Authentic Japanese dessert shop and restaurant

Most of the dessert are vegan and the one I ate was delicious. For lunch or dinner there aren't many option (only one or two), but you can get a nice lunch set with rice, pickles and miso just like in Japan (and yes the miso vegan).

Good knowledge of vegan options

When we went I asked which wagashi were vegan with the usual animal ingredient list and did mention the red food dye made from insects. The staff knew about this but still double checked and then told us about which wagashi had beetroot as food coloring and which ones had carmin.

We opted for a simple monaka with anko and matcha.

Please do contact them about which items are vegan as they can assist you.

The matcha was very nice as it should be considering the price. The atmosphere was very relaxed but somewhat upscale.

Pros: Staff knowledgeable about vegan options , Relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Maybe upscale

A Japanese corner amidst busy Paris

Great choice of vegan, typically Japanese, desserts in a very 'zen' atmosphere.

Classy japanese tea room

Unique japanese tea room in paris, since 1980 ! The ambient is classy, the interior was entirely conceived with an architect. The staff is japanese , and very nice

Not everything is vegan but you can choose between a wide range of yokan (agar agar sweets) plus namagashi and mochi.

The food changes regularly, according to season, so you always have something new to pick!

You'll always have one or two vegan options among the lunch dishes, but be sure to ask it without the miso soup if you don't eat fish ( contains fish stock).

The place is popular so be sure to to book a table or at least come early.
