How about that!

Small (only 3 big tables) cosy and with a veiw of a zen garden. The staff was super-nice and the food was spot on. We tried the ramen and the curry. And ok, only two options. But! They tasted like heaven and was worth the walk and the wait. It was such comfort coming here, there was some very calming music playing and you felt none of the stress and bussyness that other places in Miyajima might hold.

Strongly recomend if you need some time to relax.

Pros: The atmosphere, The tasty tasty food, The staff

Cons: A bit small, Waited for a litle while for the food

Decent food

Can’t complain about the food, or the service, staff was very friendly and gets a 5/5 . The only reason it drops a star is this is the most expensive meal of our trip but the level of food doesn’t match it, it’s good, don’t get me wrong . Just now wow enough to gain the max.

Vegan ramen after hiking 😋

I likely saw the cafe briefly on HappyCow but disregarded it, assuming it was only coffee and sweets. Then I stumbled upon their cafe as I was exploring. They had a sign saying vegan curry, so I went in. I was offered a menu for drinks and sweets and so I asked if they still served food, to which they presented info about ramen. I ordered the ramen and it was tasty and perfect serving size for me. Staff seemed to know a good amount of English as well.

Peaceful and yummy

I had the vegan curry, the soy strawberry dessert, and a soy matcha latte. As others have mentioned, the nuts in the curry add a great touch. The portion may look small in photos, but it’s surprisingly filling.

While the cafe is a bit pricey, we were happy to pay for the excellent service, high-quality food, and their support of vegan options on the island.

The venue is a small wooden tea house near Daishoin Temple, with three large tables inside and additional seating outside. The staff were wonderful—they asked if we were vegan and even recommended Happy Cow to us.

Hexagon Cafe

Venue
A small wooden tea house. Three large tables inside. Some seating outside.

Service
I was asked if I was vegan. I said that I was. I was thanked. Nice. They’re also exceedingly patient.

Food
I had the curry, the strawberry dessert & a soy matcha latte. I don’t recall ever having a curry with nuts in it but it really, really worked. The soy matcha latte was the best I’ve ever had. But I’m no connoisseur so don’t be mad at me if it doesn’t meet your standards.

Price
3700jpy for everything. Maybe a little pricey compared to what you can get elsewhere in Japan but running a veg place on Miyajima can’t be easy and the quality of the food and drink was spot on so I’m happy.

Limited space, don’t make a special trip.

Very limited seating and tiny menu.

We started the cafe after realizing that there was a lack of food and drinks available for vegans on Miyajima, a city visited by many travelers from all over the world.

Is having few seats a bad thing?
Is having few menu items a sin?

I'm disappointed that vegans like you exist.

Do you feel good posting negative comments?

This cafe has 3 tables, 20 seats, and 20 different menu items. Can you explain why you don't have enough?

Yummy vegan ramen!

Hexagon has been a bit a vegan haven for a while now and I always loved their beautifully presented curry. But now I have a new favorite - delicious vegan ramen. So good!
You can also refill your bottles with water here - it's a MyMizu spot :)

Pros: Vegan ramen! , Curry almost too pretty to eat. , Lovely welcome and service

Cons: Can get busy, but just chill & enjoy the garden :)

Such a lovely tranquil spot, the vegan curry was great. The portions sizes are bigger in real life than the photos seem.

Convenient and delicious

Owner is very friendly and the food is clearly labelled vegan. They ran out of sake and whiskey but gave me a glass of umeshu (plum wine) for free. Food of the day was the curry and strawberry pudding - both vegan and delicious.

Pros: Tasty, Friendly, Fast

A cozy lunch break.

I came here to recover after climbing mt. Misen.
The only dish was a vegan ramen at the time. The portion was fine.
Though the wait time was pretty high during lunch rush, the atmosphere there was so relaxing that I absolutely did not mind it.

Pros: Vegan Ramen!, Amazing location and atmosphere.

Amazing ramen

During our time exploring Miyajima Island we came here to escape the heat for a while. The restaurant is located just outside a temple complex in a really cute old tea house at the edge of the forest. The have a small menu which includes a cold vegan soy milk ramen. This was probably the best ramen we have had in all of Japan. The ingredients tasted so fresh and the soup was amazing. The only downside might be that the ramen was gone way to fast. We even had a short chat with the owner, and after telling her that we found the restaurant with HappyCow, she made us some delicious matcha for free.

Pros: Incredibly friendly staff, Amazing ramen

Cons: Not completely vegan, Quite expensive

Delicious

We found it by accident and we fall in love with the place, so cozy and nice. The owner was really lovely and the lemonade was amazing, full of taste and sparks. We tried the cold vegan noodles for the first time and they were simply fantastic. I can't recommend this place more. Just go.

Pros: Ambient, Really nice owners, Delicious lemonade and food

Beautiful, quiet spot for noodles

Hexagon Cafe has a very small menu, but their soymilk noodles is a tasty delight on a hot day. The setting is beautiful, with the cafe nestled in the trees beneath the temple. Enjoy a drink and some food in a lovely, calm setting.
