100% buckwheat noodle and tasty soup - Edit
I tried Dattan buckwheat noodles and the vegetable soup for the first time, along with a small salad. Every dish was excellent and felt genuinely nourishing. The shopmaster explained that they don’t use any artificial ingredients or additives, which is a core part of their philosophy. I was also impressed to hear that all the staff here eat fully plant-based lunches — a wonderful practice that really reflects their values.
Read moreThe meal was worth more than what I paid, both in quality and experience. The seating area was cozy and comfortable, and as a foreign traveler, it was nice to have a small private space to relax for a moment.
I’d give this place five stars — not only for people on a vegan diet, but for anyone who wants truly high-quality food in Japan.

Good, fresh food but small portions - Edit
I love the "whole food plant-based" approach of Ikuri, and the food was very good and very fresh. However, I found the portions small for the price. We had the salad set, which came with soup and bread, and the soy burger with a small salad and small soup. We were seated in a small room that seemed to be part storage room or waiting area? Not sure. The staff was very friendly. Overall, a nice cafe but not my go-to for a dining experience, especially if you're hungry. Probably better for small lunch or dessert, though I didn't try the dessert.

Best matcha dessert ever! - Edit
This place needs more attention!
Read moreA bit far off the center, but it's so worth it!
The tatami rooms with view into a little garden, very healthy food and friendly sraff. The raw matcha tiramisu was the best matcha dessert I've ever had! 💚
The family also runs a hair dresser/ beauty salon in the same building, but unfortunately, their products aren't all vegan, apparently.

Lovely lunch spot near Kamigamo shrine - Edit
A hidden gem near the Kamo river, Ikuri cafe offers a tasty menu of buckwheat noodles, fresh salads, sourdough toasts, veggie burger platter, smoothies, herbal teas, coffee, natural wine, beer and vegan desserts. It has tatami room seating overlooking a garden in a beautifully designed building that combines a hair salon , natural beauty products sales and an all day cafe. The staff is welcoming and friendly, the service is efficient and there is a basic English menu. If you’re walking along the Kamo river, visiting the Kamogamo shrine or market or just want to get away from the center of the city, this is a great destination on a Kyoto city bus route.
