Yummy and nutritious

I was happy that I could make it before moving to Kyoto. This place is recommended by so many people.
And it didn’t disappoint.
It was very delicious.
They got a natural products shop next door with a great variety. Very quiet atmosphere😄

It's okay

I was a bit underwhelmed. Personally, it wasn't my taste. The food is decent, just nothing special. The place is small and crowded, I arrived exactly at opening time, and the tables were already almost all taken. Waited for a long time for my food (30min). The karaage was good tho.

Amazing

Everybody knows that it could be difficult to find vegan/vegetarian food in Japan, especially in Tokyo.
This place was amazing, the staff was lovely and kind, very clean. The menu was all vegan: we got the main dish menu and the rice ball menu, plus a small dessert. The food was delicious, simple but very tasty. The menu also comes with roasted tea.
I would come back to eat here every other day.
The same family also owns an amazing shop with organic food connected to the restaurant. A perfect stop after a heartwarming lunch!

(P.S. they all speak English!)

Pros: Great food , Kind staff, Clean place

Very subtle and pretty

Nice ambiente with quiet jazz music in the background.

Had the daily special for 2000¥ which came with soup, brown rice and three dishes. Flavour wise everything was very subtle, which at first made me think they may have misses to put enough salt.
As the meal went on, I found this allowed for all the individual ingredients to truly shine.

Consistency of the main dish (eight treasures veggies) was a bit challenging, because it was very slimy. Probably would have given 5 stars if I went on another day and had a non-slimy dish.

Pros: Subtle flavours, Artful arrangement, Relaxed ambiente

Slow service, but delish

The service is really slow, despite having basically two lunch sets on the menu, but the wait is well worth it because everything is delicious.

Pros: Cute place, Delicious food

Cons: Slow service

Healthy Traditional Japanese Lunch

They serve Ichiju-Sansai meals with unique flavors and taste very healthy! I wasn't the biggest fan of their cake, but I think it's because they don't use a lot of sugar and try to keep it healthy.

Great if you want a lot of variety in your lunch and want to try something different - I don't think we've had food like this anywhere else in Japan!

Pros: Good variety of food, Very healthy, Staff speaks/understands English

Cons: Cake is just OK

Cute vegan cafe!

All vegan, with an organic shop (not 100% vegan but a lot of stuff) right next door run by the same family.
Menu changes but I got the fried tofu, soup, brown rice set. I recommend going for the dessert & drink set too! So many side dishes too! Super healthy and delicious!

Updated from previous review on 2024-07-22

Pros: Healthy, Authentic Japanese, Volume

cute little restaurant with daily sets

A friend brought me to that place and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere.
They have daily changing sets and also order by menu options. As well as desserts like banana cake/bread and scones with syrup.

You get rice and veggies, a very delicious soup and for example fried balls with chickpeas and tea including refill. Water is free.

They also have a store next to the restaurant where they sell many products but be careful, here they sell meat, eggs and dairy stuff too.

A lovely, quiet little place with sweet gentle music and wholesome filling food. Wasn't totally sure what I was eating at some points but it was definitely all vegetables and fruit. Menus are bilingual and very clear

Good Japanese set meal!

Cute little cafe. I went in 30 minutes past opening on a Friday and it was already full! But I only had to wait about 5 minutes. Service was very fast too. Not quite in the top tier of meals I had in Japan but still a very tasty set, highly recommend if you're in the area!

Pros: Fast service
