J'ai mangé avant de prendre la photo mais c'était vraiment joli.
Il faut payer avant de manger.

Macrobiotic Vegan Lunch - Edit
We tried both lunch sets and a soy milk ice cream. Both were very tasty. Probably hard to find any better vegan restaurant in Nagoya.

Healthy food in a cosy place - Edit
Nice and cosy place, with helpful staff and delicious food. You can choose between curry set or lunch of a day, both with a small coffee (or decaf). There’s no English menu, but a translator does the job quite well. Also, at least one person from the staff speaks English. There’s also a small food store, a nice option to buy something while waiting for food.

Tasty, healthy food - Edit
The lunch menu offers delicious, varied, and healthy food, and the bean-based ice cream is amazing. Note that last lunch order is at 2pm, and neither the (very friendly) staff nor the menu are in English, so bring Google Translate with you.

For the health conscious! - Edit
Definitely a good spot near Nagoya Castle for a healthy vegan lunch - the location and the staff were fantastic. You go into the cafe in the shop, order, and go and pay at the counter. There's the option of the lunch set and a curry. The lunch set seems to change regularly so it may be a luck of the draw situation - the meal is a smaller portion and unfortunately, I didn't love the soup of the day as it was quite earthy. Definitely still worth a visit if you'd like a healthy lunch near Nagoya Castle!

Tasty lunch meal - Edit
Bit of a wait for the food to arrive (they were fairly busy), but the lunch set meal was delicious. The set also came with a drink and dessert choice. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the meal was cheap. If you have the time, it's worth the wait.

For health nuts - Edit
When I went they had a guest chef making meals, which were the same for everyone (one big sampler plate). The staff were very kind. You pay in the store connected to the restaurant before eating. Might be confusing if you don't know Japanese...
Read moreThe food was certainly healthy but it was lacking in bold flavors. The croquette-like dish was good. I think if you're an Organic Ultra Healthy Gluten Free No Fat No Carbs No Protein No Calories type of person it might interest you but for me I was left wanting afterwards.
Pros: Nice staff
Cons: Lacking in satisfaction

Vegan cafe near nagoya castle - Edit
The food was delicious and the shop itself is fairly spacious. It is weird that you can’t order a set without coffee and that you can’t upgrade your drink so if you want another drink you have to order it on top of the price of the set meal.
Read morePros: All vegan, Healthy, Spacious
Cons: Short hours, A little pricey, Small menu

High Quality Vegan Cafe with Ice Cream Thick Shake! - Edit
Read more in this vegan Nagoya guide: https://itravelforveganfood.com/vegan-nagoya-guide/
Read moreClose to Nagoya Castle, Pupu Kitchen is a cafe that’s inside a health food store. It only serves lunch from 11:30am – 2pm. So if you want to try the lunch set, make sure you arrive in time.
The lunch set has a selection of small dishes that changes from time to time. The taste and variety are great. I especially like the slightly wasabi flavored creamy potato salad.
The seasonal soft serve ice cream parfait tastes as good as it looks. It uses matcha and black sesame syrups, and a scoop of sweet red bean.
Another must-try is this soft serve ice cream thick shake. Yes, this shake uses soft serve ice cream! The result is thick, creamy and delicious.
The health store outside Pupu Kitchen has a lot of vegan groceries, including noodles, snacks, sauces, and even cookies and ice cream. The owner there seems to be familiar with which item is vegan. When I accidentally picked a non-vegan curry, he was able to let me know.
Pros: All Vegan, Ice cream thick shake is delicious, Right next to a vegan friendly grocery shop
Cons: Only serves lunch

Delicious stop in Nagoya - Edit

Cons: Small (seats only maybe 12?)

Delicious food - Edit
For a big city, Nagoya's vegan options are very limited. But luckily there's a place like Pupu Kitchen. We had the daily lunch set and a parfait for dessert. The food was amazing!

Finally a Vegan Ice Cream! - Edit
Definitely makes your mouth water seeing all the dairy soft-serve ice creams basically near all the castles. Was soo good to finally dig into one that didn't have dairy in it (plus cruelty-free!). I tried their ice cream, chocolate parfait and hot cocoa. I didn't enjoy the chocolate parfait too much because it had a citrus layer to it that used oranges. Would have liked it with just chocolate. That's a personal preference though. The ice cream was delicious. It had a topping that was sweet and biscuits inside that were fantastic. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were friendly.
Read moreI was disappointed to see animal ingredients (namely fish) in their health shop...
Pros: Friendly atmosphere, Options, Healthy
Cons: Not sure about all the ingredients
