We walked in nara Park hungry and tired and stumbled into this little place. It is a small and cozy family restaurant with great atmosphere! We got two sets of udon noodles and it was awesome, fills you up instantly. Be sure not to miss it when you come here!

noodles, sake and deer watching - Edit
This was a lovely, quirky and quiet place. Good Vegan noodles and we enjoyed some sake too - it was freezing outside - snow showers. Sweetly designed restaurant which felt a bit like eating at my grandmothers - very homey. Yummy food, tea and ambience.

Great Lunch Spot - Edit
We really liked stopping here for some yummy vegan ramen whilst patting the friendly deer in Nara park. It was very affordable and tasty and the elderly lady knew exactly what vegan was and it is clearly labelled in English. We also had the Azuki beans and motchi for dessert which was yummy. Not many traditional ramen places cater for vegans so it was great to be able to try them.

Cons: More vegan options would be nice

Simple noodles in Todaiji area - Edit
There is very limited vegetarian options in Nara, so I was glad I found this place by chance. Yes, there is the very nice Kinatae restaurant, but you may not want to make your way to the other side of the city if you are enjoying yourself in Nara Park.
Read moreThis is a simple noodles house within the Todaiji compound. It's one of the few shops/restaurants along the path from the Todaiji main shrine to Nigatsudo.
If you go into the restaurant, on the table, you find there is a note showing an item "Thick Japanese wheat noodles for Vegetarian. All material derived from plants!"
It was just 700Y nett including a cup of green tea. It's simple and satisfying. There is some vegetables and seaweed in the noodles.
On the menu, there were also a few mushroom soba/udon items. They look vegetarian, particularly the soy sauce broth one, but it is unclear if the broth has fish stock. I don't speak enough Japanese to clarify, so I just went with the vegetarian noodles.
Besides noodles, the restaurant also serves a few desserts that are vegetarian, such as rice cake with adzuki (red beans).
This restaurant is convenient if you are feeling hungry within the Todaiji area. I stayed in Deer Park Inn nearby and had my early dinner here at 4:15pm.
Pros: convenient location, inexpensive
Cons: limited menu, closes early
