Very cozy vegan restaurant - Edit
We were greeted by two adorable cats at the entrance, a very cozy and cute place that serves authentic vegan japanese food.

Ate dinner and lunch there - Edit
I basically had the whole menu, very cute ally way corner restaurant. Feels secretive how hidden it is. Wasn’t far from our hotel so we walked there.

Best Osaka Vegan Place - Edit
They had initially sold out of takoyaki so I had the tempura which I was happy with. When checking out I mentioned I was sad to miss the takoyaki so they made some fresh on the spot for me, fantastic service and so tasty. No wait when I was there around 8:30pm on a Tuesday

More a snack place than a restaurant - Edit
We had the vegetable tempura assortment, noodles with soy meat, takoyaki and a matcha ice cream. We had to wait until we were seated, even though tables were free, guests that were on their way out complained that they had waited an hour for their food to arrive. Seemed quite unorganized but maybe that was just due to a larger group celebrating a birthday at one of the tables. We found our food okay but unremarkable compared to other experiences we had on our trip.

Super trouvaille ! - Edit
Nous avons trouvé ce restaurant végan au fond d'une toute petite ruelle dans un quartier populaire d'Osaka.
Read moreLe restaurant dispose de table extérieures, de table intérieures et un bar.
Les menus sont en anglais. Quand vous arrivez le staff vous donne un petit QR-Code qui vous renvoie sur le site internet où vous pouvez commander vos plats et vos boissons.
Le site est en Japonais, mais vous pouvez utiliser la fonction 'traduction' de votre navigateur pour traduire le site web dans votre langue. C'est une manière astucieuse d'offrir un menu accessible à tous.
Le restaurant vends des brochettes de légumes ou d'ingrédients végan fites. J'avoue que j'ai été vraiment surprise du goût riche des légumes ! Les asperges, les champignons, les carottes et les brocolis avaient vraiment un goût incroyable. J'ai également été très suprise en bien de leur brochette d'alternative vegan à la viande. Je recomande vivement !
Les brochettes de patates et de patates douces étaient un vrai délice.
Les Takoyaki étaient vraiment très bon également avec probablement un bout de champignons pour remplacer le poulpe, c'était très intéressant.
Il y avait également d'autres palts qui avaient l'air très bon. Mais malheureusement nous n'avons pas des ventres assez grand pour tout tester.
Les boissons étaient également très bonnes.
L'équipe était vraiment très accueillante et sympathique.
Le prix était au dessus de la moyenne, mais ça vallait l'expérience. Il était très difficile pour nous de trouver des légumes dans les restaurants depuis notre arrivée à Osaka. Ce restaurant était vraiment un oasis vert de plaisir.
Le restaurant dispose d'une toilette très étroite qui était propre.
Il est possible de réserver des places et je le recommande car le restaurant à très peu de places assises. Mais nous avions encore beaucoup de places pour nous.
Pros: Les légumes savoureux

The takoyaki is delicious - Edit
We shared a few dishes here for dinner- the takoyaki, 5 grilled sticks (baby corn, pumpkin, eggplant, shiitake and pickled ginger), the cucumber salad and the yakisoba. The takoyaki was incredible- my omnivorous partner said better than a non vegan/gf version he had tried earlier. The pickled ginger was a suprise favourite of the grilled sticks, a couple of the others were a bit average, and the yakisoba and the cucumber were both excellent.

Really nice restaurant! - Edit
Went to this beautiful restaurant. You can get some traditional japanese dishes, just made vegan. A lot of thought has been put into the restaurant’s ambience. The staff is super nice and very helpful. Only downside was that we had to wait a bit for our food, but it’s really no bother, because the dishes make it worth it.

Cosy restaurant - Edit
The "Takoyaki" was amazong! The "Earth meat cutlet bowl" was good too. When it comes to the "Kushikatsu" (fried vegetables) I can recommend the Shiitake mushrooms. The others we tried (earth meat, pumpkin, young corn and edamame) all tasted pretty boring.

Vegan Takoyaki is a must try - Edit
I had my dinner here on my first night in Osaka, walking distance from my hostel. The space is cozy and cute. The takoyaki is a must try! I also had the earthmeat cutlet bowl and vegan cheese (no photo, I ate it right away 😁), both are flavorful as well. The staff are pleasant too.

Good little find - Edit
We had a few nibbly things here last night. The Takoyaki was fantastic, the mushroom inside really replicated traditional takoyaki. The kushikatsu was generous in its serving too which was great for the price.

Lovely! - Edit
A wonderful hidden little place that we came across by chance. We ordered takeaway and were very happy about the vegan surprise in the middle of numerous meat restaurants. The food was delicious, we especially liked the takoyaki (better than the originals). The service was extremely friendly! We would love to come back!

Hidden gem - Edit
Have to walk down a dark alley (if you go at dinner time during winter), but then you find a great little spot. They serve vegan and gluten-free versions of Osaka classics such as okonomiyaki and kushikatsu. There is a friendly atmosphere, and they know enough English to tell you to use the QR code to order. Like others have said, they are light on the seasoning, so use the seasoning and salt and pepper on the table. The cost depends on how light of an eater you are. I had the okonomiyaki and kushikatsu, and that was barely enough for me. With a highball whiskey that set me back a little over 2000 yen, which isn't bad at all. If you are really hungry, you might be spending more.
Read moreBut I can recommend 6 it out if you are already in the shinsekai area around dinner time (the area isn't as bad as some people say and more interesting in the evening).
So do yourself a favor and check it out!
Pros: Good atmosphere , Friendly staff, Enough choices
Cons: Have to find the right alley. , Have to season the food yourself

Cozy place - Edit
You order via QR code on table. I opted for the takoyaki and yakisoba noodles. Both were really good. I also got an order of the caramel popcorn. It was good but kind of tasted a bit burnt.
