Tasty, colourful dishes, served with a smile! - Edit
Pleasant venue; quiet and relaxing.
Read moreWe had the ramen and the curry, which were served swiftly and presented well.
The flavours in the dishes were good and balanced. I was still a bit hungry after the curry, but maybe because I had walked 7 miles beforehand!
Pros: Service and environment., Great ramen and iced soya matcha.
Cons: Portion size a bit small for the curry., Not quite hot enough (temperature).

Almost completely vegan - Edit
It’s almost completely vegan. It seems they offer cow milk as option for matcha latte (together with soy and almond milk), but the lunch food menu was completely vegan.

A great spot if in Gion area! - Edit
This was a great find! I was exploring the Gion area in Kyoto and found this via the app. They have a small selection of vegan dishes to choose from such as soy ramen (with soy protein meat!) a vegetable curry and a rice dish I forgot the name of. I had the soy ramen and it was delicious. They had some matcha drinks available such as an iced latte which you could have with a milk alternative such as oat milk. They had a drink station with barley tea (pretty sure this was free?) and water which was nice. The waitress was welcoming and the environment relaxing. It was the perfect spot to recharge after a busy few hours walking.

Clean, tasty lunch - Edit
We were looking for a gluten free and vegetarian lunch and this place delivered that in a sunny, peaceful setting! We had ramen, dango, and the apple pie -- all delicious and a treat. There were complimentary teas available but we ordered matchas which were very good too. Great and accommodating little spot!

Pricey and underwhelming - Edit
We had shoyu ramen and rice bowl. Cannot say that we liked any of it. It was very plain and simple, but way too salty. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Nice Ramen, Burger meh - Edit
The Ramen was delicious and good portion.
Read moreThe burge was a bit disappointing, because it was small and only salad and patty, no other veggies. (Had a mayonnaise inside though) There was no fries only a hand full of potato chips? (looked and tasted like just bought ones)

Great lunch spot! - Edit
Came here after watching a Kabuki performance and ordered their homemade ginger ale and soy meat bowl. It really hit the spot. The menu shows a picture of a bowl with fresh lettuce, but we got just a scoop of sautéed veggies. Wished we got the lettuce to make little wraps out of but overall still a very tasty and not heavy meal.
