Special Place - Edit
Off the beaten Path, but it’s worth it. Lots of food, really delicious, only the „gratin“ (???) was not my kind of taste. Friendly staff and quiet atmosphere.

Simple place with great chef - Edit
The place has a simple interieur. The menu is always the same and you can decide how much dessert or portions of "chefs choice" you would like. There is only rice available, no noodles or so on. The food is creative and a mix of new and old.

Disappointing - Edit
We took the big (top pick) set menu. Most of the food wasn't tasty or didn't have much taste.

Macrobiotic Set Meal - Edit
Takano is located in a quiet residential neighborhood about 20 minutes by bus from the central entertainment and hotel districts. There’s an English menu with a few choices, ranging from miso soup and pickles to a multi course chef’s special that includes tea, soup, salad, pickles, croquettes, rice, two desserts, grain coffee and more for 2500 yen. The same special in smaller portions is also on the menu, so plan accordingly to prevent food waste. Cash only.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
Wow wow wowwww best meal in Japan yet! This little place has amazing whole plant foods with so much variety. Amazing value for money as well. We loved everything. Dishes with the chefs set came with a grain coffee and deserts which were incredible. Wow. Cannot recommend this place enough especially for those looking for quality and healthy vegan food. You can see how much love goes into preparing these meals. Little English but that was okay for us. This place is a bit out of the way but so worth it. We went to a Sake place nearby for a testing and then walked to Takano. Honestly such good food! I'm so happy we went and I would go again for sure! Totemo oishi, arigatou gozaimasu

Incredible - Edit
The food here was absolutely amazing! It is a humble restaurant out of the way, with one man running the whole show. Limited English but not a problem at all. So many dishes on the set menu, 11 for the small portion set menu. Portions were generous, even for the small. I would highly recommend visiting this small but incredible restaurant.

Great Experience - Edit
We went there for late lunch/early dinner, 3p.m. and we were the only guests. The owner (?) understands a few words in english and was friendly.
Read moreWe both had the Chefs Set with dessert and grain coffee (one small size 1900¥, one normal 2500¥)
We didn't know many of the dishes before and some things weren't to our taste to be honest. BUT it was a great experience and for me it was authentic Japanese food.
I would recommend everyone to try it!

Macrobiotic restaurants in the outskirts of Kanazawa - Edit
I love that there is a place with a vegan Japanese style set menu in Kanazawa. Albeit a little out of the way. The flavour of the dishes was partly not my favourite, but some where really good. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice and the value for money is good. We had 2 set menus with desserts for 1900¥ per person . The portions are indicated as small but I found them to definiyely be large enough.

Amazing traditional vegan food - Edit
There is a menu in English, it's just the chef's choice and you can add desserts or coffe (or both) I really love it. It worth the bus travel. It was amazing

Vegan Set Meal - Edit
For a city as big and culture-filled as Kanazawa, the vegan options are severely lacking. However, just a little bit out of the central area, Takano is the place to go!

One of the best vegan places I've been to ever - Edit
Small restaurant, but lots of seating. All vegan. The owner/chef was very nice and there is an English menu. There are a few really awesome sounding options that have been taken off since COVID, due to less travelers. But the owner is clearly very dedicated to providing really clean, natural food that also tastes insanely good. The platters are teishoku style (many small dishes) and it is insanely filling and delicious, especially for the price. I can't overstate how great this place was. The food was probably the best vegan food I've had in Japan.

Fabulous Feast - Edit
We enjoyed our Chef’s special and sample of 3 desserts. There was a wonderful combination of flavours in the savoury dishes and the desserts included a creamy one (sesame based) which went beautifully with a cake (?ginger) and there was a purple icecream (?grape/plum). Every was enjoyable, staff were friendly and the English menu made it very easy for us to order. We would gladly eat here again.

PHONE BEFORE YOU GO! - Edit
maybe closed Wednesday? We got a cab out there from town as the app said it was open and we couldn’t phone as our Japanese is so bad- but when we arrived it was shut 😂😭😂

Hi, sorry you found them closed. I checked with the venue and they confirmed the opening hours are correct. However, they may close earlier if food runs out so maybe that is what happened.

cozy out of the way and delicious - Edit
We are visiting Kanazawa and found this out of the way vegan place a couple of miles from our hotel. The atmosphere is bright and casual and the food was well prepared and delicious. Despite having no language in common, the cook/waiter made us feel right at home. A bilingual menu, mime, and even bit of pictionary sufficed to make one another understood. Well worth the trip off the beaten path.

Not worth it. - Edit
I've had better food. I ate here because I was in the neighbourhood, but it's definitely not something I'll go a long way for.
Read moreI had the multigrain burger, which really isn't a burger as much as a large semi-cooked/baked patty. The taste was fine, but the somewhat uncooked patty was hard to finish, so I left half of it on my plate which then makes my meal at たかの somewhat expensive.
He closed shop after I left at 17:30, so only come for a late lunch or early dinner.
Pros: All vegan, English menu
Cons: No English-speaking staff
