Toshie, who has lived in Holland, is passionate about introducing Japanese vegetarian cuisine to foreigners. I was blown away by the delicious mock eel and soy chicken dishes. Toshie is also involved in a project to provide meals to underprivileged children in the area. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant to experience Japanese vegan culture.

Toshie, who hails from Holland, is passionate about sharing Japanese vegetarian cuisine with foreigners. I tried the delicious spotted anal and soy chicken, which completely blew my mind!
