Incredible!

So nice to find such a delicious lunch spot in Sakura City. We had a choice of four lunch options and decided to go with the curry and the soy nuggets sets. They both came with the same sides. The flavor of every single thing was just pure perfection! For dessert we got a small slice of raw blueberry lime cake. Everything was really good, but just a tad pricier than I expected.
But I am really thrilled to find such delicious food, considering how the main vegan spots in Tokyo have started to really lack in quality lately.

Hidden vegan gem near Narita

What a joy! Cute little fully vegan cafe/restaurant in the middle of Sakura City in Chiba! Definitely worth a visit if you’re on a stay over in Narita. Check their insta for the schedule, they often close on Sundays.

I had the vegan chicken set, which came with several exquisitely made side dishes, salad and rice.
They also have coffee and amazing vegan cakes too, you will NOT regret the trip!

The owner speaks a bit of English and is absolutely lovely. I will keep coming back till I’ve had everything on the menu!

Delicious!

I was overjoyed to find a veg-friendly place in Sakura as I wasn’t expecting any. Located in a lovely little standalone building, you can eat in (just a couple of seats) or opt to take away.

I had the daily okazu set and donburi. The soy meat in the donburi was really tasty and the variety of okazu dishes was great. I loved the little gratin and mini katsu. I also ordered a soy chai after my meal and was surprised at how it was actually quite spicy and not too sweet at all.

If I’m ever back in the area I will definitely return!

Pros: Fresh food, good quality ingredients , Veg products on sale in the shop, Friendly staff, took time to explain the menu

Worth your time for sure.
