Counter selling oyaki, which are dumplings stuffed with different types of vegetables such as potato, pumpkin, mushroom, and/or red beans. All the varieties are vegan. Previously loocated in Midori department store (the sub-store called Oraho, 2F) which is part of the shopping malls in Nagano central train station. Located in the basement of hte shopping center. Take the escalator down and go straight ahead and take a right. Open Mon-Sun 9:00am-8:00pm.

Great! - Edit
These are great. Had two on the go and am planning to take a few tomorrow for the Shinkansen.
Read moreSome confusion about the location: there is still a stall inside the oraho part of midori mall (on 2F, booth 4). That’s were I went, because I couldn’t find the location according to the map.

Pretty good - Edit
Very convenient to have these right in the Nagano station! I tried oyaki for the first time in Chikuma and fell in love. These are still good, but nothing compares to the first time.

Worth the stop - Edit
Located on 2F of the Midori in Nagano Station. I shared the potato, pumpkin, green onion and mixed vegetable flavour. All great! They warm the buns for you to enjoy right away or you can take them away cold for another time.

Incredible! Best food I've eaten in Japan! - Edit
I tried 3 different flavours: a mixed veggie, a mushroom, and a sweet potato. They were all delicious!! Sweet potato was definitely my favourite. The stall is a little tricky to find, but the other reviewers have described it well. Go down the escalator, go straight, and it is in a little alley on the right. The staff were very friendly and had an English menu. I think they could sense my excitement. I will be going back to grab more before I leave Nagano!
Read moreI've been living up in Hokkaido for 4 months, where there are very few vegan options, especially in terms of Japanese cuisine. It's been a trear traveling Honshu and finding authentic meals. This has been the favourite so far!

Tried many of the savoury flavours they had. All very tasty. Hard to find something that good for the price. Good for train journeys/day trips too.

Great little spot. It's on the B1 floor (down one floor from the street level). So many delicious flavours but the best was the mixed vegetables.

Vegan or not, a must! - Edit
It is in Tokyu shopping center, in the base floor. Vegan Oyaki, typical food in Nagano, one of my favorites in Japan. There is another store near the Zenko ji temple. They have many choices, even seasonal food options.

Underrated Nagano Snack - Edit
I lived in Nagano 5 years ago and never fully appreciated oyaki! Now as a vegan, I love them! I got the mushroom and pumpkin and the mushroom was my favourite. So full of flavour. If you're waiting for a train or passing through get a couple to go! And they warm them up for you too. They really are a must-try. There's one in Nagano Station in midori and one near zenkoji.

Wow these are so good! - Edit
These were a perfect lunch after visiting Zenko Ji temple. We ordered an aubergine one and a cheese one and they were both great. The cheese one was a bit of a wildcard because the quality of cheese in Japan can be a bit mixed, but I think I slightly preferred it.

obsessed!! 😍 - Edit
This is pretty much my dream food. So delicious, easy to try lots of varieties, convenient to pack along for your day trip or eat right away (nobody would judge you for that either).
Read moreWe tried all 9 varieties and enjoyed them all though we were less into the adzuki bean (maybe just a bit too many mochis consumed to fully enjoy it?) We got them for lunch at the JR station and they warmed them up for us (in the microwave).
Ended up passing the stall by the temple later which looked sweet too with benches outside to enjoy. Picked up more at the station to bring back with us for dinner. Suffice to say, I’m obsessed already. 😍
The location is very easy to find in the station and there’s some open seating across from the stall if you want to enjoy right away. Highly recommend when you’re next in Nagano! 😋
Pros: Delicious, Good price, Lots of variety

Delicious oyaki! - Edit
We basically pigged out on oyaki, as I'm a bit nervous about where I'll get my next meal from in Japan! Nice to have local food, not have to struggle with language/working out if something can be made vegan and for it to be delicious! We had the following oyaki and would recommend them all 😜: mixed veg, radish, pumpkin, mushroom and some sort of green veg. Enjoy!
