Traditional Japanese Udon shop where vegans are also catered to + all can eat very well here!

Usually, in Japan Udon shops use fish stock and it takes some ordering savvy to be able to get a dining option that is vegan or vegetarian, but it was such a relief to see on the menu that they can offer a vegan #shojin dipping sauce for their noodle dishes.

The atmosphere is simple and classy, the pricepoint is very reasonable- even for dinner it is possible to eat very well and still pay around $30 (3,000 yen) per person.

I ordered the signature Omen noodle set with the seasonal vegetables, shoin vegan broth dipping sauce and generous portion of ground sesame (usual vegan noodle set they offer) and was not disappointed.

I also ordered the FU set with its black sesame shojin vegan dipping sauces, seasonal vegetables. Both sets were delicious and I ordered the hot versions but it is possible to get the cold versions as well.

As I was hungry and keen to try it all, I also ordered the dessert- seasonal YOKAN dessert with persimmon and fig.

They have a good range of drinks and other side dishes to choose from inluding sashimi, miso paste covered baked FU (made with egg), tempura and other dishes.

The staff were very helpful and nice, refilling my warm green tea (service/free) many times while attentive to my progress through dishes before bringing the next dish. Would highly recommend this restaurant.
