Really good udon! - Edit
Hard to find udon in Japan where you can get a vegan broth. Not only do they offer this but it's delicious! Available hot or cold
Read moreThe vegan menu also includes tempura.
And they do takeaway!

Good Udon - Edit
Had the dipping style Udon with vegetable tempura. Broth and Udon are both home made and delicious. Ask for the vegetarian menu. Staff is nice and will explain how to eat the Udon.

Fantastic udon offering for vegans - Edit
It was great to have an udon that came with ingredients beyond soy sauce (bamboo shoots, ginger, eggplant, etc.). The noodles were great, and I also enjoyed the vegetable tempura, especially the Japanese pumpkin, lotus root, and hot pepper.

Great! - Edit
Separate veggie menu, we both had the udon and tempura veggie set and loved it! As with a lot of places in Kyoto, be prepared to wait for a while for a table but service was fast and staff friendly

So Good! - Edit
Oh yes. I’d recommend coming thru to this spot. We went by on a Saturday evening and there was no line! Everything was clearly labeled and delicious. They have seasonal veggie tempura that is a real delight, and their udon spice powder will be living rent free in my mind for the coming weeks, I can already tell 😛

Delicious! Full vegan menu available - Edit
DON’T GET SCARED OFF BY THE LONG LINE - IT MOVED REALLY QUICKLY!
Read moreAbsolutely loved this place. Happy cow won’t let me give it 5 stars but that’s what I would rate it.
There is a fully plant based menu available on request, so I was able to order from that and my wife who is not plant based ordered from the traditional menu.
I don’t know how they made vegan udon taste so good, but somehow they did it! Definitely recommend!!

Super delicious udon! - Edit
May need to queue up for a while if in a group larger than 2 - I went solo and waited 10mins before skipping the line to enter the restaurant. Let the staff know you require the vegetarian menu before you enter. They also serve warm tea upon sitting down. Udon was great, the broth was delicious and tempura was also amazing as well. Seems like this place is quite popular with locals as well.

Great udon in a cosy restaurant - Edit
Service: you have to be waiting on numbered seats until you get seated at a table. There is an English menu that has a vegetarian part. The staff speaks English fluently enough to take orders.
Read moreAtmosphere: little cosy restaurant with 3 tables and several seats at a bar. There is a second floor, but i didn't see what was there.
Food: has two vegan options. Udon tastes great, single topping is provided. Medium size meal. Has proper spices if you want to give your noodles more flavour
Pros: You can spice up your meal yourself using.. spices

Traditional delicious Udon - Edit
The vegan / vegetarian option is very traditional Japanese food and especially great if you wish to try tempura / udon while walking through the busy city center of Kyoto. There also are two side dishes that are presumably vegan: the fried lotus root (レンコンチップス) and deep fried aubergine with sweet miso paste.
