Friendly Owners - Edit
We thoroughly enjoyed our vegan meals. Each dish was made with loving care. The husband and wife team were very friendly. It’s a small operation and they can only handle a limited number of diners so you should make a reservation.

What an amazing place - Edit
Friendliest restaurant I've ever been to. Lots of delicious veggie and vegan options, including vegetarian set meals for 1 or 2. I'm sure they'd be happy to accommodate any special requests too, as they both speak great English and the food is cooked to order in front of you.

Best Vegan Meal in Japan! - Edit
This was the best meal we have had in Japan! The husband & wife team spoke excellent English and specialized the meal to include our favorite vegetables! We had the Vegan Set - the appetizer, soup, dumplings and main course were all fantastic! We even had vegan black sesame pudding for dessert! Amazing!! There is a large section for vegan dishes on the menu and the atmosphere is cozy. Prices are reasonable. Definitely make a reservation!

Best vegan meal in Japan! - Edit
I don’t usually leave a review but this place was compelled to do so. Run by a husband and wife team, the restaurant is small, exudes warmth and pride. Both speak English very well and understand veganism. We had a vegetarian set meal which was veganised and oh my, it was the tastiest meal we’ve had in Japan and believe you me, we are eating our way across Japan. From the delicious appetisers to even the soup and mains, which was to die for. We were there at 6pm on a Saturday night and got a table, did see and hear others being turned away later. So either arrive as close as possible to opening time (5.30pm) or call ahead and make a reservation.

Best Japanese food in Japan - Edit
We have been 3 weeks travelling around Japan, and this is the best Japanese restaurant we found. Everything was perfect: the food, the owners, the price... not all the menu is vegan but there are many choices and they can speak English helping you with any ingredient or allergy. They were so kind with us, so helpful... and really the food was amazing. The ramen and the gyoza were the best we had ever. This is a 5 stars restaurant and I really recommend you to try it. Please be aware that the restaurant is little and is usually fully booked. So take a reservation or go really early. Mario y Aina.

Amazing food and lovely staff - Edit
Such a lovely cosy little place, the staff are so kind and welcoming. They have a very good understanding of veganism and will assure you that there are no animal products in your meal. My friend and I went for the set meal for 2 for 3000 yen which came with appetisers, soup, gyoza, 2 mains and some fried rice and some fruit to finish. We also got 2 pots of green tea for free! There was a mix up with one of our mains and we received a different dish but think this was due to language mix up and was our fault for not being clear so we had it anyway, it was still delicious! The gyoza is the best I’ve had and I highly recommend the tofu and cabbage with sweet miso. The price is reasonable for the amount of food you get. Wish we could come back again to try all the other options! 5 stars ⭐️

5 stars for sure!! - Edit
I wish I could put 5 stars for them.
Read moreThe service is top notch!! The husband and wife owner is so adorable and welcoming. Makes you feel like home! Super friendly and the wife can speak pretty good English. They are very accommodating to your needs as well and understand some of the food allergies that you might not be able to have (e.g. The "onion family" roots)
There are so much options to choose for vegetarian/vegan (see picture)! I was quite surprise considering this is Japan. I went here for lunch as I only stay at Takayama for one night. So I order a spicy fried rice with egg and tofu (Buddhist style) and fried dumplings for takeaway on my bus ride. Both were so good, the spice was just right, and the flavours was very nice, remind me of home food.
They gave me appetizer and soup for free which I didn't order. The appetizer is a local koroimo (ie baby potatoes) with tofu mix with vege and soup a nice vege soup was so delicious!! I was so full by then.
Before I left they also gave me biscuits and a gift for the Chinese New Year, which I thought was very thoughtful 😊.
One of the best service, one of the best home cook food and so so much cheaper in price at the end. I definitely highly recommend this place.
Pros: Lots of vegetarian/vegan options as well as any, Allergies you might have.
Cons: None! They are too good!
