The main part of the set was served on a vermillion tray: pickled vegetables, tofu, mushroom porridge, devil 's tongue, sesame tofu . More small plates were served later: rice with mushrooms, a tofu-yam hot pot, miso soup. Different teas were served with each course . I enjoyed the lunch, but had more memorable shojin ryori experiences with tastes presentation at Bon restaurant in Tokyo , Meiji no Yakata in Nikko. Here, the staff was gracious and friendly ; the dining room was quiet. Hachi -no-ki is a ten minute walk from the Kita-Kamakura station on Yamanouchi-dori , the same street as the station . It 's easy to find. The price was reasonable for this type of meal, and we knew reservations for the vegan option were necessary, based on their website and other reviewers.
