Yummy Vegan Curry

I visited with a group for afternoon meal. I had the green curry with 11 herbs which was the mildest green curry I've ever had and I was able to finish everything without having a runny nose. Others had the curry with 8 vegetables as well as tea and icecream. There was also a vegan chicken curry on the menu. Everyone loved the food. The place has a calm and relaxed ambience and the water is so clean. They also stock T's Tantan cup ramen and vegan donuts.

Amazing! would give 5*

We went here after coming down from the mountain. The food was delicious, the chef was very nice and the restaurant is just beautiful. The plates look amazing und you eat the curry with a wooden spoon.

Great Lunch Spot

Sonoma is a lovely little restaurant that has a quiet, cozy and friendly vibe inside in contrast to the crowds that run through this busy area of Miyajima. We stumbled upon this place while looking for lunch and were drawn in by the “vegan” ice cream sign. Most of the meals on their menu are plant based and the owner was very kind. We both had the vegetable curry with rice—it’s so delicious! The decor inside is lovely. They have beautiful plants and greenery for sale everywhere so you feel like you’re either eating in a garden or a greenhouse. 10/10! We really enjoyed everything!

Pros: Lovely ambience , Delicious food

Fantastic curry

Absolutely amazing 3 bean mix vegan curry on the menu here - definitely one of the best I’ve eaten in a long time. Lovely store, was fantastic to sit here for a while after climbing Mt Misen. Accepts credit card and has three different vegan curries on the menu, as well as soy milk gelato.

Pros: Lots of options, Accepts card, Great ambiance

Amazing Curry and

The Vegan Butter "Chicken" Curry and Green Curry were delicious. The Roasted Green Tea Sorbet was pleasant as well. I wish I tried all the flavors. If I ever come back to Miyajima Island I'll make sure to come back.

Super leckeres veganes Curry

Wir sind zufällig hier gelandet wegen dem Cola Werbeschild und fanden es großartig! Unbedingt die Cola probieren! Das vegane Curry ist sensationell und gehört zu den besten Curries die ich bisher gegessen habe. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros: Cola, Curry, Eis

Cons: Leider nicht vollständig vegan

Hearty curry

Loved! I had the spinach curry (bursting with flavour). My friend who not vegan had the vegan cheese bagel and he said it was good.

Drip ice coffee was 5/5...close to cable cart

Very cute cafe!

Ate here after hiking Mt. Misen and was very hungry after. Curry was very good but I find it tasted more like an Indian curry than a Japanese. Still hit the spot after hiking though!

Excellent curry, mind the toppings

As seems to be the trend in Japan, many vegan/vegetarian restaurants seem to have a focus on presenting themselves as health food stores, and the interior of this cafe reflects this. You pay on ordering at the counter and then just make your way to the table and wait for your food to be brought over. Limited seating but being slightly off the main road this wasn't a problem for us. Food was delicious - we have the two curries that the menu offers when we visited, as well as the elderflower cordial, which was also very pleasant. We ordered a green tea ice cream/gelato for dessert, which was marked as vegan (as is nearly everything here) but when it was served, it was done so with a drizzle of honey - and so just eaten by my vegetarian partner instead. Nonetheless, they accept IC cards as a means of payment, and have a range of things available for takeaway, including instant ramen pots (the Tan-Tan one is very good)

Pros: Reasonably priced delicious food, Snacks and other items available to takeaway, Friendly and calm atmosphere

Cons: Honey put on vegan dish, Limited seating in the rare instance of being busy

Could be better

I agree with the earlier comment that the vegan curries taste like the ones sold at supermarkets. It's tasty but not freshly made. The curry came with no toppings or condiments making it a rather simple dish. In any case, it's nice that vegan options are available in Miyajima.

Pros: Cozy place

Delicious!

I tried the soy meat spinach curry, mugwort rice milk latte, and roasted green tea soy gelato, and each one was excellent. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the peaceful atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable.

They also sell vegan cup noodles if you’re looking for a convenient backup option for your trip!

Vegan curry and soy gelato

I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident and it has a very calm atmosphere. It has some vegan curry options, I got the spinach and soy curry with rice and it was delicious.

For dessert I had the green tea gelato, also delicious. This place is definitely a gem and a must!

Pros: Calm, Healthy

Majority vegan menu

I stumbled across this place and was surprised to see over half the menu was vegan! I had already eaten lunch but stopped for an ice cream. The island is full of ice cream places but no vegan options so it was nice to be able to have something here.
The matcha taste was good and the cafe has a nice, ready atmosphere.
They sell vegan cup ramen noodles here too.

Pros: Many vegan options, Cute cafe

Ready made vegan food, served with heart

This little cafe/shop is a lovely oasis on often crowded Miyajima. It's small but very welcoming. The young couple who run it started serving boil in the bag vegan curry with rice as they felt awful that there was so little for vegans to eat on the island.
The vegan soy gelato is YUM! And they have a stock of T's vegan cup noodles to eat in or take home.
They also have interesting drinks - check the menu for dairy, honey and what kind of sugar is used.
You can also pick up unique souvenirs here made by independent creators.

Perfect after hike to Mt Misen

On the way down I found this little restaurant which is so nicely decorated. As you can see on the menu, most items are vegan. I loved this place.
Curry was great as well as the ice cream (sorbet).
