most excitingly, i might be heading to japan for a little visit in march next year, if all goes to plan...
and of course i begin my looking forward to it now, starting with remembrance of delicious/wonderful cafes in kyoto.
here are some more that are simply great. either all vegetarian, or vegetarian options with a strong organic leaning...
deep kyoto and vegjapan were the source for many of these images.
i have also added a link section on the left there to japanese vegetarian that i come across.

ReplyDeletevery interesting information.
i´m planing to move to japan for a while, for the next year. to the adventure!
let´s see if it happens.
To clarify, are you in Kyoto or in Melbourne?
ReplyDeleteIf you're still in Kyoto, you're missing a couple of good ones.
Can you believe I went to the party for the opening of efish cafe? So many years ago now. Gorgeous spot on the Kamo gawa.
ReplyDeleteAnd Obanzai was a regular haunt for me too. And Mikoan, yes, well we've already talked about the cats and the unique ambience of that cafe.
How lucky if you get to go in Sakura season.
Forgot to say - you must go to WOMB cafe on the north-east side of town if you have time. Fantastic food and a really gorgeous modern space.
ReplyDeletethanks nazara - that is so great about your plans!!! and thanks kylie, that would have been a lovely party:) so glad to hear you enjoyed these ones too, funny to think we probably shared a table one day! and womb! yes, i couldn't remember the name, but i went there many times - lovely space. thanks for the reminder! also did you ever go to prinz cafe - up near kitaoji/shirakawa? lovely space too..
ReplyDeletejj, i am in melbourne. it wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list, just little ones that i recall fondly, and with good vegetarian options. i am always interested to discover new ones, so looking forward to that when/if i can go back.
Sigh....I remember Japanese cafes in Japan. So quiet and peaceful. It was actually possible to hear a friend talking! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI never lived in Kyoto however, I went to many cafes in my area.
If I ever pop back to Japan for a visit, then I will try and drop by these cafes. Thanks for the post.
hi jason, that's a nice memory...i am sure there are still someplaces like that in melbourne too, somewhere?? i hope you do get to visit them sometime.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this list of lovely cafes! I have bookmarked it to take on my trip in November.
ReplyDeleteoh bree this is excellent! i've really got to go to kyoto this autumn and i will be refering to your wonderful list of recommendations!
