Good Food! Perfect Ambiance! - Edit
Walked through here while touring temples in the North side of Kamakura. Isso is perfectly located right along the temple route if you start at Kita-Kamakura Station.
Read moreThe restaurant is run by a lovely Taiwanese couple. I was fortunate enough to have the place to myself; and the vibe was absolutely charming. Very peaceful.
I ordered some dumplings and a tofu soup. Both featured subtle flavors and the soup was the star of the show. For dessert I had some douhua, which was good as well. Very unique dishes for someone who has never had Taiwanese vegan food.
Presentation was very good across dishes.
------------
The only con I can think of is that the bathroom isn't quite private enough. There is a 3/5 covered curtain seperating the open area from the bathroom. For anyone needing some extra privacy, this might be awkward. I think if they adressed this, the restaurant would be perfect.
The price was somewhat high, but this seemed typical for every place I ate in Kamakura; so I don't consider it a restaurant specific con.
I would definitely come back here if I was in Kamakura.

Please be quiet when you are here :-) - Edit
This is an intimate, small space promoting temple foods and zen atmosphere. This is not the place for loud gajins to use their screaming voices or for tourists to be loud and all over the place. So I would encourage people to use their quiet voice here or wait with the loud discussions so it is pleasant for everyone.
Read moreReally great experience! Had the Isso plate and it was beautifully presented and quite filling. Every detail is attended to.
It might be smart to reserve, it was full when we came here.

Authentic Taiwanese vegan food - Edit
The food, the old wooden building and the accommodating owners make this place very special!
Read moreThe lunch wasn’t very filling, but very yummy! I liked the Taiwanese design details. The sour soup came in a cute little chicken pot. 🥰
