Where People of All Needs Can Eat Together in Kyoto | Non-vegetarians Stunned by Amazing Vegan Food

[@mortadasaleh7423]

Me a Muslim: This puts a smile in my face 😊

[@animeotaku307]

For vegetarians/vegans who want to go to Japan, also keep an eye out for shojin ryori, as it’s vegan cuisine. But yeah, this place looks amazing. Now I just got to convince my bro to go, too.

[@LetsaskShogo]

精進料理 shojin-ryori would be something I’d like to introduce soon too! Thank you very much😊

[@wareforcoin5780]

It's pretty encouraging to know that there's somewhere where I can kick back and order anything in Japan. I hope they stray in business long enough for me to come visit them.

As a Muslim who has been to Japan, there are options for food in Tokyo area but I had not been to Kyoto. Finding that there is Halal/Muslim friendly food is good to know and also that it looks delicious. Thank you.

Finding places like this in Japan was so hard when I was there last time. I'm happy things are changing for vegans and vegetarians!

As a Gluten Free Vegan, this restaurant is definitely going on my list!! Looks like Kyoto is becoming my favorite city in Japan again!

[@kakashiroks]

First let me get out of the way saying: this is a great video and I really enjoyed watching it. But all of your videos are great. What I really love about this video is that you in Kazu are expanding your borders and trying new things. I think that a lot of people even in America are nervous about trying vegan food, so I think it’s great that you are showing how good it can be.

[@LetsaskShogo]

Thank you for leaving a comment! And I am very glad that you say so😊

I will go to that place when i'm able to visit Japan, Kyoto being my first stop. Thank you.

[@TopLob]

Being a vegetarian tourist is very hard, and vegan must be even harder. As a vegetarian you can always find Indian restaurants when you're in a pinch. I've become quite a professional at finding ways, but it's still very hard and takes a lot of time and money. It was easier when I lived there, as I could just make my own food.

[@discocub]

So exciting! I’m going to be traveling to Kyoto with a vegetarian friend in the next year or two. Now, we can both eat at the same place! Thank you for sharing. ☺️

[@FlameMirage]

Yay! My parents are vegetarian and I struggled in Osaka last time to go find foods for my mum and balance this with visiting all destinations planned.

[@NotSpockToo]

Thank you so much for this! We are taking a tour next year and will be visiting places right near this restaurant. As long time vegetarians we were worried we'd have a hard time finding places to eat when on our own. We've put this on our must visit list. Your videos are so wonderful and really help us plan and feel like we will be okay visiting Japan.

[@halfpastzen]

Super happy to see this, from what I gathered it would be rather hard for me to find vegan food that I wasn't making myself if I came to visit Japan. Its amazing to know more options are opening up! Also, cheers to them for using the metallic straws. Thanks for sharing!

its actually rare to find vegan/vegetarian places here in japan. most cafe/restaurant will offer vegetarian dishes but usually many seasonings, and the way things are prepared, involve fish for example. still amazes me, that people here in japan think of vegetarians as still eating seafood. also amaze me, how rare it is to find brown rice when eating out, considering how much more nutritious it is compared to white rice

I’m so glad you were open to try vegan food 🤗, because you could discover exactly what Veganism looks for: a healthier, more sustainable, and respectful way to live in this world with our fellow animals, and... without having to sacrifice our enjoyment!! 😍 It’s really a win-win-win situation 😎. I really recommend you watch “Earthlings”, an amazing documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix. It’s tough to watch, but it’s the reality we live in, a reality we can change. You are a nice, smart and humble man, so I think that movie will give you many good thoughts and learnings, and you will completely understand what veganism is. Thanks for the video, and I wish to see other vegan restaurants in kyoto!!

[@terryenby2304]

This is really exciting! I am not vegetarian, but “plant based” so I do eat some meat (because of health reasons) so I like to eat a lot of vegetarian and vegan foods. I also have a lot of dietary restrictions, and I think lots of places where I live are hard to navigate, let alone a whole new country with menus in a different language. Thankfully I can eat white bread and white rice, and skinless potatoes. So I can usually find *something* to eat. It’s just very difficult and painful if I pick something else out.

