Wow, imagine having such a kawaii teacher- and vegan, too. Thanks so much for the video 🌱

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.

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

[blaux]

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!

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

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

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

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!

[tobigehring]

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

Question: is it common to take the food what you couldn‘t finish at the Restaurant with you, like we use to do sometimes in Europe?

[patti-annetakakura]

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

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.

[sarahaiken]

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?

[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!

Thank you so much for this video. <3 And thank you for mentioning the gluten free options. 11/10! I can't wait to try these places in october, bliss! :D

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!
