In many parts of the world, it can be difficult to find vegetarian options \u2014 but Kumamoto is not one of them. Throughout the city, you\u2019ll find a wide variety of vegetarian-friendly restaurants serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/p>\n
Located in a transformed 140-year-old home, Purely Restaurant has a great atmosphere as well as delicious food. Every month, it serves a new vegetarian lunch. All the vegetables are local and the rice is organic. If you reserve in advance, you can also request a vegan miso soup with your lunch. Later in the day, the caf\u00e9 is open, where you can purchase natural foods to take home.<\/p>\n
Where:<\/strong> 15 Nakatoujinmachi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) For a fully vegan menu, head to Cafe Pony. This small spot just outside downtown Kumamoto serves mostly Japanese food, although it is particularly well known for its tasty hamburgers.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 12-13-6 Juzenji, Minami Ward (map<\/a>) At Piccolina, the chefs will prepare you a custom meal using whatever ingredients the restaurant has available that day. It\u2019s always possible to ask for something vegetarian \u2014 the staff speak English and will understand your request. In addition to your main dish, you\u2019ll receive bread, soup, salad, pasta, and coffee.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> South Five Second Building, 1F, 5-18 Minamitsuboimachi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) As a macrobiotic restaurant, Hibari Kitchen has mostly a vegan menu (the exception being that some dishes contain honey). You\u2019ll find great options for a light meal or snack, including bento, onigiri, and soup.<\/p>\n Where: <\/strong>2-4-20 Sadohara, Higashi-ku, Higashi Ward (map<\/a>) Although 333\/BaBaBa serves all kinds of Asian cuisine, it specializes in Vietnamese and Thai dishes. If you let the restaurant know beforehand, you can receive a full vegetarian dinner. In the past, the restaurant also served lunch and may do so again the future.<\/p>\n Where: <\/strong>1F, Kusaba Mansion, 4-5, Kusabamachi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) Specialists in shojin ryori Buddhist cuisine, Soshoku Tsune offers a variety of dishes, all of which are free from animal products. Enjoy large plates of tofu and vegetables flavored with five different pungent roots. Drop in for dinner or make a reservation for lunch (the restaurant requires at least one day\u2019s notice).<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> 6-4 Minamitsuboimachi, Chuo Ward (map<\/a>) Although there are only a few dedicated vegetarian restaurants in Kumamoto, many have options on their menu. If you\u2019ll be in Kumamoto for a while, there\u2019s enough choice to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n Donald Trung Quoc Don (Ch\u1eef H\u00e1n: \u5fb5\u570b\u55ae) – Wikimedia Commons – \u00a9 CC BY-SA 4.0 International.(Want to use this image?)Original publication \ud83d\udce4: –Donald Trung \u300e\u5fb5\u570b\u55ae\u300f (No Fake News \ud83d\udcac) (WikiProject Numismatics \ud83d\udcb4) (Articles \ud83d\udcda) 14:43, 11 January 2023 (UTC)<\/a>, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In many parts of the world, it can be difficult to find vegetarian options \u2014 but Kumamoto is not one of them.
