Increíble - Edit
Alcancé a ir cuando todavía era sólo vegano y el set de comida fue maravilloso. Fui dos noches, y la comida estaba muy rica. La dueña es muy amable y el local muy cozy.

Great and healthy vegan plates - Edit
Great vegan food plate! The place is not 100% vegan anymore, as they serve animal foods on their night/wine openings. Lunch hours are fully vegan though.

What a wonderful experience!!!! - Edit
Finding vegan food in a country with an animal-based diet is no easy task, so I was so happy to find this restaurant . Amazing food, friendly staff, and a lovely, cozy place. It totally made my day!

Cute vegetarian spot near the docks - Edit
It is not fully vegan, since they offer dairy in some of their drinks and maybe in the vegetarian bowl. The daily lunch is vegan though, and it is a rare sight in this city.
Read moreThe food is fine. I had seitan schnitzels as the main item, which was tasty but way too salty. Beside that some veggies, white rice and miso as usual. Warabi mochi for dessert (which I dislike). Overall, not very filling, but nice and easy.
The staff is cute and friendly, asked me various questions.
No shoes allowed. Credit cards accepted.

A great surprise find in Hakodate - Edit
My friend and I were stopping over in Hakodate and were struggling to find a vegetarian dinner option for the two of us, and we came across Taom! Feels like you’re being invited into a living room and given a meal. Rotates often, great selection of wine, and incredible service. Would highly recommend if you’re in Hakodate!

Fantastic experience and food - Edit
The further north we travel in Japan, the more difficult it seems to be able to find good vegan food. Taom was our saviour in Hakodate, providing us an exquisite, beautifully presented warm meal on a winter night so cold, that the front door had frozen over and the staff had to flood the entry with boiling water to unfreeze it so we could enter.
Read moreWe got ourselves a couple of vegan plates which were a very mild curry and a variety of vegetables, all which tasted incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful, like being invited into someone’s living room and having a meal prepared for you by a dear friend.
We would absolutely come back if we ever find ourselves in Hakodate. Thank you so much for the beautiful meal!

Excellent - Edit
Another gem in Hakodate! The host is one of the loveliest people we met on our trip. She is very sweet, welcoming and helpful.
Read moreThe menu is a set menu, based on what's is available that day and is some of the tastiest food we ate in Japan. It included a drink and a dessert. The miso soup was some of the nicest I've ever had.
Pros: The host, The taste, The price

Unique little place - Edit
Only open Fridays and Saturdays, we didn’t book ahead but it wasn’t busy so easy to get a seat even though the place is quite small. Only one option of a set dinner (with or without small dessert). The day we were there the set meal was a selection of vegetable dishes and tofu prepared in many different ways, pickles, soup and rice, with mochi for dessert. All very tasty and a great selection. Nice to have a good range of vegetables as that can be tricky to find when eating out. Good wine selection, had some very nice orange wine. Host was very kind and service was great. Definitely try it out if you are in Hakodate on a Friday or Saturday.

Lovely meal - Edit
This is one of the few vegetarian restaurants in Hakodate, and it was delicious! It’s mostly open for lunch, but I was able to go the one night a week it’s open for dinner (Saturday night). The owner is very kind and spoke English. The food was delicious, there was only one vegan plate on the menu, she just made me up a plate. It came with green tea, delicious miso soup with mushrooms in it, the freshest rice I’ve ever eaten. The plate had this amazing homemade fried seitan, miso eggplant; braised burdock root, edamame, a yuzu carrot salad, and a lettuce salad with a tasty miso dressing. It also came with a mini dessert, there were several vegan and gluten free options available. I asked for her favorite: a mochi like cube with matcha dust and an almost chocolate fermented black bean sauce. I also had a glass of the orange wine, it was a delicious Hokkaido wine! Highly recommend! The restaurant is also super cute, decorated with the owners collection of souvenirs from living in Uzbekistan. Wear socks, you will remove your shoes upon entry. A must visit!

Amazing vegan lunch - Edit
We arrived at Taom quite late in the afternoon, but the owners was very happy to oblige and make us the vegan lunch plate of the day. The food was delicious, so many flavours and lots of little treats to choose from. The owner also recommended another local spot serving vegan food nearby for our dinner!
