Good for a shabu shabu discovery

You need to tell them in advance when you book the table thag you want the vegan menu (and you need to choose it out of 2 options: 5 ou 7 dishes)
The atmsophere: 100%
The food: it's a shabu shabu, and it's not as incredible as other food could be but you're here to try shabu shabu😉
The staff: absolutely lovely. However they do not speak english very well so make sure you have your phone to translate if there's the need.
The organsition: it was a bit tricky to understand how to behave, we got up to get the check at the end but we were supposed to wait so we got a bit embarrassed.

We did not know how it was organized so here's what we've observed:
Apetizers
They warm up the broth
They bring you the vegetables
They bring you the "vegan meat" (mochi/ yuba ; very interesting)
After finishing both
They bring you udon that you boil into the upgraded broth
Then you get a cup of hot tea :)

exquisite dinner for vegan and non vegan alike

amazingly tasty! very unique and colorful, so much variety!
awesome vegan shabu shabu! we werent able to find one before, this one gave us great different courses and our own put and had email contact before clarifying all our needs.
but, pricey. we payd roughly 50 € per person. we all thought it was worth it though.
contact before to reserve!
sitting on tatami mats in socks, but there are chairs.
i would totally recommend this location! (if its within your travel budget)

Pros: taste, wonderful service, hmmmm big yum

Cons: price (though worth it)

Expensive vegan shabu-shabu

The vegan shabu-shabu course menu starts with various cold and warm appetizers, then the shabu shabu and ends with a bowl of rice topped with negi and mock-meat and an orange as dessert.
The food was good the service friendly and the restaurant a very nice fusion of modern and traditional (same as the food).

The food was well seasoned and plenty. The presentation beautiful and the veriety was nice aswell.
They use a lot of tomato.
The food was an modern and traditional fusion of japanese cuisine.

In my opinion it is too expensive for what you get! I have eaten better foods at less expensive places in Kyoto but I give them the 4 stars because the food was good, had a nice variety and the whole experience was interesting.

Definitely something for very special times in my opinion!
