• Chinese vegetarian cuisine, with a Japanese touch

This restaurant is located in a "Chinatown" on the 7th floor of a department store, in the furthest corner away from the escalators. The name is written in romaji, making it easy to spot. There are two menus, one bilingual and one in Japanese only, and it's the Japanese language one which includes the set menus, fortunately all illustrated with photographs. They will ask you if you want brown or white rice with it, and if you forget the Japanese for brown rice (as I did) they default to white. My set meal included a wonton soup, rice with fake meat on top, pumpkin tempura, stir fried greens, pickles and one or two other bits and pieces. It was all arranged on a tray, Japanese style, and there was obvious Japanese influence in the dishes too. Tea came free. Apart from a few dishes containing dairy (which were obvious) and honey (desserts?), the entire menu is vegan. The prevalence of fake meat, typical of Chinese vegetarian cuisine, kept my (omni) partner happy. I'm planning a trip to Nagoya, and will be happy to eat at their other branch in that city.
