フルウント甲府 (Fluunt KOFU ) — Restaurant in Kofu

It was nice and quiet at 11am on a weekday, so my order was quickly taken and served. The restaurant is small, but arranged in a way that is spacious.

I ordered a lunch set, consisting of their sake kasu cheese burger, salad and spiced ginger soda. It was all fresh, of high quality and attentively prepared. I wasn't keen on the spices used in the ginger soda, but it was refreshing. The burger was good; the sake kasu "cheese" was interesting, like cheesy mayonnaise, but I loved the bun that the burger came in the best, it was so flavorly yeasty. However, portions are on the small side, so in addition to the lunch set, I had their buddha bowl takeout (regular), as my "ekiben", and it was good, but a tad greasy.

Except for the bun, nothing really made me go "wow". Lots of nice veggies in the meal, but the portions really have to be bigger to fill someone up.

I was served water at the beginning, but wasn't offered a refill on this particularly hot day. A self-service water dispenser would be a nice...

What I liked: -The Tofu-mock meat nuggets which were crispy. -The salad dressing which was refreshing. -Cosy cafe vibes

What I disliked: -The fried soy meat which was oily and had a strange "stiff dough" kind of texture. One of the poorest soy meat I've come across, actually. -A compulsory drink order for every customer, even if one had ordered a Main! I find this practice quite off-putting.

Glad we gave this place a try but overall I found the burger quite forgettable. I like the concept of this store but I've no...

The interesting point in this burger was they used sake kasu (leftover product from sale production) as cheese which is something I’ve never seen in vegan spots in Tokyo. It didn’t have a distinct taste but had the texture of cheese and tasted close to mozzarella cheese. The tomato sauce was nice and patty felt like it lacked a bit of salt for me. Overall the burger worked ok as the whole. They also had Buddha bowls which looked really good as well. Also this is the only vegan place we found...
