Casual vegan cafe serving porridge, fermented vegetables, raw cakes, matcha, tea and coffee. Menu is healthy, mostly organic, and probiotic-focused. Located on the ground floor of a traditional Kyoto-style Machiya townhouse, with an event space for rent on the second floor. Has a small retail section offering hand-made hemp clothing, vegan-friendly goods, and Japanese interior items. The business concept is “Born on earth, return to earth.” Last cafe order is 5PM. NOTE: Reported that retail section is vegetarian and not vegan. Open Mon-Tue 12:00pm-6:00pm, Thu-Sun 12:00pm-6:00pm.

Savoury porridge is interesting but ultimately not for me - Edit
They have a set option for lunch. It was savoury porridge with some sides. I really enjoyed the tofu side. They were interesting and the vegetables and pickles were great too. The savoury porridge was nice to begin with, but I wasn’t enjoying it at the end. That is on me though, not the cafe. I wanted to try foods that I don’t eat in Melbourne. The staff were really nice.

Peaceful Oasis - Edit
After a busy walking day in Kyoto this place offers a tranquil atmosphere. The seating area is small and in the same room you’ll find a selection of eco clothing ( designed by one of the chefs ) and organic cosmetics. The set menu comes with a big bowl of savory rice porridge and lots of side dishes. It was just a perfectly soothing meal for body, mind and soul. The pomegranate kombucha was served on ice which made it so refreshing. To end we enjoyed a small plate of raw dessert which was neither too sweet nor too heavy. The kind ladies working the shop made us feel very welcome with their warm politeness. Loved the ethereal music.

Overall it was OK but we went to better places in Kyoto - Edit
I called in for lunch and tried their porridge set meal. I quite enjoyed the side dishes but wasn't overly keen on the actual savoury porridge dish. I tried one of their raw cakes and it was quite hard to eat as it was still frozen in the middle.

Japanese traditional food at its best!🌱 - Edit
I am a big fan of Shojin Ryori so I was curious when I saw it as NEW place on the map.
Read moreUnique flavours you can’t find anywhere else.
I wish there would be more vegan places like this which make authentic healthy Japanese cuisine!!
The staff was very friendly, explained the dishes and even presented me an organic mandarine!
The shop sells a lot of eco friendly products and clothing as well. And they play very chill meditative music, so you get a body and mind experience!

There is only one meal option available - porridge and vegetables for 1500 yen. It was very good! The staff was kind and helped explain what we were eating. They also sell beauty supplies and gift items.
