During my recent visit, I opted for the all-you-can-eat lunch with a drink for ¥1530. However, I was disappointed to find limited vegan options, as the only vegetables available were jicama, spinach, and bean sprouts. The lack of vegan dressings was also disappointing, except for a potential mislabeled miso dressing. Additionally, while there were udon noodles on offer, I was surprised to discover that they contained fish. Although I appreciated the clear labeling of ingredients, I left the restaurant without consuming any food or drink, despite having paid in advance. It is unfortunate to see that the quality of this restaurant has declined since my last visit.

There were no vegan hot dishes available, and the labels only indicated the presence of fish, meat, and milk, but not eggs. It may be suitable for a mixed group, but for vegans, the choices are lacking.

The tickets were all sold out by 8:30AM on that day, and once the limit is reached, the breakfast buffet is no longer available. If you are interested in trying the breakfast buffet, I suggest arriving at least an hour before the restaurant opens to ensure you get a ticket.

The decor and the music were pleasant enough as well. However... I ended up having a bowl of plain udon with miso soup and three portions of bean sprouts, fried onion and seaweed combo. There were no ready or hot dishes suitable for vegans. Perhaps there were some during the day and by 7pm all run out? The food I did have was fresh and tasty though. I left rather unsatisfied, seeking further nourishment for soul and body... :
