Lovely place - Edit
Such a welcoming and calming place! There are few seats so we made a reservation but we were the only ones anyway. There were a few different flavors of omurice (curry, tofu scramble...) and some other dishes we didn't try.
Read moreThe food was great (definitely a highlight in our trip) and the owner was lovely. She doesn't speak much english but she will try her best to chat with you, even if it means pulling up a translator. Please support this small business if you happen to be in Shizuoka :)

Fluffy "eggs" omurice - Edit
Been hearing about omurice for a while as a staple of Japanese cuisine, and we finally managed to find the right place, and we were not disappointed!

100% Vegan & Gluten-Free Café - Edit
Vedge de la Mode is an absolute must-visit for plant-based food lovers! This 100% vegan and gluten-free café offers a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere, complete with relaxing music and the soft sounds of birds in the background.
Read moreThe highlight of the menu is the Om Rice, a fully vegan version of the Japanese classic, made using a secret method only known to the owner. It comes in three delicious variations: tomato sauce, curry sauce, and classic sauce. In addition, there are vegan pasta and curry options, each served with a fresh salad and soup, making for a hearty and satisfying meal.
The owner is incredibly kind and prefers that guests reserve in advance. Lunch starts at 2 PM, and dinner is from 5 PM, but she understands that foreign visitors may not be able to call in Japanese, so she happily welcomes walk-ins. If you can speak Japanese, she would appreciate a reservation via phone. Online bookings are also available through her Instagram and LINE account—check my images for details.
For those driving, there are two free parking spaces right in front of the restaurant.
If you’re looking for a completely vegan and gluten-free dining experience in a warm and peaceful setting, Vedge de la Mode is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss!

Excellent vegan food made with love - Edit
I was so happy to find this place. The restaurant itself is small with a calming atmosphere. There are two parking spaces out front and on a one-way street. It has two tables and a counter with several spots perfect for a solo traveler. The bathroom was great - spacious, beautiful and with lots of books!
Read moreOn to the food! I got the curry and it came with salad, soup, a dessert and a drink (coffee, tea or Japanese tea). The curry was half green and half red separated by rice and vegetables in the center. Fantastic flavors and such a beautiful presentation. Check out the photos. I also ordered the spaghetti with vegetables and fresh herbs to go. Delicious!
The owner is also very kind.
Highly recommend. Cash only.
Pros: Tasty food, Healthy food, All vegan! 🤗

Rich flavorful meal and tea - Edit
Dining here for lunch I discovered rich flavorful meals and tea. The menu was small and the prices were a little higher than other area vegan lunch plates, but as I discovered when ordered the curry meal, it was a fine meal which included a salad appetizer, the entree served with a selection of teas and a small fruit item for dessert. Everything was exceptionally rich and seemed as through the owner had curated a wonderful nuanced and balanced flavor where everything complemented the rest as a dining experience. I left completely satisfied.

Amazing food, a little expensive - Edit
I had the vegan (soft) omurice and it was really good! I was surprised to find vegan omurice in Shizuoka! They served two kinds, a soft “runny” version and one a little more firm.
Read moreMy friend got the curry of the day and it was fantastic! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it.
The owner was friendly and happy to talk with us. :)
I would definitely recommend this place!
Pros: Delicious, Friendly staff, Rare options for Shizuoka
Cons: Expensive

Delicious! - Edit
I had lunch here today with my friend and her daughter. After living in Japan for over 19 years I finally got to eat omurice! It was really good. The others had the hamburg which they said was good too. The lunch plate came with salad, soup and a drink. I loved everything.

Elegant vegan set course restaurant - Edit
Vedge a la mode has an elegant feel with beautifully plated dishes. The cuisine is a mix of Japanese and western and it was delicious! The food comes out in courses, so I felt fancy eating there. The restaurant is 100% vegan and they also have some gluten-free options for those who need that and the restaurant seems understanding of dietary restrictions and needs in general, so I think this would be a good place if you're a vegan with allergies.
Read moreMy friend and I got two different dishes and then split them, which ended up being wonderful because we got to try so many different foods on the menu. My friend got the omurice, which is a Japanese classic that I had never tried, and it was amazing!
Come and give this place some love! :)
