We had a wonderful time here, one of our favorite restaurants we ate at during out whole trip! It is a cozy and intimate spot with very friendly and talkative owner and chef. Tomo and Hana were a joy to chat with and made for a wonderful dinner with a lot of laughs! We had the Hamburg "steak" and ginger fried soy meat and chocolate cake for dessert. It was all delicious! Good portions too. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Kyoto

This was a very small, intimate space, staff was friendly, and the food came out pretty quickly. I loved the huge salad that came with the set! I needed those veggies after eating rich meals the entire trip. They recommended the dumplings and the hamburger steak so that’s what we ordered. Both were good. I got the canele which was very small but I enjoyed it. It was a very pleasant experience. Side note, they say they close after they run out of food, so I would recommend to get there on the early side.

This place not only serves food it is served with warmth and love. Hanna and Meike were just wonderful as hosts. They were well versed with Indian phrases as well. They were lovely to have a conversation and understand their whole philosophy of ingredients and vegan culture. They had fresh local vegetables. Some of them were seasonal and only local to Kyoto. We had dumplings and soya chunks. All their dishes are served with a big portion salad which has delicious dressing and a bowl of rice. You may add soy sauce as an extra. The seating is izakaya style and accommodates around 8 people at a time. They are building a second floor for more people. It’s in a small lane but properly marked. Lots of love to them and please visit when in Kyoto as it’s very near to the shrine and hardly 3-4 mins walking from the main entrance

Only 7 seats! May have to wait if busy. Lots of set option and all of them come with rice and salad. Salad bad Kyoto Radish which was beautiful in color. And there were three desserts also. Food and ambience were great!

Our family of 4 went there for lunch. Awesome food, colorful salad with touch of dressings. Perfectly cooked dumplings and fried soy based items for a reasonable price. It’s a small place with 8 bar counter space served well by a friendly English speaking owner.
