Serves fish, vegan options available. Hemp-focused organic cafe and bar located at street-level beneath Magokoro Restaurant (non-veg) and is across the street from Kamakura Beach on the main road. Closest station is Hase. Menu is mostly vegan apart from a couple of fish dishes. Offers vegan set lunches and other foods with hemp seeds incorporated. Ask for the English menu.

Lucky surprise!

I had the vegan hemp pancake burger. To be honest, I did not know what to expect with this combination (pancake burger?!) but it was heavenly! The location is right at the beach overlooking the sea. Unfortunately the street can get quite noisy but it still has a nice vibe. I don’t know why there are two listing for this venue (one vegan and one veggie-friendly) on happy cow but when we went they definitely had non-vegan items on the menu. Would definitely recommend it for a nice lunch close to the beach.

Beach front cafe with cool ambience

A small cafe selling hemp pancake vegan burgers. Set on the beach front the interior is small and industrial but food is great. Service was wonderful and we watched the waiter (owner?) create the most wonderful looking roasted coffee for some other guests. Burger was delicious and we sat watching the sea.

Pros: Vegan menu and delicious vegan burger, Cool interior , Friendly atmosphere

The charismatic and friendly owner offers both a vegan and vegetarian set lunchm which is delicious. He also understands gluten intolerance and makes every effort to provide a GF alternative.

Opposite the beach, the cafe is charming and quirky, and not to be missed.

Pros: Vegan and glutenfree options, , great atmosphere

Tasty food, great textures, healthy lunch plate

Lovely food and relaxing style restaurant. Couple of vegan and vegetarian options. Tempeh plate with hemp rice, salad, and pickles and Vegan curry. All the dishes have some form of hemp ingredient, or you can add CBD oil as additional cost.
The owner proses himself in healthy, home cooking, fermentation, fresh local produce.

One of my favourite places to go In kamakura. Good price and (large) portion size

Vegan tempeh is sweet, sticky and great texture! Rice is perfect and super healthy!

They offer coffee, tea, herbal teas, beer, local drinks and even dandelion coffee alternative

Sell hemp products, cbd oil, clothing, shoes, zero waste, specialty salt.

Pretty location overlooking Kamakura beach

Pros: Tasty food, Good price and portion size , Good location

Great Ambiance, Tasty Food

Magokoro’s location can’t be beat. We sat right by the window with a beautiful view of the ocean. The host was friendly, accommodating, and spoke English very well. We came during “tea time” between lunch and dinner, so the full menu was not available. However, the host easily accommodated us with hot yuzu ginger tea and cool peach juice, two plates of veggie curry with added tempeh, and a brownie for dessert. Although the restaurant serves fish, everything else appears to be vegan, including the breads and desserts. The host encouraged us to come back again to try the full vegan set during lunch. I think we will!

Pros: Great location and view, Extensive vegan menu, Friendly and accommodating staff

Cons: Full menu not available between lunch and dinner

Charming little café with a chill vibe and great burgers

We went there with my friends yesterday and we choose 3 vegan burgers and were not disappointed at all! The buns are made from hemp pancake. The patty was a mystery (but with a great texture!) and the sauce was delicious.
The owner make everything from scratch so expect to wait but you can listen to the jazz music in the bar, have a drink and watch the sea... I really enjoyed my lunch here.
The owner speak a very decent English and he also can speak French !

Pros: Great quality food, Nice little café in front of the sea, Nice owner

Friendly, fast, fresh

Curries, daily set meals, pasta, desserts, organic wine, draft beer, lassi, smoothies, sake— this vegan-friendly restaurant on the beachfront at Yuigahama is one of the few open “late” for dinner in the off-season, and though hemp is the featured ingredient, there’s a lot of variety in the menu and the staff can explain all of the dishes and whether they are vegan, vegetarian or other. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed and welcoming. Service was quick and attentive; there is an English menu and a small selection of hemp and artisanal products for sale. My curry platter had a generous portion of tempeh (not easy to find in Japan), crunchy raw veggie salad , herbed rice, potato salad , and an agreeably spicy chutney. We had a fun chat with the multi-lingual owner at the end of the evening.

Pros: Vegan and vegetarian friendly , Comfortable seating and beach views, Reasonable prices

Meh

English below👇 長谷駅からほど近い『麻心』というか店に行ってきました。

店じゅうに麻、ヘンプのものがあります。麻炭、麻コーヒー、麻ネックレス、とにかく麻だらけです。

店は雰囲気は良いですがあまり広くはなく、順番待ちの客の居場所がなく、狭い通路を塞いでしまう格好になってしまいます。これは食べている客も、待っている客もとても気まずいので改善していただきたい所です。

15分ほど待って席に案内されましたが、人数分の水を出してくれなかったり、オーダーを取るのにかなり待たされたりなど、不満がありました。

今回注文したのはタコライスで、とても美味しかったですが、フロアスタッフの少なさから対応があまりに遅く、食後にデザートを食べようと思っていましたが、取りやめて帰る事にしました。

改善する所は多いですが、とても良い店になれると思います。今後の発展に期待しています。

Magokoro is a small restaurant overlooking the beach in Kamakura (closest station: Hase). They have a few fish dishes but everything else is vegan, I think. The interior was rustic and charming, and the place had a really nice, chill vibe, with a spectacular view of the ocean.

