You’ve earned your Vancouver stripes by consuming more raw fish than a harbour seal. But is your sushi habit at odds with your commitment to living a healthy, environmentally friendly lifestyle?

Shizen Ya to the rescue.

The Shizen Ya menu is packed with vegetarian, organic and Ocean Wise options. What you won’t find are items laced with MSG or additives.

With the green, green-light, you’re free to browse the menu with a clear conscience. Start with some  organic edamame, move on to the organic vegetable and succulent chicken breast gyoza and polish off the meal with the Natural Bomber sushi roll—a whole wheat tempura tiger prawn, fresh local crab, organic greens, avocado, and cucumber wrapped in brown rice.   

Feel like noodles?  You can’t beat the pan fried organic vegetable Udon soup with organic Miso. Want something as unique as you? Try their organic quinoa and vegetable cone or the quinoa inari.

You can wash it all down with some organic sake, organic beer or some stomach soothing organic dandelion tea. And why not top the meal off with something sweet like a Green Tea Tofu Cookie.

One roll in their sushi haven and they’ll have your seal of approval.
