Serves fish, vegan options available. Hemp-focused organic cafe and bar located at street-level beneath Magokoro Restaurant (non-veg) and is across the street from Kamakura Beach on the main road. Closest station is Hase. Menu is mostly vegan apart from a couple of fish dishes. Offers vegan set lunches and other foods with hemp seeds incorporated. Ask for the English menu. A small shop inside sells crafts and handmade soaps. Open until midnight as a bar, but food service stops earlier. Open Tue-Sun 10:00am-12:00am. Closed Mon.

Delicious food, especially tempeh - Edit
Food was really good. I didn’t know what to expect with the hemp theme but it was a chill restaurant playing relaxed music. We had the hemp curry, tempeh and the sweet and sour soy pieces - all were great and nothing tasted weird or like hemp. I especially recommend the tempeh which was super sweet and makes a nice dessert.

The staff spoke great English and were friendly.
Pros: Tempeh

Nice food, amazing vies and Friendly staff - Edit

Calm and yum - Edit
Located right in front of the beach of Yuiga-hama, this restaurant provides great vegan Japanese food using some hemp as one of the ingredients. The ambience is quite chill with some soothing music. We were quite happy with the food, we will definitely revisit.

Delicious curry-set and sides! - Edit
We went here for lunch and it was delicious! It's up some metal side steps when you reach the building. I got a curry set with a Gyoza side and orange juice, it was ¥3,500 in total. The curry set portion was good, it came with curry, rice, salad, soup and 3 vegetable sides (one was daikon). The Gyoza were so delicious, I just wish the portion was bigger than 4! A member of our party had fries (although they're actually wedges) and the hemp croquette. The fries were incredible, the croquette was an interesting flavour but still nice. There are a number of things on the menu that are vegan and clearly marked on the menu. The options seem to change depending on whether it's lunch or dinner. The staff seemed friendly and the food came out pretty fast. We had a lovely view of the sea as we ate, it's worth a visit.

Loved the nachos - Edit
Ordered the nachos, soy meat karage, dumplings, and fries, and two cocktails. Nachos were amazing, as were the fries (more like wedges, but super tasty). Could have done with a little less salt, but a great meal which we enjoyed!

Weird attitude towards foreigners - Edit
I went there many times because the food is tasty and the view is great, but I don’t appreciate that part of the staff is sort of condescending towards foreigners, even if they speak Japanese. I hope they’ll get new staff.

Dinner with beach view - Edit
I visited the restaurant on the second floor for dinner.
Read moreHad a vegan Dinner Set, which combined a variety of dishes.
Even though I didn't specifically ask beforehand, what would be included in the set, every dish was delicious and the different textures and tastes left me full and satisfied.
The atmosphere was relaxed and staff were friendly and comforting.

Loved seeing staffs' smiling faces! - Edit
Loved seeing the staff's smiling faces (if you know what I mean). Cafe is run and staffed by critical thinkers and does not discriminate any kind of customer who might not be wearing something when they enter the cafe. Such a hippie and beach vibe all over the place :-D
Read moreThis is such a nice spot at the beach. Vegan menu depends on the day, but there is always something on the menu or staff is happy to put something together too. I spotted some vegan desserts on the menu when I went.
Cons: A bit expensive

Beachfront, vegan-knowledgable, relaxed spot! - Edit
Really nice vibe, with live music on the first floor and dining above. The staff knew and shared what was vegan in japanese and english (which was 3/4 of the menu). Great option! I hope they consider going all vegan at some point, so I can give them 5 stars!

Lucky surprise! - Edit
I had the vegan hemp pancake burger. To be honest, I did not know what to expect with this combination (pancake burger?!) but it was heavenly! The location is right at the beach overlooking the sea. Unfortunately the street can get quite noisy but it still has a nice vibe. I don’t know why there are two listing for this venue (one vegan and one veggie-friendly) on happy cow but when we went they definitely had non-vegan items on the menu. Would definitely recommend it for a nice lunch close to the beach.

Beach front cafe with cool ambience - Edit
A small cafe selling hemp pancake vegan burgers. Set on the beach front the interior is small and industrial but food is great. Service was wonderful and we watched the waiter (owner?) create the most wonderful looking roasted coffee for some other guests. Burger was delicious and we sat watching the sea.

Great Ambiance, Tasty Food - Edit
Magokoro’s location can’t be beat. We sat right by the window with a beautiful view of the ocean. The host was friendly, accommodating, and spoke English very well. We came during “tea time” between lunch and dinner, so the full menu was not available. However, the host easily accommodated us with hot yuzu ginger tea and cool peach juice, two plates of veggie curry with added tempeh, and a brownie for dessert. Although the restaurant serves fish, everything else appears to be vegan, including the breads and desserts. The host encouraged us to come back again to try the full vegan set during lunch. I think we will!

Charming little café with a chill vibe and great burgers - Edit
We went there with my friends yesterday and we choose 3 vegan burgers and were not disappointed at all! The buns are made from hemp pancake. The patty was a mystery (but with a great texture!) and the sauce was delicious.

Friendly, fast, fresh - Edit
Curries, daily set meals, pasta, desserts, organic wine, draft beer, lassi, smoothies, sake— this vegan-friendly restaurant on the beachfront at Yuigahama is one of the few open “late” for dinner in the off-season, and though hemp is the featured ingredient, there’s a lot of variety in the menu and the staff can explain all of the dishes and whether they are vegan, vegetarian or other. The atmosphere is casual, relaxed and welcoming. Service was quick and attentive; there is an English menu and a small selection of hemp and artisanal products for sale. My curry platter had a generous portion of tempeh (not easy to find in Japan), crunchy raw veggie salad , herbed rice, potato salad , and an agreeably spicy chutney. We had a fun chat with the multi-lingual owner at the end of the evening.

Meh - Edit
English below👇 長谷駅からほど近い『麻心』というか店に行ってきました。
Read more店じゅうに麻、ヘンプのものがあります。麻炭、麻コーヒー、麻ネックレス、とにかく麻だらけです。
店は雰囲気は良いですがあまり広くはなく、順番待ちの客の居場所がなく、狭い通路を塞いでしまう格好になってしまいます。これは食べている客も、待っている客もとても気まずいので改善していただきたい所です。
15分ほど待って席に案内されましたが、人数分の水を出してくれなかったり、オーダーを取るのにかなり待たされたりなど、不満がありました。
今回注文したのはタコライスで、とても美味しかったですが、フロアスタッフの少なさから対応があまりに遅く、食後にデザートを食べようと思っていましたが、取りやめて帰る事にしました。
改善する所は多いですが、とても良い店になれると思います。今後の発展に期待しています。
Magokoro is a small restaurant overlooking the beach in Kamakura (closest station: Hase). They have a few fish dishes but everything else is vegan, I think. The interior was rustic and charming, and the place had a really nice, chill vibe, with a spectacular view of the ocean.
Unfortunately, we didn’t pick a great time to go— on a sunny summer Sunday, for lunch. The restaurant was totally full, with a long line of people waiting outside, and there was only one server. He was doing his best, but it took a really long time to get anything, including cups for water.
I got the taco rice (1180 yen), which was delicious but a little small. We wanted to order dessert but when we told the waiter, he said “Please wait, I’ll be right back.” Ten minutes later, we just paid the check and left. I’m not in any hurry to come back here.
