Bowls # at Harajuku, Tokyo

Korean Greek yogurt bowls on Takeshita-dori with fresh fruit and gluten-free granola.

Bowls # is a Korean-style Greek yogurt specialist that opened on Harajuku's Takeshita-dori in May 2024. The shop serves thick, creamy Korean Greek yogurt, which is denser and richer than standard Greek yogurt, topped with fresh fruit, gluten-free granola made without refined sugar, honey poured straight from the pot, and over twenty other toppings. Acai bowls are also on offer, combining the signature yogurt with the popular superfood berry. Customers build their own bowls from the topping selection, with options ranging from sweet fruit and nutella to savoury avocado and prosciutto for those wanting a lighter meal. Takeaway is the primary format, making it ideal for a stroll down Takeshita-dori, and the Instagram-friendly presentation has made it a hit with younger visitors and cafe enthusiasts. The shop's Korean cafe aesthetic adds to its appeal as a trendy stop. For a healthy, photogenic treat that captures the Korean cafe wave hitting Harajuku, Bowls # is well worth the visit. Its combination of wholesome ingredients and playful customisation makes it a refreshing alternative to the street's sweeter offerings.
