Great atmosphere and snacks - Edit
After walking the Nakasendo, Happy Cow came to the rescue once again and I had some lovely vegan oyaki and melon flavoured shaved ice. Don't miss the yard in the back, with a pond and a cozy atmosphere.

Good snacks - Edit
I had one of each of the oyaki. The apple one was sooo good. After hiking the trail from Magome, it was great to have a place to rest and eat a snack. They also sell some beautiful ceramics

Gorgeous unexpected vegan food - kind owners - Edit
Really delicious Oyaki (steamed buns) with several vegan feelings and desserts (gohei-mochi and mitarashi-dango), the little shop is super cute and the owners were really smiley and kind. It was such a lovely surprise to find vegan food in the middle of the mountains after a few soba places said they couldn't accommodate vegan. Really recommended!

Vegan surprise! - Edit
We didn't really expect to find anything vegan in this small historic street, but surprisingly their mushroom and veggie steamed bun is vegan and very yummy for a small snack. The other buns might be vegan aswell (didn't ask).
Read moreThe glazed dango doesn't contain any fish, that's the second vegan item I found.
They also provide hot tea (it's still cold outside) and/or water. There is an open seating area behind the shop. And the staff there was lovely! The owner is very open to conversation but only speaks a little English.
Shop also sells some souvenirs.
Pros: very friendly staff, cosy
