SCENE: Located in an unlikely modern space off downtown’s Crocker Galleria, this sun-drenched, Zen-inspired Japanese eatery is lined with long communal wooden tables filled with Union Square shoppers indulging their healthy side.
EATS: Medicine does Japanese in its simplest form: Serving its own version of Shojin food, it offers such delicacies as house-made tofu (including a silky variation made from sesame seeds) and vegetarian nigiri that look as pretty as they are pure. For dessert, the chilled coconut soup, afloat with slippery cubes of kanten and topped with nutty buckwheat seeds, is surprisingly delicious.
