Ottima cucina tradizionale giapponese

Tutto buonissimo. Diverse opzioni vegane disponibili: lo yuba don, la soba (sostituendo i gamberi con il tofu fritto), quasi tutti i contorni e quasi tutti i mochi tranne quelli alla banana e alla fragola.
Spesso inoltre nel fuori menù del giorno ci sono opzioni vegane, come il nasu don, la crema di porro, gli straccetti di seitan, la bistecca di tofu, ecc.

Just go!

I had the yuba-don, the lotus radish with carrots, the mochi and some cherry blossom sake, but there were a few other options (and I was told they generally have even more vegan options). Everything was delicious, both the vegan dishes and the meat ones, which my friend tried. The only think I didn't love were the mochis, but I'd never tried them before and couldn't compare; maybe they're just not my taste.
Plus, the lady waiting tables was really lovely. She explained which dishes were vegan or could be veganized and gave us an overview of the many types of sake they have. She also stopped for a chat with us.
The only kind of expensive thing was the sake, while the rest was cheap (and way cheaper than I expected), big portions and very tasty. You don't even pay for table service (which is usually a couple of euros per person in Italy). The place is nice, chill and cozy. Both my friend and I would totally go back and I wish I'd gone more often during my stay in Perugia.

Davvero squisito, autentica cucina giapponese

Davvero squisito, autentica cucina giapponese! Sono andata due volte nello stesso weekend a Perugia: un po’ complicata la comunicazione per prenotare o ordinare take away (ma più che ragionevole, data la qualità offerta!). Piatti autentici, saporiti ed equilibrati! Un viaggio in Giappone nel cuore di Perugia!

Eccezionale

Ho trovato il posto grazie alle tantissime recensioni positive online, e quindi ho voluto provare anche perché non mi sembrava il solito ristorante giapponese. Non è un ristorante interamente vegano, ma la proprietaria è super disponibile per accontentare tutti. In questo caso ho ordinato dei soba con tofu fritto e dei friggitelli e melanzane come contorno. Non posso che consigliare questo locale a tutti, se volete mangiare i veri piatti della tradizione giapponese.

Pros: Cibo, Proprietaria, Tradizionale

Authentic Japanese food

Cute little restaurant serving authentic Japanese food (not sushi) in Perugia's historic center. The owner was super friendly and knowledgeable about vegan options. I got the daily special, Nasu Don (eggplant and rice with a sweet and savory sauce), which was delicious. Very affordable, about 8 euros per dish.

Nice find in touristy Perugia

As the others have written, it's an actual Japanese restaurant, not a sushi-all-you-can-eat-thing. If you tell the owner you're veg, she'll tell you what she can do in addition to the couple of items on the menu. In my case there was also a daily dish that was vegan. In the end I took soba in vegan broth. Was good, can recommend. Also not expensive. It was a little bit sticky inside, and the outside looked completely occupied by some trattoria, not sure if they still have outside seating.

Pros: Knowledgeable owner, Actual Japanese

Best service and lovely food!

The food was delicious and and the owner is very kind. We didn't have a reservation but more vegan options can be arranged if you make one.

Giapponese con opzioni vegane

Consiglio il posto per la bontà del cibo (non avevo mai provato un giapponese che non proponesse il solito sushi) e per l'attenzione della proprietaria alla clientela veg* (ne sa e potete farvi consigliare). Da migliorare il locale interno, decisamente arrangiato. Se potete in estate prenotate un tavolo all'esterno, molto meglio.

Pros: Opzioni vegane, Attenzione del personale alla clientela veg*, Cibo molto buono

Cons: Locale interno molto arrangiato

friendly place!

The restaurant owner is very kind and if you ask in advance, she can make vegan "meatballs". There are some vegan options on the menu too.

Pros: nice vibe, friendly staff, very cheap

Authentic japanese restaurant with vegan options!

I couldn't believe to find a real japanese cuisine in a small town and with labelled vegan options! I recommened It to all the people who love japanese food and culture. The owner and the chef are japanese and the spot is also typical. We are Yuba-don (a particular kind of tofu) with eggplants and shiitake mushrooms, vegan soba with Deep fried tofu, green onions and wakame (ask if the broth Is vegan), lotus root with carrots and a delicious tofu salad. They also had chickpeas, broccoli and Bean sprouts with veggies. Everything delicious, the owner was kind and funny. Reservation is recommened. Ask the owner the vegan options, she tells you more stuff.

Pros: Authentic japanese, Vegan options, Good price and quality
