AUTHENTIC VEGAN JAPANESE!! - Edit
You have to add this to your list if you are in Kyoto, but make sure you swing by the day before of even just early to book ahead as it’s only a small place. The food is unreal and you finally feel like you are getting that authentic Japanese experience which is hard when vegan!

Fabulous Food - Edit
Great options for vegan and vegetarian diners, cool vibe, English speaking staff. We couldn’t seem to be able to reserve/book, so we just turned up and put your name down while you wait look around the near by shops.

Amazing food - Edit
A very cosy small restaurant on the 2nd floor with a vegan menu. The cook is very nice and the okonomyaki was absolutely delicious. We went there twice on our stay in Hiroshima. 100% recommend!

Lots of fun - Edit
I’m sure cross contamination is an issue, and I have a suspicion they used fish sauce unfortunately. Tofu steak and noodle pancake was delish. The grill in front of you was lots of fun too!!! Forgot to take photos before I ate lol sorry.

Quite the experience! - Edit
It was my first time eating okonomiyaki, and it was quite the experience! This was my second time stopping by the restaurant (the first time, they were closed only for reservations), and I lucked out in being able to sit in without a reservation since I was alone. I could sit and watch the chef cook, which was really cool! I noticed that he was really careful about trying not to cross-contaminate the tools he used when making the vegan okonomiyaki and separated it from the non-vegan ones, which I thought was super considerate and thoughtful (wasn’t sure if it was intentional or coincidental). The servers were really friendly and helpful and even spoke English to ensure that what I ordered was, in fact, vegan (even double-checking with me to see if I was). The rice cake dumplings I had were amazingly delicious, and I would definitely order them again!
Read morePros: Delicious vegan okonomiyaki, Friendly servers , Full vegan course available
Cons: Only one type of vegan okonomiyaki (w/mushrooms), Gets filled quick; reservations highly recommended

It's an experience - Edit
A must go if you love Okonomiyaki or just want to try it. If you are not more than 2 people you will be placed directly in front of the cook and can watch him make your food.

Satisfied my okonomiyaki craving. Be sure to reserve in advance - Edit
I haven’t come across suitable okonomiyaki since becoming vegan and this definitely hit the spot! There’s a vegan page in the menu and several vegan appetizers/sides as well that you can order separately or with a set menu. I got Kyoto-style tofu and a type of fried rice dumpling, but I would recommend just skipping all that and stuffing your face with more okonomiyaki.
Read moreThe staff were very friendly and welcoming of vegans/vegetarians. They are fully booked most nights so reserve in advance.

Excellent Okonomiyaki! - Edit
The staff are really lovely and make it clear which options are vegetarian/vegan. They speak English quite well and understand what no meat no fish no dashi is! I went with friends who eat meat and when they brought various dishes out they explained which were vegan.

Thanks for putting this up on Happy Cow! Do they actually have the word vegan in the menu? Does this business understand the concept?
