Momiji-so - Hatsukaichi

Place to eat with 2 vegetarian a 1 vegan plates. I liked the vegan dish I ate, it was a noodle soup mainly with algae and tofu. It's super near the ropeway to go to the minsen obserbatory

We experienced there was a number of restaurants reported as open that were actually closed on the day of our intended visit. That was the case for Momiji-so today, unfortunately. So disappointing

We had the vegetable and tofu udon and the vegetable curry. Both were amazing and full of flavour. Perfect meal post Mt Misen climb. Plenty of outdoor seating in beautiful surroundings. A must visit when on true island, especially to get some respite from the tour crowds. Owner are super friendly and go well out of their way to accommodate

We stopped here on our way to the ropeway station. The couple who ran it were super helpful and showed us all the vegan options. There is outdoor and indoor seating these days. The vegan ramen was delicious with a few options to choose from. Definitely hold out from the town shops and come here instead!!

Our family ate hear after going up to the top. The owner was very friendly and the food was awesome. He understood vegan, perhaps due to the Buddhist nature of the sacred island.
