on the restaurant's Instagram and Facebook pages. Please check it out and visit us. Your image of beans will change!
