I have been living in japan for about two and a half years, and it is hard to believe, but that was my first vegan udon outside of home. they have marked a digital menu with the Veg options. the broth for the vegan udon is completely plant-based and they can easily remove the egg from the few vegetarian options to make this fully vegan. the staff was so friendly and friendly and told us that they have plans to make the menu even more vegan friendly! I had the kitsune udon, and my man had the yamakake udon without a. they were both excellent! we hope that during this short trip to hiroshima we can come back and try some of their other vegan dishes! update: we went back the next day and had the tantan udon with soy milk and some fried kartoffels. incredible! the suppe of udon was rich and creamy and so full of taste! the fried potato were crispy outside and soft inside. perfect comfort food! updated by the previous review on 2021-05-14
I like that there is especially vegan in japan says that many menus are not so clear about it and there are a lot of options and not just one as in most restaurants where I was.
A hot bowl of udon after cycling around Hiroshima all morning really hit the spot! The staff substitutes a vegetable broth on request, making the dish vegan. They can also make vegan (egg-less) tempura on request. The English menu is available on their website, but not printed out in the restaurant. Upon speaking to the owner at the end of the meal, she suggested they may need to discontinue the vegan broth due to the decreased demand from the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they don’t, as it was absolutely delicious!
My friend and I are both vegetarian and we had the best vegan set. We ordered the vegan set that came with 4 supplements (tofu, soybeans, lotus root balls and tempura). It was absolutely delicious! In addition, we have the vegan Udon that was amazing. The best part was that two of the waiters spoke perfectly English! We also ordered a beer and it was poured into perfection, and was the smoothest beer I ever had in Japan. Recommend this place both for vegans and vegetarians (as well as carnivores). Definitely a must when visiting Hiroshima or authentic Japanese foods.
We had a great time here! All really good food (oroshi udon) and drinks (lemon sour and mikan beer) at a very reasonable price. Also for vegetarians and vegans (they have a veggie broth that you can exchange for any Udon). English menus available. Super sweet (in my opinion). So happy to have found it!
