MIMARU announced a card called FOOD SAFE PASS with Kyocera's matoil service in March 2026. It combines an allergen checklist with a QR link to information about Japanese food labels.

Before you go

For a family managing allergies alongside religious dietary needs, the card may help start a more specific conversation at a restaurant. It is not evidence that a dish is halal or suitable for an individual allergy. Explain those requirements separately and ask staff what they can accommodate. Before your stay, ask your MIMARU property whether the card is available and what language support it provides.

The current Sweet Farm description mentions roasted tofu, apple, raisins and celery. An older official Q&A discussed a vegan Earthy Nutty Crunchy salad, but that name was not in the current catalog we reviewed. We therefore do not carry its vegan claim onto Sweet Farm.

WithGreen: vegetables, dressing and the complete salad bowl

The current menu’s all-vegetable bowl lists vegetables such as carrot, daikon, tomato and cabbage, with a recommended lemon dressing. This list does not settle every seasoning or dressing ingredient. The site asks customers to discuss honey and allergens with staff.
