ASAKARA GOOD STORE — Restaurant in Osaka

I was looking for a place that I could eat at that would make me feel healthy and also satiate my cravings. After eating a lot of not so healthy items while in Osaka, this was the place that fit what I was looking for (I am a huge foodie and a sucker for really, really good brunch.)

Asakara Goods Store left me utterly impressed after not just one, but two visits. Their Seasonal Mango Smoothie Bowl and Banana Shakes were incredibly delightful. The salads managed to strike the perfect balance between deliciousness and health-consciousness, while the sandwiches like THE MBLT and Apple Cheeks left me literally saying "Mmmmmmmm" out loud.

I had no room to try the desserts sadly, but the generous and nutritious portions of the meals left no room for disappointment. The second day there I tried their Green Bowl. That was really good too. The food comes out super quick and they have baked goods also. I really could taste the freshness of the food and you can tell they care about the quality.

I really want to try the rest of their menu, but I'm limited on time here in Osaka. But if I had a few more days I would come back for sure. Cool ambiance added to the experience for sure and the staff was super friendly, service was...

Osaka's Vegan Fusion Dream 5 stars!! 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

This place is a MUST visit for anyone in Osaka, vegan or not! The vibe is incredible - super chill with tons of wood, natural light, and killer music. The staff are super friendly and laid-back, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal.

Speaking of delicious...the food here is to DIE for! I'm not even vegan, but their fusion dishes are mind-blowing. We had to try one of their "out-of-this-world" sandwiches, and it did not disappoint! Seriously, the best sandwich I've ever had (vegan or not).

The cafe itself is super cute and conveniently located in central Osaka. Perfect for a break from sightseeing or a relaxing lunch date. This place has everything - amazing food, awesome atmosphere, and friendly staff. Don't miss it!

I came here at 11:15 am on Sunday (yeah yeah I know) and waited approx 55 minutes. So yeah, come early! Because I also missed their brunch pancakes, sad. They serve brunch menu from 7-11am. But I still was able to order the vegan platter which really really hit the spot… I’ve been traveling Japan for 3 weeks and eating mostly Japanese food, it’s been really hard for me to find a lot of vegetables at Japanese restaurants so this platter really really was amazing.

I also ordered the fig tart off the seasonal menu. Delicious but gets a bit too sweet, I think the yellow custard is too much sweetness. Better to share.

And the best part, I was so satisfied from the meal I stayed full for 7 hours!!!! I used to enjoy bodybuilding so my appetite isn’t tiny. Latte, fig tart, vegan platter came out to 3000¥. For a homesick traveler, this was...
