Exciting Announcement: AQUAMO Salad Opening Soon in Toranomon!

In a fresh take on sustainable dining, AQUAMO Salad, a new salad bowl restaurant, is set to open its doors in February 2026 in Toranomon, Tokyo. Founded by Akponi Co., Ltd., which focuses on innovative business collaboration leveraging aquaponics, this new venture promises to introduce a farm-to-table experience that emphasizes the joys of freshly harvested vegetables.

Understanding Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a unique agricultural method that combines aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water) to create a self-sustaining ecosystem. In this environment, fish waste provides organic nutrients for the plants, while the plants filter the water for the fish, illustrating nature’s efficient circular economy. This method minimizes the need for pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, allowing healthy vegetables and fish to thrive, embodying sustainable agricultural practices that benefit both consumers and the environment.

The Vision Behind AQUAMO Salad

AQUAMO Salad aims to connect consumers directly with the beauty and benefits of aquaponics. The restaurant will serve a range of salads primarily made with vegetables grown at their own farms or partner farms in Kanagawa, offering a clear 'Farm to Table' promise. This first shop will not only focus on takeout and delivery but will also provide a unique lunch delivery service, OFFICE DELIVERY, intended to promote corporate sustainability and employee health.

The concept took root in Fujisawa City, where many visitors come to experience the vibrant, freshly harvested produce. "How can we share this rich experience with more people?" was the question that sparked the idea for AQUAMO Salad.

What to Expect at AQUAMO Salad

AQUAMO Salad is committed to delivering a wholesome meal that nourishes both the body and soul. Here’s a glimpse into what makes this salad shop unique:

1. Fresh Aquaponics Vegetables: The salads will primarily feature aquaponics-grown vegetables, ensuring the freshest and most flavorful options available. Every ingredient will be sourced locally, along with seasonal specialties that celebrate regional produce.

2. Visible Local Sourcing: AQUAMO Salad is dedicated to ingredient transparency. Patrons can expect salads made from produce that’s grown as close as possible to the restaurant while respecting natural ecosystems.

3. Beyond Simply Eating: It’s not just about consuming the food; guests will be immersed in the philosophy of sustainability. AQUAMO will host farm tours, cooking classes, and engaging events to enrich the overall dining experience, making healthy living accessible and enjoyable.

Menu Highlights

AQUAMO Salad will introduce a diverse menu, including:

• - Grilled Salmon Herb Salad: Featuring tender salmon raised in pure water, paired with a bed of three types of aquaponics lettuce and a vibrant mix of seasonal vegetables, topped with a homemade roasted onion and dill dressing.
• - AQUAMO Green Salad: A refreshing plant-based salad made with a variety of aquaponics greens, inspired by local flavors.
