Little gem in Umeda, Osaka

Super cute all vegan café in Umeda, Osaka. Space is somewhat limited but you can sit right at the counter and watch as your meal is getting prepared.

The owner is vegan herself and super likeable. I was there at lunch time around 12:30 pm and it seemed that I was the first visitor so there was plenty of time to talk which was super nice.

I took the great-value vegan lunch set (variant A) and it was so fresh, tasty and filling perfect as a base for exploring the city afterwards. Also I liked the tea I had very much. There are also some vegan (and gluten free) snacks for take away like cookies and crisps.

So if you are nearby show some love and go to Vege Kitchen KelaKela!

Delicious Japanese Comfort Foods

Had an incredible time at this restaurant. As a Japanese vegan person living abroad, I often find myself missing Japanese comfort foods. This place serves an elevated, yet familiar version of Japanese basics,l that I’ve missed!

I had the vegan Japanese curry and vegan kaarage (fried “chicken”). My partner, who isn’t vegan, had the BBQ soy protein bowl. All three were so tasty and my partner thought it was the best vegan meat she’s ever had.

Everything in the restaurant is made from scratch, is organic, and free of additives. The owner makes the soy protein from scratch and it’s the best I’ve ever had.

This place recently opened earlier this year, so I’d definitely encourage others to go. The owner has been vegan for 12 years and I really enjoyed our conversation. Don’t miss it!

ギラギラな繁華街の中にある、俺たちの実家

周りはギラギラな喧騒な繁華街ですが、お店に入った途端に、とても落ち着く空間があります。

ヴィーガン=味が薄いor濃い等々、色々ありますが、ここでは麹をベースとした下味をしっかり作り込んでいて、優しいのに味がしっかりあるバランスの取れた料理があります。

店長さんも気さくな方で、色々と話を聞くと、動物のためにヴィーガンに切り替えた方で、ビジネスビーガンではないのが素敵でした☺️

Pros: 五葷対応あり, グルテンフリーあり, 実家に帰ったような安心感がある

Cons: 店の入り口が雑居ビルのため、外からは発見しにくい, 繁華街(お水商売)のお店が多いため、夜は周りの雰囲気が変わります。

Social Experience with authentic Osaka food

This is a very small and cute Restaurant where you sit at the counter and watch the one owner cook for you. You are lucky if you get a spot as there are only about 5 people who can eat at the same time.

She was super friendly and communicated a lot with us, despite there beeing a large language barrier.
We enjoyed the time a lot. She also posts pictures on instagram with her guests and writes a cute comment about each one so it feels very personal.

The food was very good and has a lot of osaka classics. I liked the barbeque plate! Would go there again especialy for the experience with the owner.

Would definetly go there if you have a bit of japanese knowledge and like to talk to a local.

Pros: Owner is very welcoming

Vegan okonomiyaki!

The owner is a very kind lady who has lived in Osaka for over 20 years and been vegan for over 10.

If you want to try Osaka style okonomiyaki, you can do that here! There are also many other delicious menu items.

It may be difficult to visit as a group of more than 3, as the small restaurant only has bar seating.

Absolutely Delicious!

Our family got four different dishes and they were all so good! If we were staying in Osaka longer we would definitely return again. Highly recommend this friendly and delicious place for both vegetarians/vegans and meat eaters.

Fluffy pancakes + ice cream

I made a special detour to stop by and try Aya’s Japanese-style fluffy pancakes. I made sure to add vanilla ice cream to top it off. The chocolate syrup was sweet but not too sweet. Loved it for an early afternoon dessert. I recommend it!

Even on a rainy day, half of the 13 seats were filled by 14:30. Lunch specials and drinks can be ordered until 15:00.

Lovely little place

This place is still very new and small, but it was almost like going to someone’s house and have them cook a delicious meal for you while chatting a bit. I had the BBQ soy meat, which was very flavorful and beautifully presented.

Charming, tiny family business

This is a tiny, 6-seat granddaughter-grandfather run all-vegan restaurant that feels like being welcomed into a family home for a meal. The gyudon (beef bowl), soy meat bowl, and pancake were all delicious! I especially liked that unlike some all-vegan restaurants in Japan, the food was not highly westernized or stylized. Just great plant based interpretations of Japanese classics. The overall highlight, though, was the lovely company from the owners, who are incredibly sweet! Save this spot for when you're not in a massive rush, since it's made to order.

Pros: Gyudon (beef bowl), Friendly company, Fluffy pancake

Really tasty, good staff

The place is tiny and was unlucky to get there when there whas a family of like 8 noisy foreigners that had all the floor covered with their stuff, even the bathroom door was bloqued. Even so the food was good and the staff is really nice.
The woman has been for 11 years like me!

Fluffy Pancakes

This was a really good meal. I don't even like synthetic meats that much, but the ones here were very good. The best part was that they had a fluffy pancake. My wife is vegetarian, so I spent much of the trip watching her have fluffy pancakes in the morning. It was really nice that I got to try a vegan one here. Made it a memorable trip experience. The owner was also very nice and talked while she cooked the meals. This is a must-do place to eat if you are vegan visiting Osaka, in my opinion.

Pros: Friendly Staff, Fluffy pancakes, Quiet

Wholesome & well-seasoned

Tiny restaurant with amazing food, our rice plates with several fake meats were incredible, huge portions, loads of seasonal veggies, everything well seasoned and filling. One of the best meals I've had in Japan I have to admit. Staff is lovely and chatty, if you look for healthy meals on your travels, I recommend this place!

What a wonderful new restaurant!

We were very glad that we sought out this place not very far from Umeda Station. We had the fettuccine and the okonomoyaki and both were delicious. it can be a little hard to find because Google Maps takes you to the building, but you have to look inside to see the sign so don’t give up. The owner was very sweet and made our food quickly. We wished we could have stayed longer and come back.
