Soy Meat Okonomiyaki

Wow! Pensé que no probaría las okonomiyaki, pero encontramos su versión vegana en un local pequeño, con mesas en el suelo, y vistas al río. Súper chulo, y varias opciones veganas, entre ellas el okonomiyaki con carne de soja. #veganokonomiyaki

PSA: no need to visit this place during your trip to Kyoto. Here’s why: - There is always a long line at the entrance, if you arrive too late you might not even be able to queue because they put an end on it at around 19:30, since the restaurant closes at 21:30. - It’s not a vegan restaurant, most of their dishes are made with cruel ingredients and they only offer a few vegan Okonomiyaki - The Okonomiyaki are served on a hot stone / plate where they also cooked non-vegan food - the Okonomiyaki simply aren’t that good This version, made with soy meat, was very forgettable, with a nice texture yes but lacking flavor. As someone who waited over an hour for this mediocre meal, please let me tell you it’s not worth it. Bring your money somewhere else that cares more about animals, there are other vegan restaurants in Kyoto way more deserving than this place. #disappointing #kyoto #veganinjapan #okonomiyaki #japan #japanesefood #veganjapanesefood No

Non-vegan Okonomiyaki and Teppanyaki restaurant that has a couple vegan options on the menu. We had the okonomiyaki with soy meat, which was good but nothing to write home about. The place has a cool vibe (you have your own stove at your table where you can cook your food / keep it warm), however the wait to get in was super long (more than 1h) since it is apparently very popular and in a lovely location in old Kyoto. This is not really their fault but made our experience way worse. Personally I found it overhyped, food was indeed good but not worth the wait. I wouldn't recommend unless you're lucky enough to find a short line outside.

In this lovely restaurant in #Kyoto they have a dedicated separate #vegan menu that you should ask for 🥢 I ate here with a newly encountered hostel friend, who - despite being an omnivore - agreed to have a #plantbased lunch with me, yay! This #okonomiyaki is massive, with #soymeat pieces and a ton of #sauce - plus many more sauces are available to be added! And it’s served on a hot plate, so it doesn’t cool down. Delish!
