Japan is one of the hardest countries to find vegan food, and we have to rely on each other to identify noteworthy places. Kamui Restaurant in Hakuba, Nagano, Japan is one of those places that has been identified by other vegans as a spot to go and eat. So we made a booking.
We were allocated a spot at the bar, the restaurant is quite small and all the tables were full. The ambience was quite relaxed and the wooden decor was quite beautiful. We had the vegan sushi rolls, it was filled with pickles, avocado and cucumber. It tasted fresh.
The seasonal vegetable tempura was lightly battered and fried. The tempura was crispy and it was served with a dipping sauce. There was also soy sauce on the table. The dish was fresh and the vegetables seasonal.
I read that they have a vegan ramen but it seems they were out of stock on the night we visited, and I didn't feel like eating a salad in -1 degree weather. The staff were friendly and attentive. A good option for night time dining in Hakuba.
