Cute cafe - Edit
We stopped here for coffee and cake and it was nice. Friendly staff and all desserts are vegan. Not the best cake of my life but quite good, would return.

Wonderful spot - Edit
I stopped by this place on the way to Arashiyama Park. It serves meat but has a great vegan menu, and all the desserts are vegan as well. The restaurant was eclectic and warm, and the same can be said for the folks working there. I ordered a Japanese style chickpea curry lunch set, which was great, but the chocolate cake knocked it out of the park.

Decent option, nothing to write home about - Edit
If you have other options, especially Shojin Ryori or some Tofu restaurants open try those instead. The food was good but you'll find the same kind anywhere in Japan.

Came here after 3pm so just coffee and cake. Got the cockolate cake, it wasn't bad but not the best one I had. Kinda a small piece for 550yen.

Wasn’t for me - Edit
When visiting the bamboo forest looking for a vegan option near by. Meals looked like they would be tasty and reviews were promising. Just not my cup of tea. Was too healthy and lacking flavours for me. Partner didn’t enjoy his meal also. Service was great though. Ordered a cake after which was ok. Probably the highlight but won’t be returning.

Cons: Expensive, Not my cup of tea flavour wise

Convenient vegan place in Arashiyama - Edit
The main plus point for me for this cafe is that it was kind of tucked away from the Main Street - Which meant it wasn’t crowded and we got a table straight away. We just got dessert. The banana pound cake was delicious, my husband said the matcha one was good, but I didn’t really like the cheese cake. Tasted like nothing. The staff were almost awkward. They wanted to speak to us in English (which is a normal judgement of my white person face lol) but my husband is Japanese and only really speaks Japanese. Just made it confusing and awkward. Also, we had to wait for a long time (30+ mins) while they prepared the table next to us full lunch plates before we got ours. I understand they wanted to get the orders out in order, but ours was literally just cake on a plate.

Delicious !!!!! - Edit
I wasn’t expecting that the place had so many choices. It is a casual place with wooden tables giving a “natural” environment to be in. The staffs were nice and could understand and speak English.
Read moreAs for the food, first of all, the visual was pretty well composed. Second of all, most of the food seemed to be organic. Finally, it was delicious.
I will definitely go there again if I am around and need to spend a nice and restful time as a vegan.

Nice cafe - Edit
Went to Musubi when Arashiyama-Kan was inexplicably closed. Very pleasant cafe with a clearly labeled vegetarian lunch plate. Seems like the lunch plate changes regularly but there is always a vegetarian option.

Great taste - Edit
The place is relexing, quiet and tasty. But, a-bit pricy. There is 3 vegetarian dishes for lunch, all very good. Comes with great misu soup, delicious salad, small smoothie and tea.

Had the delicious (and beautiful) set lunch - the vegan miso soup was full of savory flavor. The tart pickled vegetables were a nice compliment to the slightly sweet but fluffy fried gluten.

Excellent Food & Desserts - Edit
This is a convenient location to eat if visiting the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove. It's a short walk from the JR station. We arrived during tea time, which was at first disappointing because we were very hungry and looking forward to the lunch options. Thankfully, they still serve a limited number of dishes during tea time (a veggie spaghetti dish, a chickpea curry dish, and there was a third option I don't remember). We ordered the spaghetti and the curry and both were excellent. We followed lunch up with chocolate cake, the ice cream parfait, and a matcha smoothie. They also had many other vegan dessert options.

Small café with non-vegan & vegan lunch set which consists of pickled sides, miso soup, shot of fruit smoothie, rice (mixed/brown) with soy meat and salad for 1350 ¥. Offers variety of vegan deserts and coffee/matcha/hojicha latte (with soy milk) which is heavenly ❤

Lovely place with vegan options - Edit
We had a lunch option which was really nice (it’s called vegetarian btw). The food was tasty and enough portion for 1400 yen. We didn’t try their cakes, but they all looked very tasty from the pictures. If you like tea lattes get the hojicha soy milk latte!!!! It’s heavenly.
