Dairy in the vegan options - Edit
I asked the worker if they had anything without dairy and he said every flavor has it, despite the sesame and tofu flavors saying they don’t

Closed down - Edit
This place looked closed down. There’s a another spot a little further down the path with the same items but the owner said they all contain dairy including black sesame. Just a heads up!!

Tasted fine - Edit
I rated it 4 stars instead of 3 simply because I haven’t found many other vegan ice cream options but the flavor was just okay and not really worth the price. I had truly amazing vegan icecream for 50 yen at ikea in Tokyo though so maybe my standards are too high haha
Read moreAlso note that the address that shows up when you open it in Apple Maps is wrong. It’s actually near Bukkyo Bijutsu Shiryo Kenkyu Center. The place on the map took my friend and I a few minutes up the road to a random building where workers who maintained the park were at.

Parfums du Japon - Edit
380¥ la glace. Il n'y a que deux parfums au lait de soja, Kinako et Sésame noir. Ce n'est pas très sucré, les parfums peuvent sembler étranges pour les européens comme nous habitués aux glaces fruitées !! J'en ai pris une de chaque, les goûts allaient très bien ensemble.
Read moreLa dame était super gentille, elle m'a prise en photo avec les glaces !
Seul bémol (ou peut-être pas), les cornets ne sont pas les mêmes que sur les photos. Du coup, ceux-là sont-ils bien vegans ? À vérifier avec la gérante, je n'ai pas pensé à poser la question.
Cons: Que deux options végétales

Tasty black sesami ice cream - Edit
Visited here last October, and had plant-based black sesami ice cream which was flavorful. It’s nice that finally to get some snacks at the food vendor in Nara Park.

Deer-licious Ice Cream - Edit
I got the soy milk black sesame, a very unique flavour. Very delicious. Nice to have a vegan option right next to the giant Buddha.

Vegan Ice Cream - Edit
The first time I tried to go here, they were still closed about 30 minutes after the listed opening time. Came back and got the black sesame soy milk ice cream and it was worth the second trip. Very tasty, just wish the ice cream was a little bigger.
Read morePros: Convenient location for deer watching
Cons: Sometimes opens late, Small serving size
