Delicious lunch - Edit
Sweet restaurant! I had the delicious plate of the day that included seitan, brown rice, miso and a couple of vegetable and bean additions. Vegan blueberry cheesecake was divine.

It won’t let me give 5 stars since it’s not full veg. But it’s 5 stars. - Edit
It was such a pleasant experience. The dog Limu was incredible and the owners were so so nice. They fed us a massive vegan feast that was easily the best food I’ve had in all my trips to Japan. Will 100% go back every time I’m in Osaka. Thanks for everything!

One of the best restaurants in Osaka - Edit
It’s very disappointing to not give them 5 stars because this place is by far the best restaurant that I have been to in Osaka.

Extremely Disappointed! - Edit
We walked 20 minutes to get to this restaurant, which was meant to be open until 10-11pm, but when we arrived at 7pm they would not serve us as they were about to close. What a waste of our time!
Read morePros: Who knows, we never got the chance to try anything
Cons: Closing when they are meant to be open

Amazing Japanese cuisine - Edit
Delicious food with great care given to presentation and flavors. I had the impression that perhaps they expect more foreign customers for lunch, since only the lunch menu had an English translation, but the staff was happy to explain the menu. For dinner, there was one set course that was vegan, so there wasn't necessarily a lot of flexibility, but I felt taken care of with the chef's choices and being brought along on a journey of vegan Japanese dishes. The dishes were brought out one-by-one with explanations about each one, and with dessert, I thought it was a well-thought-out and filling amount of food for about 2500 yen. I had an excellent experience.

Sweet and worth the walk - Edit
This place is a little out of the way of any big attractions, but the food is worth it. I tried one of the morning sets with rice, miso soup, and several side dishes, all made by the friendly woman who owns the establishment. It was also surprisingly cheap for the quality. I haven’t tried any of the other foods here, but everything looked equally as good.

My best vegan restaurant in Osaka. It’s family owned restaurant with a cute dog. They serve vegan macrobiotic breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sweet. You can get vegan bento too! The owners are so kind. I highly recommend you to visit this restaurant and try their awesome foods if you’re in Osaka!

Yummy Vegan Set Meals - Edit
This restaurant is pleasant, bright and spacious inside, has free wifi and an almost completely vegan menu. The food is simple but really carefully prepared and balanced; I'll go back soon!

Charming mainly vegan spot - Edit
Went for Christmas dinner with my girlfriend; from what I understood from the server, the entire menu is essentially vegan but certain items can be changed to non-veg. Not sure if that's a step forward or back..? The staff also weren't borderline aggressive like they inexplicably tend to be at places here, which was nice.
Read moreAs can be seen in my photos, they have separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Breakfast seems sandwich-centred, lunch teishoku and dinner half Chinese half western/Japanese.
In any case, the food was good and the portion/price ratio wasn't bad as it can be, at least not for what we ordered. Dinner for two with a beer was ¥4000. I hadn't seen vegan rice omelette before, so that was a treat!
Pros: Variety, Atmosphere, Flavour
Cons: Some dishes pricey, Will add meat to dishes (?)
