Chopped salad specialists expand in Tokyo

Crisp Salad Works brings the New York trend of chopped salads to Tokyo's Daikanyama, at their fourth branch in a fast-growing chain brought to the capital by serial restaurateur Roy Miyano – of Tex-Mex specialists Frijole fame.

A total of six signature salads kick off the Greens menu, ranging from the Cal-Mex (¥1,260) to the Classic Chicken Caesar (¥1,060), as well as the Farm Bowl and Maverick – rice and multi-grain based concoctions. The ingredient list for each item is as impressive as it is healthy , with the Cal-Mex's romaine lettuce, spinach, grilled chicken, avocado, tomato, red onion, home made croutons and mexican honey vinaigrette a real standout.
