Obanzai at 玄米だし茶漬け 虹屋 nijiya VEGAN FARM — Valentina's Review (Oct 27, 2023)

Hands down the best dinner I had on my trip. I queued for 1h and 15mins to eat here, as they only have 6 seats in this small #veganrestaurant, and honestly I chose it because it was the only option open until late (every place in Japan closes so early at dinner!). I did not know the excitement that would expect me.
The six seats are facing the super kind boss lady, in a bar-seating style, so she prepares the dishes and passes them to you over the counter.
This was the first thing I ordered and every little bit was bursting with flavour: my favourite being the tiny perfectly cut eggplant you see on the bottom left; it was not all cut through, in fact it was a whole piece, but cut with such precision and regularity to make you awe before even tasting it. Soooooo good.
You can choose the option with three little plates or the one with five: I chose the former just in order to have more space in the stomach for ordering much more things.
