Fune Ethical Lifestyle — Restaurant in Kyoto

This place is a hidden gem. I wish I’d found it sooner (rather than on my last night in Kyoto - but I’ll be back). The cafe is in a cute shop selling some great ethical fashions and products. The decor is really interesting modern industrial yet homey and full of detail. The menu is small but perfectly formed. A main dish of rice kongee porridge surrounded by an array of intriguing & delicious morsels with superb flavours and seasonings. Very delicate earthy flavours, pickles, mushrooms… black sesame tofu. Just gorgeous. Having eaten a fair amount of “regular” sushi on the preceding days this was exactly the “something different” I was looking for. The drinks were also delicious ( and specially nourishing for the gut) and the dessert plate was a taste sensation. To be fair if you like processed food and or are a committed meat eater you will not find much here to enjoy. If you are vegan it’s a 100% yes and if you are open minded and want to give your insides some serous but tasty nurturing it’s also a 100% yes.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the items for sale in the shop look great ( if more toward the designer end of the price scale)

Definitely recommend visiting here to get an insight into modern Kyoto sustainable cuisine and...

Good food, fresh, healthy, very good quality, carefully chosen. A modern take of traditional ingredient and recipes

Look at the menu and you’ll see that this place and the woman behind the menu is really one of a kind.

If you’ve indulged into the rush of sightseeing, this is a Very calming and relaxing place. It’s small, just a few tables, therefore it’s better to book from their website.

There is care in what they do You’ll feel better after eating here

This is also a shop selling hemp clothing and other healthy goods. They also sell a few types of Tea and coffe as well.

Their intent is clearly to do something good and I want to express my appreciation...
