Reviews
We had the Vegan Nagashi Somen set. It came with a guarantee that no animal products had been used in the meal and that even seperate fryers were used during cooking. The entrees were so delicious I really enjoyed the Yakitori style skewer. The flowing Soba was such a fun thing to do and its a must especially when it's hot outside. The staff were extremely patient and kind even though our Japanese was very poor and they didn't speak much English. They were very gracious and polite Overall a very enjoyable meal and and fantastic Japanese style experience to finish off our trip. 10/10
We took the vegan sushi course and it was wonderful. Now we want to try all the vegan courses they offer ✨
We were able to enjoy vegan food in a traditional Japanese izakaya style setting. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Reservations are required for the course menu.
