[@hestology]

Oooh, I wish you published this two weeks earlier. Just came back from Kyoto. Itadaki Zen was indeed a culinary highlight for us. Two more personal favorites that didn't make your list: Vegan Ramen TowZen and Vegginy.

[@ChefinJapan]

Aw nooo, you'll just have to come back!! 😅 I'm glad you got to enjoy Itadaki Zen at least, and thanks for adding to the list. I haven't had TowZen yet!

[@maximilianc9897]

Thank you for the vegan info 🇯🇵

[@patti-annetakakura7741]

I so wish I found this video before visiting Kyoto. I only tried 2 places on this list. I hope to go back someday 😢

[@ChefinJapan]

Aww you’ll just have to come back again !! 😆

[@9SJL]

[@ChefinJapan]

Thank youu for watching! ^ ^

i had a vegan monk ramen in pontocho alley last year that was absolutely incredible, best ramen bowl i ever had because it has a ton of veggies and beans and it really blew my mind the flavor profiles and combos that i never had before. It was called 'original kyoto ramen' on the northish part or top of pontocho alley

[@ChefinJapan]

Omg I need to try thattt! 😋 Thanks for sharing! ^^

[@blaux1397]

Thank you for this video! I will arrive soon in Kyoto for an exchange semester, every time I was in Japan, it was so hard to find Vegan restaurants. So I am so excited to check your recommendations!

[@ChefinJapan]

Yay, I think you’ll have a much easier time now finding vegan food, there have been a lot more options recently! ^^

[@plantifulpicnic]

I am visiting Japan in a few months and this makes me very excited!

[@ChefinJapan]

Yay, I hope you have a great time! ^^

[@azsakamoto4582]

Thank u for this beautiful video ❤

[@ChefinJapan]

Thank you for watching and stopping by the comments section ☺️ !

[@rayhem]

[@ChefinJapan]

Please come and eat all the things!! ^^

[@MrAchsas]

that looks absolutely amazing hope i can visit kyoto one day

[@MrAchsas]

glad to know they have vegan restaurants

[@ThrivingNotDying]

The food looked so good! I look forward to trying these places.

[@ChefinJapan]

Yay, thanks for watching! ^^

[@Killjoy848]

I highly recommend the vegan omurice from a vegan cafe called ‘Choice’ right next to Sanjo station !

[@ChefinJapan]

Ooooo yes! That actually the one place I haven’t tried that I’ve been meaning to. Thanks for the recommendation~ ^^

[@hestology]

Agreed!

[@rebekkasmith6612]

I am in Kyoto for a couple of days. Is this a must have?

[@rebekkasmith6612]

@@hestology Is it a must have?

[@hestology]

@@rebekkasmith6612 I wouldn’t call it a must have. The food at Choice is always fine but if you want a more special experience I’d look at some of the places in the video, like Itadaki Zen.

[@agabrieliam]

Thank you so much for your videos, they're perfect - short but densely packed with info so I can just pause or go back to write something down. I can tell we have very similar tastes as half your list was already on the top of my list to try! The other 6 I just hadn't heard of. Looking forward to my visit soon, and I'm sure it will be all the more enjoyable because of you. Question for you: I've been seeing so many delicious strawberry things to try, I may be exchanging my chocolate addiction for a strawberry addiction on my trip - is it just a seasonal thing that these bites are so abundant, or are most of them available year round? Thank again!

[@ChefinJapan]

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad to hear the video was helpful. I’ll be making another updated one soon ^^ As for strawberries, they peak in Jan-May, but I think you can find them in sweets shops all year round! (just not the super market.) Happy Japan eating~

[@jonathansakura]

Greetings from korea 🇰🇷 😊❤ Keep the great content 👌 😊

[@ChefinJapan]

Thank you from Japan

[@oussama-tc4me]

Amazing

[@sarahaiken6559]

Love these videos. I make sure to add these to my list for when I’m in Kyoto in a few months. Is there anyway you can add the restaurant names to the description or keep the name on the screen longer?