[@agabrieliam]

Shogo, I really enjoy your videos a lot, but some of them (like this one) are a bit long for what they are. I've been watching DAYS' worth of videos in preparation for learning Japanese, Japanese culture, and visiting Japan, and the length of the video is one of the things I consider before watching. I watched this one because it's a place I'm looking most forward to, but it's something to keep in mind in the future. Don't be afraid to make your videos too short. You're very charismatic and entertaining to watch, but I think you can drop some of the more mundane footage. Thanks for your content!

[@brucekirkpatrick3653]

A California style restaurant! Brick walls and all. What did it cost? Knowing it's not supposed to be Japanese to ask....but tourists would want to know.

[@grey5626]

Some of the prices were visible on the menu. For example, the lunch set which came with appetizers and a drink was 1870円 or approximately $16.49 USD. Some of the sides were listed such as 648円 (approximately $5.71 USD) for fries, or 648円 for hummus and chips. Desserts appeared to be priced from 500円 (approximately $4.41 USD) to 715円 ($6.30 USD). The dinner courses presumably are more elaborate than the lunch set, with prices listed as 3850円 (approximately $33.95) to 5500円 (approximately $48.49 USD). In general, these prices seem in alignment, or more affordable than vegan restaurants such as Millennium in Oakland, California. I am unclear whether the menu prices in Japan typically include consumption taxes (which may be 8-10% contingent upon various factors from what I was able to research), however unlike the USA, tipping is not customary and might result in strange interactions if attempted.

[@annina134]

Vegetarian yes.....but vegan isn't popular at all. The best way to find a remotely vegan restaurants is looking for restaurants that serve buddhist monks dishes.

[@klausernstthalheim9642]

@@annina134 Don't worry, the dishes in japan are delicious. It's just most dishes in Japan contain eggs and/or fish, so finding something vegan unprepared means you starve. Advertised vegan restaurants aren't common, especially outside Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka. But if look into the monk cuisine, you find vegan dishes. If you just want to eat vegetarian, this quite easy to achieve. I've just seen several tourists, with weird expectation for Japan (like it's a vegan paradise....finding girlfriends, while lacking themself...communicating in english outside Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka etc.). It's a lovely country, but you need to be prepared. I visited it several times and it was great. And if you aren't vegetarian at all, you should try Kobe beef once in a lifetime, it's divine.

[@klausernstthalheim9642]

@@annina134 Yeah it's a good idea to learn japanese. In my experience japanese main difficulty is reading and writing (because of Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana), but communicating verbally is easy, simply the grammar is quite logical and there are only few exceptions especially compared to german (still have trouble to explain to my brazilian buddies the pattern of my language, only icelandic and basque are worser for foreigner in Europe to learn). Japanese appreciate you warmly for your effort. If you want explore Japan off road in the autumn season i can recommend Nikko, because of hot springs and it tend to be like a surreal impressionist painting of a giant temple complex (some trees with bright red leafs, while others are bright green, yellow blueish green or purple). But of course Kyoto, Nara etc. is one of the must see especially in spring (just avoid japanese holidays).

Unfortunately you can't recommend it to everyone because none of it really aligns with a keto/zero carb lifestyle. Something that's actually a necessity since it's the best lifestyle change for people with insulin resistance (veganism is not despite what they want you to believe. There are just some essential nutrients you can only get from animal meats I'm sorry to say.). There is potential for it to be workable around the carnivore lifestyle (a zero carb way of eating) but it would take some considerable modifications that I'm sure they wouldn't like. So, no. As a highly insulin resistant (non-diabetic) ketovore, I can say this restaurant isn't for everyone. That said, I did really enjoy this style of video so please do more!

[@tacoface5000]

Got a cousin who is vegan. She makes me try all sorts of stuff that's "Just as good" and "I'll never be able to tell the difference" and maybe 3 of them so far have tasted roughly like it's supposed to, but not a single one of them has a texture that could pull one over on me in a blindfold test; I guarantee it. The vegan Burnt Ends actually made me sick to my stomach, so I never put stock in vegan food that's meant to replicate meat. Tofu can make some tasty stuff, but if you want a steak, eat a steak
