Renkon-Ya
A small, authentic izakaya with seating for only a few guests, known for its traditional Japanese small plates uniquely prepared in front of diners by the hostess. The menu clearly marks around 11 vegan and vegetarian options, including standout dishes like fried tofu, lotus root with mustard, and kelp onigiri. The atmosphere is cozy and quiet with quick service, and credit cards are accepted despite the intimate setting.