[@ChefinJapan]

I can’t edit the video now, but I’ll add links to all of the mentioned restaurants in the description! Thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep it in mind for the next video~ ^^

[@ryanf6157]

OMG! My partner and I are travelling to Kyoto in September and we're going to try as many of these restaurants as possible! Thanks for the recs!

[@ChefinJapan]

Yay have the best time!!

[@tobigehring1888]

Thanks for that, in April we were so unlucky, NO restaurant were open when we needed it and we needed to live of 7Eleven... In 2 years we will be back and this time we will try this out

[@ChefinJapan]

Oh nooo, the secret hack to finding out if a restaurant is open is to check their instagram, the Google hours are not reliable here unfortunately 😅

[@tobigehring1888]

@@ChefinJapan Yeah we learned that the hard way :( Also Happycow hours are very random some times.

[@star-tingwithmyintuition3463]

is there another way of checking open times i am not on instagram @@ChefinJapan

[@eclogues_]

Thank you for this video! Very useful in planning a trip in a few months. But fyi, you've pasted the same link for Mumokuteki a few times in place of other restaurants.

[@ChefinJapan]

Ohh that’s strange, thanks for the heads up I’ll fix it ^^

[@jennikinnunen1221]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@ChefinJapan]

Yay, wishing you a great trip!

[@DemiGray]

When I went to Japan in 2019 I made a google maps list of all the vegan places I visited and wanted to visit! Sadly many of the places permanently closed because of the pandemic. I’m happy to see there are still options in Tokyo!

[@ChefinJapan]

Yess so many more opened up luckily, especially in Kyoto! ^^

[@RareBoom]

salivating....

[@ChefinJapan]

😁

[@Stargazer10000]

Great video, thanks for sharing! How accommodating are standard non vegan restaurants in Japan as a whole to make things vegan-friendly?

[@ChefinJapan]

Non vegan restaurants are not vegan friendly, however there are a lot of restaurants in Kyoto and Tokyo that offer clearly labeled vegan options even if they’re not a vegan restaurant!

[@star-tingwithmyintuition3463]

is the label for vegan that little green flower you showed, is that the case everywhere in japan or just that cafe? @@ChefinJapan

[@ChefinJapan]

@@star-tingwithmyintuition3463Hello! That was just for that specific restaurant. Restaurants with vegan options will usually label them as “vegan” or some sort of V

[@KL-rl7oi]

Thanks for sharing!! Do you know which restaurants have gluten free options? I may need to avoid oil due to health condition and is there any restaurant you would recommend? Thanks!🙏🏻

[@ChefinJapan]

Oh yeah, there are LOTS, almost all of the vegan restaurants will have GF options too. I’ll make a separate video for GF specific places. Thanks for the comment! ^^

[@Amalik83]

Very nice. Are there any veg or veg friendly restaurants near Kiyomizu dera? Thankw

[@ChefinJapan]

Yeah! Zirael is nearby there ^^

[@collectivemyrtle]

I want to visit them all @.@

[@ChefinJapan]

Yessss!

[@greggrey7917]

the Season of Cherry Blossom 🌸 is the Time of Dreams , " the fall of the Cherry Blossom petal 🌸, is as the fall of the tear of the Dreamcatcher ". catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish

[@ChefinJapan]

Lovely poem~ ^^

[@mscatherinelong67]

This is helpful, thanks. Who care about my non vegan friends! Bad luck to them

[@jlang893]

How would it be possible explore the culture of Japan if you were a vegan since it would be impossible eat any of the classic Japanese cuisine

[@ChefinJapan]

In tokyo theres actually lots of opportunities to try vegan version of classic Japanese dishes. I’ll be making a video on some good spots soon 😬

[@rebekkasmith6612]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these for us! You are amazing ❤️

[@ChefinJapan]

Thank youu so much for watching!

[@Sky_linez]

I’m so sad I only saw this now (even though this came out about a week after I was in Kyoto anyway) I did so much research trying to find vegetarian places and I hadn’t heard of any of these🥲

[@ChefinJapan]

Ahh, you’ll just have to come again!!
