Decent stop - Edit
We are here on our day trip to Himeji Castle. The food was good, no complaints but it also didn’t stand out and was kind of bland.

Lovely Meal Set with GF Option - Edit
I visited a couple of times during my stay in Himeji. I tried the meal set as well as the gluten free options. These change monthly. If you visit after 3pm you can order pancakes, which were heaven. It also includes a small store where I purchased some chocolate to eat later in my travels.

Quite okay - Edit
The food was okay. We had the mushroom and seitan stew with rice. Hearty and warming but not super flavorful. The soy latte, however, wasn’t great, and my wife had the matcha latte which was far, far too sweet. That said, I am just really happy that the place exists since there aren’t many options in Himeji.
Read morePros: It exists, Large portions , Filling
Cons: Soy and matcha latte was not good

Piccolo ristorante vegano - Edit
Uno dei pochissimi locali vegani che ho trovato a Himeji, molto carino. Oltre al ristorante, il locale funge anche da negozio in quanto vendono prodotti vegani (e non). Menù con una scelta abbastanza vasta. Molto buono.

Excellent vegan cafe - Edit
This cafe is also a little shop.
Read moreOffers a fully vegan menu and a daily set lunch menu.
Staff doesn’t‘ speak a lot of English but are very helpful.
Located not far from the Himeji station.
Not many seats inside so try to go early. Prices are midrange and not that cheap but worth it.
Pros: Fully vegan, Friendly service , Location
Cons: Not many tables

What a lunch set - Edit
We both ordered the hamburger lunch set, and it was phenomenal. Blown away honestly. The curry potato salad was the standout for both of us.

Delicious set lunch - Edit
All vegan cafe with lovely traditional Japanese style lunch set. When we visited around midday the menu was limited to about 2 different lunch set options. There was also a large choice of hot and cold drinks on the menu. Each lunch set option was made up by a variety of delicious small dishes.
Read moreThe cafe is very close to Himeji Castle and gardens - would recommend eating here before or after your visit to the castle.
Cosy interior and friendly staff.

A bit disappointed, too pricey - Edit
Cute vegan café, but the price (1850) was very high for the portion size of the lunch set, and the food was nice but nothing extraordinary... The main dish (taro) was not very interesting and tasted like a mashed potato ball.

Great food in a relaxing atmosphere - Edit
Perfect place for a lunch stop after jostling among the crowds at the castle. The vibes were so peaceful and soothing. Menu came in English and staff also spoke some English. Ordered the set lunch with the umesho-bancha—a Japanese savory hot tea—which was different and quite nice. Then I had the black sesame cake for dessert to round out the meal. Everything was delicious and well portioned. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend it!

Amazing culinary experience - Edit
Fresh healthy vegan food. They utilize local produce and serve healthy food. A bit on the pricier side but this is truly a 5 star experience. Worth the price.
