Lovely cafe in a calming setting - Edit
Cafe at the foot of a Buddhist temple, serves fresh lemonade, soy milk matcha lattes and a vegan curry (the only thing on the menu). The cafe is adorable and relaxing, but note it is quite expensive. The curry we had was delicious and probably the most nutritious meal I’d had on my trip so far. Ingredients are clearly displayed on each table.

Very friendly people and delicious food - Edit
Very vegan friendly (even listing all the ingredients of the curry) and the drinks can also be made with soy milk. They were very friendly and forthcoming. The athmosphere is also quite nice with wooden interior and view of the temple area. I really enjoyed it!!

Good food, calm vibes - Edit
We had an incredible lunch experience! We arrived when there was only another table occupied, so it was very quiet with just a background music. It was the perfect setting for a calm lunch! As for food, they only had one option (vegan curry) and it tasted fantastic. I ordered a hot lemonade (highly recommend it if you like warm drinks) and my husband got the cold one (they make it with sparkling water, and he enjoyed it as well). I would definitely come back here if I ever visited Miyajima again!

Vegan food at a nice place - Edit
They offer only one dish (at least when we were there) and it was the vegan curry. The curry was delicious. They also have vegan sweets (cakes).

Very nice - Edit
Had a bowl of udon which was very simple but still tasty. The owner ran out of tofu, so it was just noodles in broth with chinese chives, but at an excellently cheap price of 700 yen for a big bowl. The owner was incredibly nice, really taking time for us. She also brought us mandarin slices.

Pleasantly surprised - Edit
We saw the 'vegan snack' sign on our way to Daishoin and tried the udon. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. We also got some green tea with amanatto (sugar-coated beans) which is a recipe from the 1860s :). The whole meal was very traditionally Japanese. We much appreciate a restricted menu that considers the season and uses local ingredients in a traditional dish (instead of modern vegan alternatives to popular dishes) so this was a huge plus.

Lovely cafe - Edit
I came to this lovely cafe soon after the beginning of the new year, so the only vegan option that was available was a sesame rice ball. This was still delicious, however, and I also enjoyed the soy matcha latte.

Very good hospitality - Edit
We went there in search for vegan food and found this cute little place. While they were out of veg curry, we enjoyed the rice balls. It was one of the best rice balls we've ever had. Rhe place and the owner was very cute. It has a very aesthetic vibe. I would recommend reaching early to try the veg curry that we read amazing things about it.

A lovely stop in Daishoin temple - Edit
Great lunch stop at the Daishoin temple. The lady is so friendly and welcoming. Asked my where I am from and even brought a map to add my name in. Very chatty and kind.
Read moreFoodwise they currently have a vegan curry with almonds and cashew which was really wonderful and a porridge which I haven't tried. Seemed an all-vegan place. A bit expensive (1800 for the curry, yet very wholesome and filling), but for this location seemed reasonable.

Peaceful cafe with a tasty curry - Edit
A beautiful cafe that offers a vegan curry. When we visited it was a tomato, soy mince and ginger-based one that was delicious. Also ordered a matcha latte which can be made vegan with soy milk. The lady who runs the cafe is friendly and welcoming.

Lovely - Edit
We stopped for the vegan somen noodles and really loved it. It's a cold dish and super refreshing on a hot day. We also ordered a matcha latte which they can make with soy milk. The owner is super friendly, I would recommend to visit if you are on the island.😄

Lovely stop to cool down - Edit
We stopped here for drinks and lunch. There wasn't a large menu and they clearly were focused on flavoured shaved ice (we didn't have it but it looked awesome). We had cold noodles, which were tasty and filling. It's in a lovely traditional house and we were lucky as there wasn't a queue when we arrived. The owner was really lovely if not slightly forgetful when the cafe was busy but we got everyone ordered and a chance to cool down from the heat. I would recommend.
