Shojin Cafe Foi Nishikuginukicho

We stumbled upon this restaurant without any prior knowledge and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The menu offers a wide variety of options for a vegan restaurant, all of which were delicious and reasonably priced. We decided to indulge in a foot bath while enjoying a decadent dessert, creating a relaxing experience. The waitress, an elderly woman, was incredibly kind and welcoming. Our experience was amazing and we will definitely make a point to stop by again whenever we are in Wakayama.

This lovely venue offers tasty food in a delightful setting, with an English menu provided. It serves as both a café and restaurant.

I can’t believe I never knew about this restaurant. They have a huge menu and our meals were absolutely delicious. I got some ramen and it was absolutely perfect. If there’s anything I didn’t really enjoy it was the coffee, a bit too bitter for my taste. I’ll get another drink next time. After our meal, we paid ¥500 to use the foot spa and, my by surprise, they gave us free vegan soft cream! I’ll be back again!

I always had problem finding a vegetarian restaurant in Wakayama (not a big city), so I was really happy to find one finally! I go there once a week basis. They have a weekly platter, the main dish is always new to me. The amazing thing is, they have popular home-cooking Japanese dishes, such as “Katsu” (deep-fried pork) or “Karaage” (fried chicken), but of course not meat, substituted with “soybean meat”. This place is not expensive vegetarian food like served at temples in Japan. I also recommend their curry and hot pot. These really warm up your body. Their desserts are really good (not too sweet) and a variety of choices!

Most of their menu is vegan. The waitwr we had was vwgan as well and understood what I could not eat. I had the cutlet plate with brown rice. The tea was so good as well. For desert i had the walnut cake. They have a little store inaide to buy some of things they use for their meals.
