Before you go
A vegan restaurant built around the idea that you can choose with confidence when eating out: no animal ingredients, suitable for people with allergies, vegans/vegetarians, and the health-conscious. The menu centers on set meals: seasonal vegetable steamer teishoku ¥2,500, 3-kind teishoku ¥2,200, tofu-hamburger / okara-fry / miso-katsu teishoku at ¥1,800 each; plus ramen sets (sesame soy-milk ramen, Sichuan-style tantanmen, rice-flour noodles with gluten-free soy sauce, all marked vegan & gluten-free) and desserts like tiramisu parfait and soy-milk soft serve. The official menu lists prices, calories and vegan/gluten-free labels.
