Delicious food and lovely staff - Edit
Ate here with my omnivorous family but majority of the menu was vegan and the staff were so excited and accommodating. Lots of delicious options including desserts and takeaway cookies and other goodies. The staff had very good English and were super friendly. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere with delicious comforting food.

Spicy ramen is a must! - Edit
The cutest little restaurant with plenty of vegan options. We absolutely adored our waitress who was so friendly. I had the spicy ramen which is my favourite ramen EVER! Also had the curry, fried ‘meat’, and gyoza.

Tasty food - Edit
Really lovely café/restaurant. The friendly waitress was able to guide me as to what vegan options were gluten free. Had a really yummy sweet & sour dish. And even had a stunning chocolate cake. They have a takeaway menu too, so I was able to get something for lunch the next day.

Really excellent owner-run little restaurant - Edit
Lovely little restaurant with a predominantly vegan and vegetarian menu. (There are a not many meat options). I would have liked to have given this more than 5 stars. Great food and very friendly service (English speaking and English menu). It’s a very nice cafe / small restaurant and very easy to find. Excellent value.

As with most of the Happy Cow entries for Japan, the opening hours are wrong.

Delicious food! - Edit
Cosy little restaurant, very popular in the area and can get busy at lunchtime. We had the vegan set menu with miso, brown rice, pickles and seitan. Also tried their mapo tofu and different desserts - all very tasty. NB: They will close when they sell out so it’s best to come early.

Best vegan sushi in Japan - Edit
We were in Osaka, consulted the Happy Cow app, and chose this restaurant. Except for one table, the place was empty.
Read moreIn retrospect, there was probably a sign in Japanese saying the restaurant was closed, because it was the owner's 61st birthday. But they served us anyway.
The vegan sushi was the best we experienced in Japan. The service was excellent. The value was great.
And we got to share Poppi's birthday. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Pros: Vegan sushi was outstanding, The service was excellent, The value was great; the experience outstanding

It won’t let me give 5 stars since it’s not full veg. But it’s 5 stars. - Edit
It was such a pleasant experience. The dog Limu was incredible and the owners were so so nice. They fed us a massive vegan feast that was easily the best food I’ve had in all my trips to Japan. Will 100% go back every time I’m in Osaka. Thanks for everything!

Extremely Disappointed! - Edit
We walked 20 minutes to get to this restaurant, which was meant to be open until 10-11pm, but when we arrived at 7pm they would not serve us as they were about to close. What a waste of our time!

Amazing Japanese cuisine - Edit
Delicious food with great care given to presentation and flavors. I had the impression that perhaps they expect more foreign customers for lunch, since only the lunch menu had an English translation, but the staff was happy to explain the menu. For dinner, there was one set course that was vegan, so there wasn't necessarily a lot of flexibility, but I felt taken care of with the chef's choices and being brought along on a journey of vegan Japanese dishes. The dishes were brought out one-by-one with explanations about each one, and with dessert, I thought it was a well-thought-out and filling amount of food for about 2500 yen. I had an excellent experience.
