  • For the ¥550 breakfast buffet, get a ticket early and arrive before opening; seats are limited and dishes may not be replenished once they run out.
  • The fresh local vegetables, pickles, and vegetable sides are a recurring highlight; ask whether tofu or other vegan proteins are available that day.

About

This self-service buffet centers on fresh local vegetables, with breakfast reported at ¥550 and later meals at higher prices. Vegan diners have found clearly labeled vegetables, pickles, and some sides, but reports differ on whether hot dishes, sauces, and noodles are reliably vegan; arrive early for breakfast, since popular items may run out.
