BROOKS GREENLIT CAFE, a plant-based cafe operated by Oizumi Kojo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director: Kantaro Oizumi, hereinafter Oizumi Kojo), will launch 'THE GREENLIT SALAD', a new menu item that allows customers to 'enjoy the satisfaction of a rich dandan dish in a salad', starting Friday, April 17, 2026.
This product was developed with the aim of achieving both a light aftertaste and high satisfaction, overturning the conventional image that 'plant-based/healthy equals lacking flavor'. We combined the rich depth of black sesame with the fermented umami of miso and authentic mirin to create an original plant-based meat miso. Finally, by adding the 'tingling' stimulation of Sichuan peppercorns, we replicated the multi-layered aroma and depth characteristic of dandan cuisine, which represents Sichuan food.
Additionally, this product is an interactive menu item where the 'taste is completed by mixing'. By mixing the whole dish together, the richness of the dressing and the umami of the ingredients become one, allowing you to enjoy a change in flavor with every bite. Despite being rich, the aftertaste is light, proposing a new dining experience that balances the desire to 'eat heartily' with the desire to 'feel light'.
Furthermore, one of its features is the striking visual contrast of 'green' and 'black', which are the image colors of BROOKS GREENLIT CAFE. The name 'GREENLIT' embodies the desire to 'provide plant-derived ingredients that value the blessings of nature (GREEN) in a playful and sophisticated style (LIT)'. This product was born as a signature menu item that embodies this worldview.
