- Superb Casual Japanese Vegan Cuisine
Conveniently located near the main campus of Kyoto University. The daily menu comprises several creative vegan interpretations of customary Japanese preparations, including shokado bento. Everything is freshly made to order by the chef in an open kitchen. Proteins include tofu, leguminosae, gluten, and also they offer a great tempe, made by the redoubtable Rustono in Shiga Prefecture. A relaxed setting for delicious cruelty-free food, Padma easily ranks among the finest all-vegan Japanese restaurants in Kyoto, the rest of Japan, or anywhere in the world, and perhaps takes first place for a casual, unpretentious, and inexpensive meal. Very highly recommended. Currently (early 2015) Padma is open for lunch only.
