Tasty soba noodles

Was nice to have warm soba noodles on a cold evening, since I was interested in trying the local dish. On the last page of the menu there is the specific vegan menu - with vegan broth. Other options include tofu, soy beans, salad etc.

Pros: Nice atmosphere, Large portions, Easy to understand English menu

Cons: Cold tofu was bit bland

Great easy option near station

So... there is a possibility that the tempura can be made in vegan batter, but I did not try to ask for this.

When it comes to other menu items: you can order soba dishes and ask for soy sauce as dipping sauce instead. There are also a few small sides that are vegan friendly (edamame, tofu).
Overall the soba noodles are quite good, service is great, and restaurant is ok! Very close to the station :-)

Limited vegan options

Other review was either misinformed or things have changed here. Only small appetizers are able to be vegan, no soba or tempura options.

GREAT soba restaurant - right in heart of Nagano

Brilliant restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. We asked if the tempura batter was vegan, and the chef made us an egg-free batter without us even asking. Amazing tempura dishes. Authentic soba (dish of Nagano). Literally across the road from Nagano Station.

Pros: Great soba, Sensational tempura, Extremely helpful staff
