In Search of… Natural Food

October 8, 2007 By 5 Comments

Here is a short list of locations where you can get hold of natural food supplies and other earth friendly products while in Kyoto. It is far from exhaustive I’m sure, so if you know of any other places you think should be up here, write and tell me in the comments box below, or send me a mail at luain37@yahoo.co.jp. Donguri is a small shop on Kitaoji that is packed full … [Read more...]

Earth Kitchen Company

Earth Kitchen Company on Marutamachi offers Japanese “Obento” lunch-boxes that are completely natural, chemical-free and super-nutritious. They have a variety of lunch-boxes on offer; meat-based, fish-based and tofu-based and all are priced at ¥735. In addition to the tofu lunchboxes, vegetarians can also enjoy the veggie salad croquettes, soybean croquettes and deep fried … [Read more...]

Mikoan

UPDATE (November 19th 2013): Walking on Teramachi a few days ago I noticed a sign up at the closed entrance to Mikoan. Unfortunately it seems there was a fire there and the owner was badly hurt. She is now recovering in hospital, but at this time it is not clear when or if Mikoan will open again. We hope and pray for the owner's speedy recovery. 彌光庵 was founded by a lady … [Read more...]

Hatake Cafe Oishii

July 3, 2007 By Michael Lambe 2 Comments

UPDATE 2010: Another victim of the economic decline. This place I'm told closed in September. This is a woody little place, with counter and table seats and a down to earth atmosphere. Lunch is a set menu (changes daily) with brown rice, miso soup and a salad type appetizer all for ¥700. If you have a drink after lunch, it's another ¥100, otherwise a cup of chai will set you … [Read more...]

Sunshine Cafe

June 28, 2007 By dk-admin89 1 Comment

UPDATE: Sunshine Cafe has now closed. Sunshine Cafe is a very pleasant location for lunch or dinner if you happen to be in the town centre. All ingredients here are 100% natural, organic and healthy, and though not a vegetarian restaurant they do have many vegetarian options. The lunch-time menu is basically a choice between a light curry, bagel sandwiches, open … [Read more...]

Sunny Place

June 13, 2007 By 5 Comments

Last December, Sunny Place, a vegan restaurant previously situated in Kitayama, moved serendipitously not a five minute cycle ride from my house. It's name is apt, as it's a brightly lit shop with a friendly atmosphere. They also have a nice range of Coedo organic beers each for ¥600. If you go for the "定食" or set meal option you get a main dish of your choice, rice (whole … [Read more...]
