GONNA DAYS Pop-Up: Farm-Grown Salads in Ueno

Curator’s Note: This pop-up presents an opportunity to experience vegetables cultivated right here in Japan. Given that this marks their third appearance, it suggests a certain consistency in their quality. For those interested in appreciating the nuanced flavors of Japanese-grown produce, especially within a culture that has long valued plant-based ingredients, this event warrants attention.

GONNA DAYS, a specialist in salads and delicatessen items, is scheduled to make its third appearance at the Matsuzakaya Ueno store. This particular pop-up, set to run from March 11th to March 17th, 2026, within the B1F Hoppe Town event space, offers a chance to experience their distinct approach to fresh produce.

The core of GONNA DAYS’ offering lies in the Western vegetables cultivated at their dedicated farm, ‘Mr. Vege Robe’, located in Sammu City, Chiba Prefecture. Here, a team of dedicated staff is said to meticulously cultivate vegetables by hand, with an aim towards fostering an organic-focused environment. This commitment to sourcing directly from their own land underpins their philosophy as an inner beauty brand, focusing on health and well-being from within.

Visitors to the Ueno pop-up can expect a selection of items that reflect this ethos, including several signature salads. Among those listed are the ‘Avocado and Grilled Chicken Mexican Salad with Cajun Spicy Dressing’, and the ‘10-Vegetable Volume Salad with Japanese Nori Dressing’. Further options are said to include a ‘Teriyaki Chicken and 3-Deli Japanese Salad with Sesame Miso Yogurt Dressing’ and a ‘Mackerel and Citrus Herb Mediterranean Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing’. For those seeking lighter options, a ‘Kale and Quinoa Veggie Salad’ is also expected to be available. These offerings, which also feature prominently at their permanent Tokyu Kichijoji store, showcase a diverse range of flavors.

Beyond the prepared dishes, the pop-up is also anticipated to offer a limited quantity of fresh Western vegetables directly from the ‘Mr. Vege Robe’ farm for purchase. This direct access to the raw ingredients provides a tangible connection to the produce that forms the foundation of GONNA DAYS’ culinary vision.
