A bit disappointed, too pricey - Edit
Cute vegan cafΓ©, 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-banchaβa Japanese savory hot teaβwhich 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.

Vegan restaurant near Himeji train station - Edit
Really nice place in Himeji to have vegan breakfast or lunch. I ate a plate with brown rice and soy meet curry and I really appreciated it. The place also sells a lot of items both for personal wellness and food. The owner is a english speaker japanese girl that lived in Italy so she can speak italian as well.

yummy set lunch, peaceful and calm vibe - Edit
Lovely, peaceful cafe, just 10-15 minutes walk from the garden and castle. Their lunch set was delicious, as was the matcha flan. The food menu is small but they also offer lots of tea, herbal coffee, coffees, treats, etc. You can tell the high quality of the organic ingredients by how fresh and tasty they are! Simple, thoughtful, delicious, nutritious food. Good for body & soul!
Read moreThe shop is cute too, though not everything is vegan. The workers will help you discern if something is or isnβt vegan in the shop if you have questions. Everyone seems kind and friendly.π
Pros: Fresh and organic, Delicious, Peaceful and calm vibe
Cons: Limited food menu, Shop has some non-vegan items

Tasty lunch set and cake - Edit
Popped in here just before 2pm after visiting Himeji Castle (other restaurants had already sold out of vegan options). It's a little off the main road but well worth the diversion.
Read moreThe lunch set was tasty, filling, and had a lot of variety. All seemed fresh and proportions were good. Tried the carrot cake dessert which was moist and had a good flavour.
Pros: Good vegan set menu, Lots of drink & sweets options, Inside store with vegan snacks available

Delicious satisfaction - Edit
After visiting Himeji Castle I came here and as it was after 3:30pm, I thought oh no I missed lunch. But, as it was after 3pm I could now order the pancakes, which I did and oh my am I glad I came by late. They were melt in your mouth delightful and satisfied a craving I didn't know I had.

I love this place! - Edit
I often go here for lunch - the lunch set is large, filling, and delicious. I also like popping in for a coffee or organic juice and pastry.
Read moreEverything on the menu is vegan and so tasty.
The shop is great too. There are vegan packaged foods (and some non-vegan too - so ask if youβre unsure) and sustainable items, such as metal straws and a cute eco bag with the cafeβs logo (I always carry around the small one with me).

Great food - very kind owner - Edit
I had a very pleasant dinner at il riccio. The food was very delicious - typical Japanese food and I even got a salad and some chocolate to my scone as a service. I talked with the owner for quite some time, which made me very happy since I am travelling alone.

First plant-based cafe in Himeji - Edit
Probably the first ever plant-based cafe in Himeji. It's awesome for vegans who visit / live in Himeji because we hadn't had anywhere to really eat for the longest time. The food is pretty good. There's a bunch of sweets and drink options. WARNING: the meals, drinks and sweets they serve are totally vegan but they have a shop section attached to it where they sell dairy, egg and fish contained products and even real sausages. So if you're a vegan and looking to buy something other than just having lunch or a tea, pls ensure to check!
Read morePros: In downtown, English menu, Relaxing atmosphere
Cons: Sells meat and other non-veg products at the shop, A bit pricy