Unfortunately, we didn’t pick a great time to go— on a sunny summer Sunday, for lunch. The restaurant was totally full, with a long line of people waiting outside, and there was only one server. He was doing his best, but it took a really long time to get anything, including cups for water.

I got the taco rice (1180 yen), which was delicious but a little small. We wanted to order dessert but when we told the waiter, he said “Please wait, I’ll be right back.” Ten minutes later, we just paid the check and left. I’m not in any hurry to come back here.

The burger was amazing!!!

After a week in Japan I had really struggled to find good vegan options. When I came to Kamakura this was one of the only vegan restaurants showing as open on a Wednesday so I thought I’d give it a go. Best decision!!! The vegan pancake burger was amazing. I’ve never had anything like it. I would HIGHLY recommend.

We went there on our first day in Kamakura and it was so good we had to return again the next day before catching the train back to Tokyo. We didn't try the sweets but they had a few selections. Hemp cakes, hemp ice cream, brownies etc.
Very friendly staff that speaks good english.

A gem across from the beach

Cool little beach bar that has a simple menu with items that seem to be made from scratch by the owner/operator (who can also speak English quite well). We had the teriyaki veg burger which not only tasted amazing but was also generously portioned for ¥1000. Of course, beer, etc., great coffee and dessert are also available. Food service stops around 4 or 5pm but continues as a bar until midnight. A great option in Kamakura!

Pros: Excellent food, Cool vibe, Friendly staff

very nice staff and good food

Lovely restaurant with a view on the sea. The ambiance was really cosy, and we enjoyed discussing with staff and poeple there. We went with a 7months old baby, and the staff has been great with him, giving him small baby/child games, and proposing us different adapted services (changing table/ baby chair) which is common in Japan but always appreciated. We didn't wait for the food, service was really fast and we enjoyed the diversity of taste in the meals we ordered. Portions were normal for Japan (not really big). I did not like the sweets, but my husband found them great, even if a bit small. Price were not exaggerated. I would have definitely come back and enjoy the place and food there, if I had stayed longer in the area. As far as I understood, they also regularly organize concerts on evening, which can be interesting.

Pros: Good diversity in vegan options

so yummy!

This restaurant is on the second floor with a view overlooking Kamakura beach. The ambience was great and the food was super tasty! My kids loved it too. The only downside was that we waited 30 min for our food. Not unusual for Japan and certainly worth the wait but long for two young children. The vegan dishes were clearly marked on the English menu and confirmed by the waiter. Will definitely be back!

Nice staff nice food

The potato chips with soy cheese sauce was such a bomb! I recommend anyone to get some as a side dish. The staff is really nice and understands what vegan means. However they don't seem to have anything to use to dry your hands in the toilets??

Pros: Many vegan options, Nice vegan cheese sauce , Beautiful space

Cons: Sort of Expensive but worth it , No way to dry your hands in the toilet

delicious dinner by the sea

This tucked-away gem wrapped up a lovely day exploring Kamakura. With ocean views from every table in the cozy restaurant, the ambience alone is worth checking out, but the food tops off the experience. I had a fantastic curry bowl topped with the best tempeh I've ever had. The owners are super sweet too. Highly recommended!

Pros: lots of vegan options, healthy food, good variety

Recommend

Chill vibes and vegan food in front of the beach? Yes please! This restaurant is a place you can relax with some healthy handmade food. I enjoyed the space a lot, the decoration is very personal (by the owner) and the chill vibes make it unique and different to the so frequent chain restaurants in Japan. The shop where they sell things was also interesting to see, as well as the hemp products! I’ve never been in a place so focused on the benefits of hemp. The lunch menu was not impressive but good, I enjoyed! I ordered the vege plate and have to say the tempeh was soft and delicious. My partner got the fish version and didn’t like it so much since “nothing was special about it”. The best part was the dessert. Sometimes, I find that vegan cakes can taste dry, but these ones (chocolate tofu brownie and hummingbird cake) were moist and rich in flavour. Probably the best vegan cakes I’ve eaten to the day!

Pros: Vegan option, Good vibes, Delicious dessert

Cons: None

Great vibes!!!

Would give 5 stars but the app doesn’t allow me as it’s not a fully vegan restaurant. Loved the place and the staff, so kind and funny! I has the veg curry with tempeh (YUM!) and a side of fried potatoes with soy cheese. I really enjoyed!

Beautiful view, Delicious food

A shop on the second floor with a beautiful ocean view. Come here for lunch after seeing the Kamakura Daibutsu. There was only the plate available for lunch vegan options when we went, but it was an impressive spread with salad, pickles, rice, seaweed, turnips, potatoes and wheat gluten fried mock meat. You can also order without the mock meat "main" for 300 yen off (maybe if you have a gluten allergy), or get extra for 300 yen more. Would give 5 stars If there were more options and 100% vegan...

Pros: Beautiful view, Delicious food

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Muy rico y un gusto único

Muy buen ambiente. Platos de buen tamaño. Todo con muy buen sabor. Recomiendo especialmente el tempeh y el seitán. Las personas hablan español.

Pros: Ofrece seitán y tempeh.

Cons: Un poco caro (pero lo vale)
