Super friendly, tasty, cozy

Even though the smoked soy "nuggets" in the yuki-burger could taste better, I thought the genki-burger was on point, simple but delicious with a chewy bread that was crunchy on the outside (yum!)

The "cheese" tea and rainbow cake are absolutely delicious -- the cake is super moist, and the coloring doesn't leave any disgusting aftertaste like I feared -- but they taste strongly like soy. Personally, I love tofu and soy milk, but if someone doesn't, they may not appreciate this.

While I was there, a group of Chinese girls dressed in kimonos came by, took the small table by the counter and started having the cutest conversation with the owner. The whole experience was super wholesome and welcoming!

Pros: Quiet neighborhood, Cozy, Delicious

Cons: Small place, Not many options in the menu

Raaaaaaaaaainbow cake!

Rainbow cake is so delish and original! Really liked it!

Cafe is rather small, but it is so pretty and all foods look nice. Coffee is good too, but comes in plastic even when you sit in. I recommend bringing your own reusable straw for drinks.

I am def coming back to try the cake again. Staff is very nice too and they have a point card system. I think they might offer delivery for their cakes too.

Cozy little cake place

Great big slices of cake all vegan with a delicious creamy soy cream. They also do vegan meat and vegetable buns! About a 5-10 minute walk from Sensoji and they offer loyalty cards!

Pros: Great big slices of cake, Convenient location , Loyalty card (get a stamp every ¥500 you spend

Cons: Prices can add up as you want a bit of everything

A Must Try!

Hurry up and get yourself to Shochiku-en! It’s a small and cute cafe serving cakes, buns, and drinks. We had their signature rainbow cake, a matcha cheese cream drink, a sakura baked snack, a veggie bun, and a Taiwanese style vegan meat bun. Everything was incredible! We enjoyed every single bite and sip. The rainbow cake was light and fluffy and just perfectly sweet. The matcha cheese cream drink was spectacular. We took a cheese cream coffee and a pineapple cake to go. I can’t wait to go back!

Scrumptious food

The food is scrumptious- we have already been thrice - no garlic and onions - in most of the food. They also sell few products at the restaurant . The quantity is good if you are eating there , but quantity reduces on take always . The Bubble teas and cakes are fabulous . The food looks like a typical Japanese meat food .

Pros: Suitable for Indian Jain’s , Accommodating staff

Cons: Less staff - so serving is delayed , The food runs outs very quickly

Incredible milk tea and curry!

This place is AMAZING! A cute little cafe with lots of tasty Taiwanese stuff. The black salty cream cheese tea is on another level - a must try for any milk tea lovers! The curry was really tasty and filling too. This is a great place to stop for lunch! They sell vegan products like instant ramen and soy meat too.

Bonus point: when we were there they were playing an amazing playlist of old romantic classics - sooo good!

good food

I ordered a matcha latte and the teriyaki skewers plate to take out, as it was a new addition.
the matcha latte was nothing special, I think I drank all the milk part first so I was left with a more bitter part after.
the teriyaki skewers were really good ! I honestly think it could pass as meat. It was the same taste as I remember teriyaki chicken skewers to taste like. it came with a decent amount of rice and some lettuce and tomato. maybe one slightly disappointing thing would be that the skewers were quite small and I got "only" 3.

Pros: all vegan place , loved the food

Cons: Good portions but small "main"compared to the side

Huge Mock Meat Selection

Great vegan restaurant. I ate here a couple of times and the owner is really nice and helpful! I recommend the fake meat platter, it is more of an appetizer but amazing and only 500 Yen. Also they got many different boba teas!

OK but not great

I was looking for the vegan eel but somehow, could not find it. Either the menu changed or I did not read it carefully enough. I took the set menu with vegan fish instead. The soup that came with the set was boring. It tasted like a few pieces of veggies and mushrooms in warm, oily water. The fried mock fish and the veganaise it was garnished with tasted good, but the main dish did not come together for me overall. There was a fair portion of rice, but not much to combine it with: The mock fish was gone after few bites and I was left with rice, shredded lettuce, a small side portion of potato salad, three slices of cucumber and another side, some sliced vegetable or mushroom. I am not sure how to combine these ingredients. Some kind of sauce would have been needed to glue them together. I also ordered a mango smoothie, which was creamy and tasty. Overall, good if you need a change from vegan ramen but not overwhelming.

Pros: Good selection of interesting-sounding dishes, Tasty smoothies

Cons: Very small at just three tables, Ingredients did not combine well, Tasteless soup

Bubble teas and meals

Vegetarian (can use cow milk for teas, but will ask if you want a vegan milk).
Several dishes to eat, at reasonable prices. Everything is easy to understand.

I only had a tea with vegan salty cheese, and would love to go back for more later on.
Definitely check it out as well as the other veggie restaurants nearby!

Pros: Variety of teas, all can be vegan, Several vegan meat meals
