Eating Out: Izakaya Midori

Last year a friend from Sydney was visiting Brisbane, and we planned on a little trip down to Izakaya Midori for a delicious Japanese lunch. I'd been down there once before, and was super eager to get back. Delicious vegan Japanese food? Yes please!

They have a selection of sushi rolls available for lunch, and we got the Veef Coriander (which is spicy, so my friend ate most of that) and Teriyaki Tofu.



I also enjoyed a Lychee Iced Tea, which was happily decaf as even tea caffeine makes me jittery. This was very yummy.



We shared everything, so we could maximise out eating experience. The DIY potato salad is fantastic. It comes as a cooked potato with mayo, sweet corn, onion, tomato, and curry powder. You smash it all up and mix it together with the wooden spoon. It is fun and tasty!





Nasu Miso Den (Eggplant Dengaku) seems to be a permanent addition to the specials board, and is always worth getting. It is SO GOOD! It came as always with the little yuzu spray to spritz on, which changes the flavour.



We also shared to of the lunch mains. The Japanese Curry Rice (with Karaage) was a delicious, mild Japanese curry sauce that I love. The Terichiki Don had some of the most delicious veganteriyaki chicken I've ever tried, and was served with rice and salad.





We finished by sharing some sweet Doriyaki, dense Japanese pancakes stuffed with a sweet red bean filling. These were very substantial, so I was glad we were sharing. But they were so good.



On the way home, we popped into Flour of Life, the vegan bakery, to pick up some treats. I got my favourite strawberry tart, and also a huge chocolate custard log. Unfortunately there was not much int he way of custard in the log, just air, so I won't be getting that again.
