D.I.Y. Salad and Delicatessen is a customisable salad and deli counter located in the basement second floor of Lumine 1 Shinjuku at 1-1-5 Nishi-Shinjuku, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station. Operated by the Cardenas group, which also runs the MOKUOLA Hawaiian diner brand, the shop is positioned as a vegetable-forward dining option for health-conscious commuters and office workers in the Shinjuku area. Its location in the Lumine 1 basement food hall places it among one of Tokyo's busiest transit-connected shopping zones.True to its name, the shop offers a fully customisable salad experience where customers select their base, mains and side dishes from a daily-changing display. The standard format allows one main and two sides alongside a chopped salad, priced at 1,780 yen, with options including grilled chicken, hamburg steak, avocado dishes, ratatouille, marinated sweet potato and chopped vegetable salads. A range of house-made dressings is available, and a morning menu from 8:00 to 11:00 offers breakfast items including onigiri and salads for early commuters. The emphasis on fresh, vegetable-heavy dishes makes it one of the lighter dining options in the Lumine complex, where many alternatives are heavier or fried.
The shop is open daily from 8:00 to 22:00, with last orders at 21:30, making it suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Its direct connection to Shinjuku Station via the underground passage network means it is accessible without surfacing, a major advantage during Tokyo's rainy season and winter. Lunch hours between 12:00 and 13:30 on weekdays are particularly busy with office workers, and the customisable format means queues can move more slowly than at fixed-menu counters, so visitors with time constraints should consider visiting outside the noon rush.

Reviewer K
They have a variety of fresh salad menus and it took a long time to choose one. This time I chose Recovery honey and cream cheese. Sweet potato, potato, nuts, raisin, apple, tomato, radish, honey are in the salad. All ingredients balance well and volume size is satisfying.
Reviewer SD
Fresh and tasty vegan salad Asian Detox, big enough. Stools only, space under the tables to put small bags. OK for 1-2 persons, not groups. Avoid with kids or a cane.
Reviewer CI
A positive surprise! I have had a lot of carbs during my stay in Tokyo, looking for a low carb option to give the stomach a little break, and we found this place. You may DIY or take the set menu. Food is excellent but there are not many seats available.
Reviewer AG
Great salad place for a hearty meal. We tried their avocado salmon and anti-aging half n half and low carb chicken salad. They served salads with broth which was quite novel. Loved the small seating arrangement and neat service. Please give it a try if you are craving for good salads.
