コロナなのにスタッフがマスクを付けていません。もう2度と行きません！ November 2020 We are in the middle of a pandemic. Perhaps I shouldn’t be eating out at all but over the last few months I’ve made exceptions to support vegan businesses practicing good “social distancing” measures. When I saw that this place only seated 6, I was delighted. However that sense of security quickly disappeared when we arrived. The female staff member WASN’T WEARING A MASK, at all. She came over, took our order, and then continued to talk loudly to the male staff member while they made our food. I noticed them both eating while cooking and not washing their hands or wearing gloves. From a Covid point of view, this place is a cluster waiting to happen. I should have just left immediately. As for the food. It was expensive and there were only 3 non-desert menus options. All of which had fried soy meat as their main meals. I felt it was very unimaginative and made every option feel like the same meal. 🥱 The portions were tiny for the price ¥1800 for the set. I don’t mind paying premium prices for a good dining experience but this place left a lot to be desired. It seems like they’ve really cut down on menu options since other reviewers have visited. My finally complaint may not apply to everyone but there were no alcoholic beverages available (I like a glass of wine with my dinner). From a vegan point of view, their blatant disregard for Covid safety measures translated as a disrespect for life. From a “foodie” point of view, the options available lacked creativity and were too expensive. From a dining point of view, the staff talked loudly the entire time (with no mask) and the ambiance was nonexistent. Normally I go out of my way to support vegan businesses so I feel a little bad about leaving this review but...unfortunately, I will never go back to, or recommend, this restaurant again. Please wear a mask! 😷

A cozy little restaurant/café. Amazing set of plates, and awesome soy meat '' nuggets''. We had a try at a local craft beer, which was really nice. The tea were also really nice and local (like everything there). We ended our meal with some delicious deserts, all gluten free. Definitely a place you should go to!

Super delicious and amazing vegan food

Delicious food, all vegan cafe sourcing local produce. Variety of options, including deserts. Recommend checking out if you're in Nara.

Great little place, delicious food and excellent service. I am not a vegan, but after a week of eating only local Japanese food this place was a treat! Would recommend
