Very cozy place - Edit
Vegetarien restaurant with many vegan options. The food is traditional. Combined with the fact that the owner handles the place alone, it is a great experience. Plus the food is very good.

Great food! - Edit
The owner was nice, and the food was great! The atmosphere was a little strange at first, as the restaurant is apparently also part stationary store that also sells some of the soy 'meats' they serve, but with vegan Japanese food this good, who can complain? :))

Lovely restaurant - Edit
The meat alternatives were great (all meat alternatives had their own taste and consistency). The okonomiyaki was also really tasty. We went there at 6PM and we were the only ones in the restaurant so we had a fast service (the owner works alone)

Friendly and delicious - Edit
I highly recommend this entirely vegan restaurant. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, you feel at the owner's home.
Read moreBut above all, cooking based on soy meat is delicious, you will be able to eat vegan karaage and vegan okonomiyaki. This is my favorite place to eat in Osaka Kita-ku!
Pros: friendly, delicious karaage, casual, ideal as a regular canteen

Tasty vegan yakitori! - Edit
After seeing all the chicken yakitori from the street vendors in Osaka, I was hoping to find a vegan version, and Aju has it! The yakitori comes with 5 skewers of different faux meats, all were super tasty and hit the spot. Very happy to dined here! There’s also a nice selection of cat statues, soy meats, and other things to buy near the entrance.

My absolute favorite !! - Edit
One of the best in Osaka !! I knew he was re-opened the place but the owner was asking me to wait to post it on HappyCow he was concerned that since his place is so small he would not be able to handle many guests.. so here’s some of owner chef’s ONEGAI (request) 1. Please come up to 4 people (max.) 2. He speaks very little English so sometimes communication will be a bit difficult. Lunch time sells Bento Box you can eat it with an additional price with rice and vegan miso soup!
