A Sweet Lunch Set At New Basho On East Hastings

Portrait

basho

A visit to the brand new Basho Japanese cafe at 2007 East Hastings St. today saw a Veggie Lunch Set that blew our socks off. It included a cup of thick yam soup; a delicious, lightly dressed (tofu?) green salad with walnuts; a pickled vegetable, broccoli, cucumber, carrot, and avocado rice bowl; a steaming cup of light and simple green tea; and an assortment of matcha cookies. Not bad for  for $10.50! If this is the first time you’ve heard of this place, take a click here or browse through the gallery below.
