Amazing experience

All hands down for this place. Super nice ambience, mega kind staff and perfect food.
We had matcha tea harvested from Fuji mountain and a Omakaze sushi plate, both so delicious. Juat look at the pictures. 😀
A must go.

Pros: Mega awesome friendly kind staff, Sushi, Matcha

Sehr gut

Etwas versteckt, sehr gutes Sushi.
Gute Aussicht über Kyoto. Preislich etwas höher angesetzt aber meiner Meinung nach lohnt es sich.

Pros: Tempura

Absolutely jaw-dropping

Went with my omni family and it got them closer to considering veganism!

The place is simply beautiful with its view over Kyoto's city and mountainscape, the food is delicious and you can even get an oriental vegan option for a bit of extra money!😄Perfect atmosphere to enjoy vegan sushi.

My favourite were the tempura and vegan meat, you can re-order single pieces after ordering the whole set.

Good sushi option

I had eaten at the Tokyo branch and was excited to eat here too. The menu is a little different with fewer pieces of sushi and a selection of little side dishes instead.

The sushi was well seasoned with good toppings. None of us were very keen on the scrambled egg. The others were all good, the tuna is great and the pickled ginger packs plenty of flavour without being too ferocious. The matcha noodles were probably the highlight from the side dishes, the soy meat and agedashi tofu both suffered from being a bit cold and soggy. The miso soup was tasty too.

A good experience overall, with a few misses.

Really good sushi

We really liked the vegan sushi. You can see they put a lot of thought into the flavours. But it's expesive and we we're not full after. It was 3820 yen for one plate and you order a plate per person. Then you get all the food items they have. There is a cheaper menu fot 3100 yen or so and then you only get the sushi. Good place if you want to try good sushi as a vegan in Japan!

Delicious and gorgeous sushi

The best sushi I've had in Japan so far! The set meal contained several different sushi pieces that were well-thought out and delivered beautifully. Every piece was a treat.

Pros: The different flavors, Quality, Staff

Go here

The proprietor is great. The sushi is art. They're new in town as of this post (April 2025) and deserve the support. Be aware they are on the 5th floor and a bit tough to find. The scavenger hunt is absolutely worth the reward.

Charming, friendly, delicious

The friendly vegan proprietor has a great thing going here, serving sushi obanzai with a diverse array of creatively crafted tasty morsels in a serene spot with a charming view of the river and the mountains from the tables by the windows. Worth the trip to give it a try.

Here, one first orders a standard set meal (with substitutions allowed) and then if you’re still peckish after that you can top up à la carte.

Note it’s on the 5th floor of the building, which you can reach either by the stairs or by the lift just behind them.

Recommended. Enjoy!

Brilliant Vegan Omakase!

Loved this! The restaurant has been only open a few weeks and has a set meal as it develops and it was a real treat! We both ordered three extra elements, and thoroughly enjoyed this fledgling restaurant, even if it’s not the first location. Give it a try!!!

Pros: The egg!, Variety, Ability to order more!

Cons: Online payment was a little fiddly

Amazing Vegan Sushi

This is the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Each piece is a work of art and tastes even better than it looks. It comes with vegan Obanzai.

Pros: Amazing presentation, Delicious and unique flavours, Fresh ingredients

Incredible

An amazing sushi place with kind staff. They packed the sushi for us so we wouldn't miss our shinkansen. I was blown away with the sushi - it was so delicious. Only regret...not ordering more!!!

Pros: Delicious , Staff, Cute interior

The best vegan sushi

This restaurant is located inside of a building which is a little hidden from the main roads, there was only a plate to choose which has different sushi types, a soup and other delicious things. Everything was nice and well prepared. It is a must try when in Kyoto. It only accepts electronic payment when ordering with the menu. We got some difficulties so the owner helped us with a contactless payment option.

Very good!

Rarely will you taste vegan sushi that had had this much effort and thought put into it.

Every piece of the lunch we had was something new and interesting.

Definetly worth the trip!
