Absolute Must Try! - Edit
Everything at JoGeSaYu was exceptional. I’ve already been two times in as many days. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The menus had English descriptions of the items. Theh had nonalcoholic options in their drink menu and I enjoyed trying the non alcoholic sparkling rosè in their beautiful glasses. I ordered the Mini Teppan Okonomiyaki, Agedashi Tofu and the Karaage feom the À la carte menu. They were all so flavorful. I ordered the mapo tofu rice bowl as my main course, it was delicious, although it was almost too hot spice wise for me… but it gave me an excuse to order the strawberry chocolate ice cream parfait to cool my mouth down, which was decedent. I couldn’t resist also trying the Setouchi Lemon Cake, it was fresh and creamy and positively picture perfect.

High End Service, Mid-Range Price - Edit
It really is a good restaurant with some good dishes, sadly for us the portions were a bit small. The food itself was really good, at a mid-range price point it was to be expected, but the staff really treats you like it is some high end restaurant; serving you water, getting your bags and jacket, asking if you’d like to try a glass of their alcohol free drink, it all felt a bit too much for me.
Read moreThe restaurant has a lunch menu (11.30am-2pm), cafe menu (2pm-5pm), and a dinner menu (5pm-10pm). The lunch and dinner menu don’t differ that much but they do have some differences. We went for both lunch and dinner, and for some reason you get free water and refills during lunch but have to pay ¥300 during dinner. Biggest difference is that you can get the Hiroshima style okonomiyaki as a side during dinner.
We ordered a bunch of different things, cutlet bowl, dandan noodles, okonomiyaki, tempura bowl, mapo tofu bowl, and even a matcha latte. All of them were really good but some were quite expensive and the portions rather small.
Definitely worth a visit though, food is good, service was over the top, we even got a free bottle of their alcohol-free drink for filling in a survey!
Pros: Extremely friendly staff, Good food, Hiroshima style okonomiyaki
Cons: Small portions, Restaurant fills up quick

Delicious, top quality, worth every yen! - Edit
Went here twice in 2 days, for lunch and then next day for dinner. I think we tried pretty much everything on the menu and every dish was delicious, beautifully presented and came very quickly with great service. We ordered about 5 mains and a dessert just before last orders and they still made everything with such care! I particularly loved the tempura veg and the karagee (super soft fried faux chicken) and all the desserts - the parfait and lemon cheesecake were both heavenly! Not cheap but for a fine dining meal it wasn’t too bad.

Holy moly this was good. Had two mains and a dessert - Edit
The food was delicious, priced well and big portions. My partner and I had two mains each because there were so many good looking choices on the menu. The lemon cake and chocolate gateaux for desserts were great also - the lemon one was the best

overpriced - Edit
Don’t get me wrong, the food truly is amazing but the fact that I had to buy a drink with it and couldn’t pack the rest was a bit much for me. If you are a person liking bigger portions, you will surely not be disappointed. For the rest of us - it’s too much and for too much money. You also cannot just stop by for the dessert, which for me ment I won’t be able to try it.

BEST FOOD! MUST TRY! - Edit
✨ JoGeSaYu – Hiroshima ✨
Read moreThis place is an absolute hidden gem! The food was extremely delicious, with flavour that was seriously on point and dishes that were beautifully presented. We went with the Dinner Course—which I highly recommend—it’s reasonably priced, best value for money and lets you try a bit of everything. You even get to choose your main and a flavoured ice cream for dessert!
The food is authentic Japanese vegan, thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavour. The staff were super lovely and spoke pretty good English, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. The restaurant is super clean and aesthetic, with a calm, modern vibe. Gluten-free options are available, and the staff were helpful in navigating dietary needs. And as a fun bonus, you can even get a cool sticker at the end if you follow them on Instagram!
It’s in a great location too—just a 5-minute walk from the local streetcar (tram). We loved it so much we came back two nights in a row before leaving Hiroshima.
Vegan or not, you’ll love it—this spot is an absolute must-visit!

Delicious parfait and curry - Edit
Enjoyed the food here, it was really delicious. The owner was also sweet and gave us free stickers. Only dropped the rating to 4 stars because the price felt quite high. Also mind that they only service certain food at specific times (we went before 5pm so the only savoury option was curry)

Cibo buono - Edit
Il cibo è buono, tuttavia le porzioni sono piccole e per il mio budget un po' costoso. Il personale è stato molto gentile, anche se non parlano l'inglese fluente, hanno fatto il loro meglio. Essendo un ristorante nuovo, spero che possano migliorare alcuni punti. Partiamo dal fatto che, anche se ordini diversi piatti oppure ti prendi il menù fisso con bevanda inclusa, è obbligatorio ordinare una bevanda. Al pagamento, sorpresa!!! Hanno aggiunto il 10% per il servizio, cosa piuttosto insolita in Giappone.

Still room for improvement - Edit
I am grateful that at least there is one fully vegan place in Hiroshima and that should be appreciated. This is still relatively new restaurant, and there are quite a few points that could be fixed. Firstly, the staff does not communicate in English even though there were only non-Japanese guests in the restaurant. Secondly, you are required to order a drink (even though we ordered meal set that included a drink) and you are not welcomed with tap water (which is quite common in Japanese restaurants). Thirdly, the 10% service is added to your bill which is also not usual for Japan (pulse the service was not worth it). This is definitely not authentic Japanese restaurant, rather a westernized version of Japanese food. The food is good, however portions are small and a bit pricey (almost 1000 yen for small bowl of salad with dressing for instance). I hope that this place will develop because there is a potential.

Hiroshima Vegan Goodness - Edit
First meal in Hiroshima and it was at the excellent JoGeSaYu. We shared the fries and mapo tofu, and the set, which started with a small drink followed by a succession of thoughtfully detailed dishes.
Read moreThe potato salad was presented as a miniature garden scene with vegetables 'growing' in the potato soil, a tiny bucket of carrot-based sauce, and an equally tiny spade included to scoop it up with. I would not have been surprised to see Peter Rabbit pop up!
A wonderful concept and attention to detail, fantastic service, and a random chance to meet JoGeSaYu's overseeing Chef Kusumoto, of vegan restaurant Saido in Tokyo. A treat.
Don't miss it!
Pros: Delicious, creative dishes, Excellent service , Reasonably priced

Very yummy and high quality dinner menu. It’s very cheap, for approximately 17€ you get a snack, a starter, a drink, a main course and a dessert that looks and tastes like a fine dining experience 😊
