Ask for the vegan menu

Some very nice vegan dishes on the separate vegan menu. Also has dishes that can be made vegan or are already veggie. Nice atmosphere, decent value and very friendly fast service

Pros: Vegan menu , Friendly

Open again for winter season

Friendly staff and tasty vegan options. Separate vegan menu (see photo) but other options such as French fries are on the main menu. Indeed, all items are on the main menu but the separate vegan menu makes it easier. Be aware that, like many places in Hakuba, they are open for winter and not in the off-season (despite Google showing many as being open). If visiting in peak season, I recommend going early to get a seat.

Pros: Cozy, Friendly staff, Tasty, well-priced options.

Cons: Not open all year round. , Can be busy in peak periods.

SO MANY OPTIONS

So so many options & vegan labelled! Tofu galore. Some of the best tofu I’ve ever had in my entire life. The “Asuka homemade tofu” is what they use and it is insane. Felt like I was eating a creamy blended feta cheese. Served with an olive oil drizzle. Also their fried version (with soy sauce/onion garnish) was immaculate as well. Vegan labelled tempura, udon noodles, salad, mushroom skewers, veggie skewers, and even an apple tempura dessert (served with presumably non-vegan ice cream though). Best meal I’ve had in Japan.

Pros: So many options, TOFU, Veggies
