Super delicious udon! - Edit
May need to queue up for a while if in a group larger than 2 - I went solo and waited 10mins before skipping the line to enter the restaurant. Let the staff know you require the vegetarian menu before you enter. They also serve warm tea upon sitting down. Udon was great, the broth was delicious and tempura was also amazing as well. Seems like this place is quite popular with locals as well.

Best Vegan Udon broth I have ever had. The noodles were perfect as well and the tempura was fantastic. After a morning of lots of walking, it was the perfect lunch.

Great udon in a cosy restaurant - Edit
Service: you have to be waiting on numbered seats until you get seated at a table. There is an English menu that has a vegetarian part. The staff speaks English fluently enough to take orders.
Read moreAtmosphere: little cosy restaurant with 3 tables and several seats at a bar. There is a second floor, but i didn't see what was there.
Food: has two vegan options. Udon tastes great, single topping is provided. Medium size meal. Has proper spices if you want to give your noodles more flavour
Pros: You can spice up your meal yourself using.. spices

Traditional delicious Udon - Edit
The vegan / vegetarian option is very traditional Japanese food and especially great if you wish to try tempura / udon while walking through the busy city center of Kyoto. There also are two side dishes that are presumably vegan: the fried lotus root (レンコンチップス) and deep fried aubergine with sweet miso paste.

No vegetarian options available due to “selling out” - Edit
Queued outside from 30min after they opened, but they were apparently sold out of vegetarian options by the time we ordered. Absolute waste of time, no apology for not having any vegetarian options available.

SO tasty - Edit
Vegan omen meal with tempura - SO delicious! The only difference between my meal and my friends was that I had a sweet potato tempura piece instead of a shrimp tempura LOL so my meal did not feel like it was lacking at all. Great place!

The waiter tells me they have more vegan options here than at the ginkakuji branch. Not as many during corona times but hopefully the vegan options will increase again as normalcy returns!

We absolutely loved the food here. 100% free from animal products, clearly stated on their menu. Putting it altogether in the broth as you eat makes for a fun experience as well. We’d love to go back!

Delicious udon - Edit
Separate vegetarian (vegan) menu (ask) with tasty options. The udon was delicious and they say on the menu how to eat which is helpful if you’re new in Japan! Quite a small restaurant right near the Gion district but on the main road, but lovely and cosy inside with friendly nice staff.

I had a very tasty udon noodles and vegan tempura here. There are two set meals with optional sides to add on. It’s around 2000¥ which is a bit pricey.
