Beautiful space - Edit
After stocking up on bits and pieces in the store, we relaxed in the Cafe Natural for some tea, rice milk hot chocolate and ice cream. We tried the orange flavour, and our favourite, rosewater and elderflower. The cafe is a lovely setting, very natural style. We did hear a sad dog crying, which made us sad too.

Sweet little cafe - Edit
Stopped by here for lunch one day. Would definitely recommend it as it’s one of the few vegan places I was able to find in kurashiki. The bolognese was lovely and we got some almond ice cream for desert which hit the spot after a hot morning walking round the town. The only downside is that the portions are not that big so if you’re very hungry then you might be left feeling hungry again after a short while.
Read morePros: Vegan ice cream, Good location, English menu
Cons: Small portions

Charming spot in old Kurashiki - Edit
They recently moved the cafe to the second floor, and the first floor is now all groceries (not all vegan or vegetarian, so check the labels).
Read moreThe name has changed to Café Nature and the first floor is now called Marché Nature.
The cafe is beautifully designed out of wood and the toilets are really nicely designed. They have a pretty back deck too that reminds me of a lot of places in Taiwan.
I love the genovese pasta but it does a number on my stomach for some reason- my friend agreed on both counts! I still won't stop eating it because it's so good.
The curry rice is really big and was tasty.
The bread is a white baguette and comes with some extremely high-quality olive oil.
I loved the vegan parfait- mine didn't have shiratama dango and vanilla ice cream on it like the photo outside advertised but instead matcha jelly, matcha ice cream, citrus slices, and a cookie. It was very tasty.
Be careful not to mis-order the strawberry parfait if you are vegan- that one's not a soy parfait.
I've also tried the organic soymilk ice cream but definitely prefer the parfait.
The only menu item I was a bit disappointed by was the soy latte- it was pretty watery.
I loved the food and picked up a couple of their cookies and sweets to take home- Daichinomi matcha cookie balls and Yukidoke black sesame sweets- I wasn't crazy about the matcha cookies as they were a bit hard. The black sesame sweets were more like sugar and black sesame mixed together- simple, but not bad.
I love how they have a wide variety of groceries and a vegan mark on the menu and even on their homemade cookies. It made shopping really easy.
The pasta was 1000 yen, parfait 1200, soy latte 650, green matcha cookies for takeaway 170, black sesame sweets for takeaway 180.
I am sure if I lived closer I would visit all the time.

This is an amazing vegan-friendly restaurant in one of Japan's most beautiful places. Any time I come to Soil, their combination of great service, unique food, and atmosphere always are an important part of my time in Kurashiki.
Read moreEspecially the vegan sandwiches(which is a rarity in Japan) are amazing.
Don't miss out on the 2nd floor bar, maybe the best hidden spot in Kurashiki.
Pros: Vegan Restaurant in Bikan Quarter, Amazing Food, Amazing Staff

Awesome Kurashiki Cafe - Edit
The curry here is excellent among a bunch of things. Also the store is new and continues to experiment with different things to improve the menu.
Read moreThe staff are also extremely friendly and it feels great to just sit and eat here.
Also, on Saturday nights they open the bar on the second floor for a kind of bar setting which is wonderful.
I feel very lucky to have stumbled on this place in Kurashiki and whenever I have time in the city I go there.
Pros: Great location, Kind staff, Vegan labels on the menu
Cons: VERY rarely it can get really busy

Amazing modern Japanese fusion cafe with vegan options - Edit
This beautiful and trendy cafe is located right at the entrance of the traditional Bikan area in Kurashiki. We stumbled upon this cafe after not finding anything on Happy Cow, and were so happy to be able to add this to the list of vegan-friendly spots in Okayama!
Read moreTrendy interior inspired by the traditional architecture, organic, local vegetables and delicious vegan options. All vegan meals have the vegan symbol. We ate here 4 times in the 2 days we were in Kurashiki (the staff were very amused and kind about our frequent visits!) Staff speak a little English and the menu is fully bilingual. Some of the best, healthy vegan food and desserts we’ve had in a while! We had every vegan option on the menu. Our recommendations are the curry, grilled veggies, bread, veggie sandwich and soy cream dessert. Check out our pics!
Pros: only restaurant with vegan options in the Bikan ar, English menu, Organic, local veggies
