Very yummy! Good service! - Edit
I can’t confirm the bad review.
Read moreMy experience here was very good! Most of the menu is vegan. The miso soup contains fish stock.
The curry was excellent and the owner was very accommodating. When I was asking about the taste of Jerusalem artichoke tea, she brought me some granulate to taste.
They sell organic veggies and other natural products at the shop too.

The bad review is not about food quality. I used to go there regularly and until the conversation that I mentioned in the review happened, the lady had always been nice to me. It was pretty upsetting. I’m glad you had a good experience though. I think that after what happened with me, she will be more careful if the topic of veganism comes out in the future.

No respect for veganism - Edit
I gave this place a good review, but the last time I went there I had a pretty bad experience. I was reading a vegan guide in which their restaurant was mentioned and when I showed it to the owner (an elder lady), she said she doesn’t give a crap about veganism. I ignored that comment and laughed it off, but when she came back to bring us food she asked me if I really don’t eat meat (“really? Like, never ever?”) and joked about secretly putting some meat in my next meal. I didn’t laughed that off.
Read moreI understand veganism is not well understood in Japan, especially by the elderly, but that’s not the kind of comment I expect at a restaurant with so many vegan options.
The food is still great, so if you don’t speak Japanese/don’t mention veganism to the old lady, you can enjoy it.

[Restaurant Review: Yaoya] English below 👇 善行駅にある『八〇八(やおや)』に行ってきました。
Read more駅から徒歩2分ほどのとても便利な所にあり、その名の通り店の入り口には無農薬の野菜が陳列されています。
店内はテーブル席が3つと座敷が3つあり、店内にも物販コーナーがあります。
今回注文したのは、『野菜天丼』と『水ようかん』です。野菜天丼は大盛りにしました。
野菜天丼にはサラダと味噌汁が付いています。味噌汁も具沢山で、かなりのボリュームです。
驚いたのはニンジンの甘さです。こんなに美味しいニンジンを食べたのは初めてだと思います。
天丼の天ぷらは、オクラ、ニンジン、じゃがいも、さつまいも、ナス、ゴーヤです。
ニンジンはサラダに付いてきたものと同様、甘みが強くとても美味しかったです。
ナスの天ぷらは『てんや』のものとは大違いで、味がちゃんと付いていて美味しかったです。
ゴーヤもホクホクしていて、予想外に美味しかったです。
その他オクラ、じゃがいも、さつまいも、全て美味しかったです。
満腹になりましたが、胸焼けや気持ち悪さは全くありませんでした。
デザートの水ようかんも口直しに丁度良く、滑らかな口当たりで優しい甘みが後を引きました。
会計すると、ふたりで2800円。デザート付きとは思えない安さでした。
また、このお店はポイントが貯まると野菜が貰えるそうですが、ポイントカードはなく、お店が指名でポイントを管理してくれるようです。ポイントカードを財布に入れなくて済みますね。
ローカルな駅にあるお店ですが、名店と呼んでもいいと思います。是非また行きたいです。
機会があれば是非行ってみて下さい。
We’ve discovered another hidden gem of a restaurant we’re excited to share with you. It’s Yaoya (written 八〇八 ), about two minutes from Zengyo station in Fujisawa.
Yaoya is a charming family-run Japanese restaurant that, true to its name, is also an organic vegetable shop. Inside you’ll find a few shelves selling vegan-friendly food and personal care items, and a few tables to sit down at.
The friendly staff assured us that most of the menu items are vegan already, but it would probably be best to say that you’re vegan so they can guide you through the menu.
We tried the tendon (tempura served over rice.) As soon as we ordered, the staff went outside to the vegetable shop area and took the veggies for our meals! The tendon came in a very generous portion, with salad, miso soup, and a wide variety of veggies. Every bite was delicious. Even the goya was somewhat edible (I am not a fan of goya).
For dessert we tried the mizu yokan, a sort of jelly made from red bean paste. It was a tasty end to a fantastic meal.
I can’t recommend Yaoya highly enough. Dining there feels like having a meal at your Japanese grandma’s house, in the best possible way. There’s not a lot going on in Zengyo, but I’d say it’s worth the trip out there to dine at this very special place.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Fresh, organic veggies are the star of the show , Friendly, family-run business
Cons: Small and a little shabby-looking
