Truly vegan-friendly as 75% of the food menu is vegan

I don't basically recommend establishments with any meat and/or fish in its menu. In addition, it's located a bit on the outskirts of downtown Tokyo (30-minute train-ride from Shinjuku). That said, I couldn't resist raving on the cafe, whose name (which lit. means "Cypress Forest", the floriography of which is "immortality and eternal youth") presages the lineup it has to offer -- as much as 75% of the whole food menu is vegan and all the "latte" in the diverse drink menu can be replaced by soy/oat mylk. Not only that, as is suggested by the proportion of vegan menu, you could easily sense each dish is carefully calibrated to stand alone as the "whole delicacy" (polar opposite of wretched tossed-up replication of "meat classics"). I bet their seasonal special "Sweet Cream Pasta with Chestnut" (only available till the end of this month) will enlighten you on its indulgent triniry: the synergy of contrastive matrices btw cheddar-based rich sauce and homemade paste of organic chestnut, entwining around chewy texture of fettuccine. No wonder this is already the third visit here in a week since I came upon this hidden gem. The only con is green vegan icon, which allows you to unequivocally identify vegan items, is used only in Japanese menubook, though an image attached to each and every food/drink item will help you out.

Pros: About 75% of the entire food menu is vegan., Open at 8AM, w/ extra "Morning plate" till 11AM., An outlet equipped in each 8 seat in the counter.

Cons: No option for Oriental veg*n (except for bread)., No Eng except for self-checkout kiosk & Uber Eats., About 30min train-ride from Shinjuku &Tokyo Sta.
