Shojin Cafe Foi Shintouri - Wakayama

We went around 15 minutes to reach this place by jr. the roasted bark stea circle was crispy and the curry hot pot was not spicy and good taste. we wanted to stay here longer. but I had a train to catch. I hope they enjoy the food on this place for the next time. it is a kind that is in the position. 牛 牛ος香ς!ός也ς也ς也ς也ς也ς!ς!ς!ς!ς!ς!ς味ς道ς!ς!ς!ς!ς!ς!ς!ς! I've been through

Eating was great and the staff was very helpful. I managed to get some typps to survive over a few weeks in japan as a vegan. there is also a small business where I bought a vegan curry romance that my friend then built the next day. it was great. you can also buy soy meat. try the lion tooth coffee, very interesting! easy to reach from the train station and easy to find.

We called an hour before the opening of their load to confirm whether they are still in business and whether they have an option for non-onion vegetarian. then they asked if we wanted to make a reservation, and so we did. if we had not made a reservation, we might have waited outside because they were packed quite on this day (a Saturday afternoon). because of their wonderful eating (I would recommend the fishstick, our favorite) and service, my man and I spent a wonderful weekend in wakayama. :3 will eat there again.

On a trip to Wakayama, my girlfriend and I decided to check this place out for lunch after having a look at the castle. It was quite conveniently located about half way between the JR station and the Castle (about a 10 minute walk from either). And a short walk from the nearest bus stop (Mikimachishintori). The front of the building was quite stylish and impressive, and as we entered, we found the same to be true of the inside. The main instrument of decoration was the humble gourd. While an interesting choice, it was pulled off very well. We sat down, and began perusing the menu that was in the table. The menu was all in Japanese, but mostly had pictures to help out. The server who took our order, while far from fluent, had enough English for us to confirm that all of the mains (but not all of the desserts) were vegan. In the end we both ending up having Today's Lunch set one with a mince cutlet, the other with a ham cutlet. Shortly afterwards we both received a small cup with some kind of spiced brown sugar beverage, which was a nice touch. When the meals came, they were very artfully presented with four small portions of salads, rice, the cutlets, and soup. All the food was delicious, though the ham cutlet was definitely superior to the mince Afterwards we had drinks (included in the set). I had a caffeine free coffee, which I didn't think was fantastic, but then I'm hardly a coffee person. Overall, the experience was excellent. The location is very convenient, the food was great, it was quite cheap, and the environment was superb. If you're in Wakayama city for lunch, this is definitely the place to go.

I visit there frequently. The food, atmosphere, and service are great. The prices are reasonable. However, they are neither shojin (Japanese Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) nor vegan. Their whole wheat bread contains butter and chai comes with cream if you do not speak up. The owners are Japanese, but belong to a Taiwanese religion, so the menu does have both Japanese and Taiwanese offerings, as well as mostly vegan modern takes of Western food. They do a lot of fake meat stuff. The soy ham and the seitan karaage (Chinese friend chicken) were good, while the fake baked fish and fake deep friend shrimp, and nabemono were excellent. I also l had a deep friend corn burger that was OK, while a friend of mine liked her seitan burger a lot. Unfortunately, to appeal to the modern Japanese palette, there is a heavy emphasis on deep fried food. Also, the Chinese, Japanese, and Western vegetable stocks they sell are very high in sodium. They opened a new restaurant in a different location last month that is bigger than the 10-year original and that stays open until 21:00, last order at 20:30. It has ashiyu (foot baths) in the bake and you can eat while soaking your feet. Updated from previous review on Monday March 02, 2015
