Sympathetic little restaurant

Really small but endearing restaurant with plenty of vegan options. The food was alright. The yakitori was really nice.

Tasty vegan yakitori!

After seeing all the chicken yakitori from the street vendors in Osaka, I was hoping to find a vegan version, and Aju has it! The yakitori comes with 5 skewers of different faux meats, all were super tasty and hit the spot. Very happy to dined here! There’s also a nice selection of cat statues, soy meats, and other things to buy near the entrance.

Pros: Lots of options, Authentic

My absolute favorite !!

One of the best in Osaka !! I knew he was re-opened the place but the owner was asking me to wait to post it on HappyCow he was concerned that since his place is so small he would not be able to handle many guests.. so here’s some of owner chef’s ONEGAI (request) 1. Please come up to 4 people (max.) 2. He speaks very little English so sometimes communication will be a bit difficult. Lunch time sells Bento Box you can eat it with an additional price with rice and vegan miso soup!
