It depends on what your order - Edit
The egg sandwich, tan tan ramen, lemon affogato and latte were so good 😋🤩 it’d be a loss if I hadn’t tried them.
Read moreHowever, the yuba rice bowl was kind of boring. Tonkotsu ramen was so salty that my tongue became numb after eating it, and I didn’t really like the toppings, especially the red marinated ginger. I couldn’t finish the soup in the end.
And the matcha latte was a bit plain with not enough matcha flavor or scent.

OMG would come back everyday - Edit
It's been now 8years that I have stoped eating fish and I've tried so many false salmon sushi but the texture is never right. HERE IT DOES THE TRICK ! I've never had such good tasting vegan sushis ever especially salmon. I also had the dandan ; my non vegetarian friend said it everything was incredible and the sakura splash is a must-try.
Read moreWe also had Uji-matcha and chocolate cake. It was really good !
I really want to try again their sushis !!!! Would 20000% recommand.
Moreover the owner was super nice and told us about a festival happening 10minutes later in the area !
Pros: Food is amazingly good, The stafg is super nice, Good localisation

Tasty vegan "Egg" Sandwich and Sushi - Edit
We have been there for an early lunch (11:30 am). There were plenty seats free. You pay directly when you order the food. I can recommend the "Egg" Sandwich and the Sushi, both was really tasty and creative.
