Very delicious Noodle Soup - Edit
Just tell them when ordering that you would like the dish to be vegan. They’ll know what to do.

Nice warm meal with local cuisine - Edit
There is plenty of parking in the parking lot out back. They have two options that can be made vegan - just be sure to ask for it ti. R veganized so they use the vegan broth. They offer pumpkin hoto (regional dish characterized by wide noodles) or mushroom hoto. I ordered pumpkin fir there and mushroom to go. Both were delicious.
Read moreThey also offer four kinds of vegan soft serve. The staff was very friendly.
Pros: Vegan options where there are so few, Regional cuisine, Friendly service
Cons: Not marked as vegan on the menu

Generous portions, great taste - Edit
Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to try the regional dish houtou. The staff understand what vegan means and are able to veganize some of the menu options. When I went I could pick between pumpkin and mushroom houtou. I recommend getting the houtou set, which comes with several side dishes. Delicious and very filling!

Delicious - Edit
You can order just the hot pot instead of the set (500¥ difference). To be honest just the hotpot would be enough for me, the set was alot of food for me.
Read moreYou can order pumpkin or mushroom hoto and say that you want it vegan with konbu dashi. Although not listed on the menu, all of the staff seems to know what vegan means, so making it vegan was so easy (they do get alot of vegan guests).
Soup is delicious and the homemade large noodles are great - very tasty. The hoto has lots of veggies, mushroom and tofu in addition to noodles.

Delicious hot pot speciality of the region - Edit
I had the pumpkin hot pot, which they happily made vegan on my request. The food was delicious, fresh and the restaurant was very comfortable! The staff was amazingly kind and helpful.

Tasty noodle dish - Edit
Nothing was specifically listed on the menu, but the staff knew what vegan was when I asked for the Kombu Dashi broth. The noodles were super tasty, like a fat udon noodle. I ordered the mushroom and my partner ordered the pumpkin. I would probably recommend the pumpkin though unless you are obsessed with mushrooms because they put a LOT on top and it could probably do with some more noodles to balance it out.

Hoto好吃 - Edit
素食有兩道餐點可食，蘑菇、南瓜。
Read more很像台灣的小火鍋，鍋內配菜還滿多的，如果食量大者，建議點套餐，有多一些小菜及一碗飯。
單點¥1500、¥1200，套餐再加¥500。

Tasty houtou, accommodating staff - Edit
While nothing is explicitly called vegan or veggie on the menu, when I asked for kombu dashi instead of fish dashi, they were happy to oblige. The mushroom houtou was delicious and filling. Recommended.
