Fresh and tasty - Edit
The vegetables were delicious and picked that morning by the farmer who runs the restaurant. It was delicious and a great first meal in Takayama. Chef was very friendly. Place was cute.

Meh, expensive, not many options around - Edit
Curry is average for 1600 yen and you have to pay for obligatory appetizer 500 yen even if u don't want it. Really small place, 4 places counter. Owner is nice though and food supposed to be organic.

If you could only go to 1 restaurant, go here!!! - Edit
Authentic Takayama-Hida cuisine - the owner has so much passion for food and delivering an exceptional service to his customers: he owns his own organic farm and everything put on the table is grown and cooked by him!! Really intimate setting (seats maybe 4-5 people). Vegetarian food on menu, vegan on demand. Honestly best food we’ve had in japan. Also, try the sake testing! Sooo worth it.
Read morePros: Incredible food, Absolutely amazing owner, Intimate dining experience
Cons: More pricey than other places BUT so worth it!!!!

Phenomenal - Edit
Definitely 5 stars. Best meal we had in Japan. Seasonal menu. He had one vegan option - Japanese curry- but it was mind blowing. The owner is lovely and dedicated to his craft. He is happy to chat about specifics of growing produce in his farm to cooking techniques and Japanese home style cooking. The quality of food was exceptional and in a very intimate setting (small bar with room for about 5 people). Also, get the sake flight- you won’t regret it! Just go!
Read morePros: Exceptional food, Passionate owner , More than just another meal - it’s an experience!

Would have given it 5* if the site would let me - Edit
Seriously fantastic fully organic place, the owner is so welcoming. He owns a farm in takayama - all produce is sourced (as much as seasonally possible) from his own farm. Only seats 5 guests at a time - be prepared to have a chat with fellow diners and the lovely owner. Must visit in takayama

很有氣氛的一家店～ - Edit
我覺得很好吃，我點了豆腐排跟咖哩飯。兩個比起來我比較喜歡「咖哩飯」，第一吃在日本吃到咖哩，覺得特別，蔬菜像地瓜跟南瓜有烤過，蓮藕用炸的很脆，沒想到在咖哩裡這麼好吃。
Read more「豆腐排」比較台灣味，醬汁應該是照燒醬，甜甜鹹鹹，加上老闆自己生菜，完美。白米飯有點驚人的好吃，好到難形容的好吃，不管是口感跟味道，跟台灣的米差非常多。
餐點有附前菜 #日本文化
店裡氣氛很好，很容易聊起天來。建議來吃

Delicious! - Edit
Not only the food but also the owner, we really appreciated his passion and his warmth, he cares about his guests and about life on earth! Even though we found only one vegan option it was absolutely one of the best thing we have ever eaten. Definitely 5 stars!

It was okay - Edit
Indeed a small and cozy place, with about 5 seats and near the station. They had two vegetarian options, the vegetarian plate or curry. The curry I chose was flavourful, but I expected more vegetables, as on their own posted pictures. Because of allergies, I would have appreciated more specific information about the used ingredients when asked.
Read moreIn contrast to other reviews, the vibe was rushed, we didn’t see the owner/cook much untill we suddenly had to pay after our last bite. Price-quality ratio could be better. We consumed 1 curry, 1 burger, 1 kettle with two teacups which amounted to about ¥4400.
We really looked forward to eating here but unfortunately left somewhat dissapointed. Hopefully others will have a better experience because of our feedback :)
Pros: Cute and cozy, Good location
Cons: Pricey for what you get, Rushed vibe

Lovely warm vegetarian place - Edit
The owner actually produces all the veggies himself and cooks as well. If you are travelling to takayama, you should definitely try thier vegetarian curry. Superb banana bread too.. you will be happy not with only with the warm food but also by hosts' warmth.. Highly recommend for people from indian sub continent who have been missing spicy

Tasty Home-cooked Meal - Edit
Felt lucky to have found this restaurant in the small town of Takayama. Good portions, tasty and hot when served cause they cook on order. They only had curry when we went but they have some options. Desserts available. Small place, around 5-6 seats on the bar, but that's what gives this place a good homey feel. The staff is a friendly lady who spoke good English so she was able to not only cook for us a good hearty meal but also give good activity recommendations.
Read morePros: home-cooked food, home-made desserts
Cons: a bit pricey
