OVERVIEW

KO-SO CAFE BIORISE is a certified vegan and halal-friendly café centrally located in Ebisu, Shibuya-ku—about a 4-minute walk from Ebisu Station (address: 3-25-3 Higashi, Lions Plaza Ebisu 1F, Tokyo 150-0011, Japan). Open for lunch, café, and dinner sessions (closed Wednesdays), it embraces the philosophy of “beauty from within” through enzyme-rich, organic cuisine at accessible times.

THE RESTAURANT

Founded in 2013, KO‑SO CAFE is known for its enzyme-focused menu using no animal-derived ingredients, refined sugar, or chemical seasonings. Their dishes often feature fermented enzyme stock and paste made from 88 selected ingredients, resulting in creative vegan fare like enzyme‑driven curries, gluten‑free pizzas, and brown rice pancakes. The interior balances natural tones with a modern café feel and is recognized for its relaxing and welcoming space.

DINING & RECOMMENDATIONS

KO‑SO CAFE’s must-try items include their Deluxe Brown Pancakes, made with roasted brown rice and buckwheat flour and crowned with soy milk whipped cream—chewy, fluffy, and light. They also excel at vegan Chinese-style fried chicken, taco rice, risotto, gluten-free pizzas, and vibrant plant-based sweets and parfaits. Drinks are equally thoughtful—try their fermented smoothies or roasted brown rice tea to complement your meal.
