Show-Stopping! - Edit
Merrymomo was absolutely amazing - the staff is super friendly, the food options are creative and the shortcake was heavenly.
Read moreA little word of warning: the jambalaya was pretty spicy (I am pretty weak!), so I would advise refraining if you cannot handle that.
I definitely recommend getting the tempeh katsu topping too!!

Amazing ramen - Edit
I visited them for lunch. They had two lunch sets, one vegan the other with meat. I ordered vegan Mala ramen from the menu. It was amazing. The soup was full of flavours. The noodle had the perfect texture. highly highly recommended.

Amazing vegan breakfast - Edit
Very comfy place with lovely staff. We ordered brown rice with 4 side dishes and a black tea. Everything was vegan and super delicious! Totally recommend this place! They also sell vegan homemade cookies (also a dog‘s version with reduced sugar) and a variety of groceries and everyday products (e. g. washing detergent).

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.

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
