Delicious and healthy

Natural, homemade-cooking vibes near Umeda or subway Minamimorimachi station.

Just fine

While it wasn’t a bad meal by any stretch, I just wasn’t particularly impressed at any point in the meal. Everything tasted fine and there was nothing that had anything wrong, it was just all rather forgettable.

Woah this was good

8/10 food. Really tasty.

There is a really clear vegan menu and the host asked us if we were vegetarian / vegan when we sat down - she then explained the vegan options for me.

I opted for a soy meat and wheat cutlet set meal. The salads were tasty and the miso soup was amazing!

Pros: Miso soup, Salad dressings , Clear vegan menu

Loved it

Got takeout - a vegan set meal. Things were labelled vegan. I really loved that I couldn’t identify many of the foods in this meal, but enjoyed everything. Very light in taste and very healthy

Yum!

Walked in around 4:30pm, no reservation required for that time as there wasn’t many people in there. Got one of the meals with the soy fried bites. The meal came with a small salad, miso soup, rice, 2 types of soy fried bites and some sauce. Was super yummy, my partner who is a non-vegan really enjoyed the soy fried bites as well and tried to steal them off me.
Super friendly service as well, didn’t get an english menu so not sure if they have one available. Paid by card at the end.

Pros: Tasty, Super Friendly

Cons: Didn’t receive English menu

Great food!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious. While the decor was a bit plain, the food more than made up for it.

They have vegan omu rice!

Great restaurant. We (2people) were there at ~18:30 and we got a seat without reservation. The omu rice menu was delicious (and a lot!). The dessert (black sesame muffin) wasn’t my favourite.

Pros: Several vegan options, Good food

Cons: No English menu, but photos were helpful

Set meals, curry and coffee

Enjoyed the set meal of the day which was “meatballs” in black vinegar sauce, accompanied by a small pickle salads, miso and rice. Plenty of vegetables, a nice light meal. Japanese curry comes with small portion of vegetables a few choices of toppings. My partner ordered the one with wheat gluten and fried soy, they ran out of the wheat gluten so was only given 3 small pieces of fried soy, a substitute would have been appreciated for the price. They served beer which is great along with soy milk hot chocolate (pretty tasty) and coffees. By closing time there was just one vegan muffin left which had a good texture but I personally needed little more flavour. The atmosphere is casual, the server was friendly and spoke good English. We did make a reservation beforehand but this wasn’t checked so it is possible to just walk in if it’s not full (1-2 tables left on a Sunday evening)

Pros: Healthy set meal, lots of veggies, Close to Umeda station area, Friendly service

Cons: Quite pricey for what you get , No substitute for missing ingredient given

Loved it!

They have a lot of vegan options, including desserts. The english menu is shortened and has just 5 items, but the japanese menu has several pages. Staff knows english tho so they will help and recommend what to pick. New item on menu is vegan rice omelette, very good. No reservation needed.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Delicious food

Cons: English menu not whole

Good vegan options.

Very cozy place with a vegan menu. The soy-patty hamburger steak was soft and tasty. The curry was mildly spicy and tasty. Love the rice, glad that I ordered extra rice for both meals. Finished the curry with all the rice. So perfect!
Cakes and muffins have vegan choices too.

Pros: Good portion, vegan menu

Very enjoyable osechi cuisine

My family and I decided to order vegan Osechi ryori from this place this year to celebrate the special occasion. An assortment of colorful osechi dishes were fresh and simply delicious. We’d love to order their osechi ryori again next year.

Delicious Japanese vegan food

Much of the menu was vegan and clearly labeled. Some items were not vegan but the place is clearly catering to vegans primarily. Coffee shop, cool atmosphere, live music.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Faux meats
