Hakuba, located in the breathtaking Japanese Alps, is a renowned destination for winter sports enthusiasts, offering world-class skiing and snowboarding. Beyond its stunning slopes and alpine scenery, Hakuba also has a growing culinary scene, including Sol, a small but welcoming vegan cafe!
Sol is a cozy cafe-style eatery that offers a completely vegan and gluten-free menu. Unlike many restaurants that try to cater to all diets, Sol is dedicated to plant-based dining, making it a great option for vegans and those with dietary restrictions.
The cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for guests looking to enjoy a relaxed meal in a peaceful setting. Whether you are stopping by after a day on the slopes or simply looking for a wholesome bite to eat, Sol provides a welcoming space for all visitors.
Sol offers some delicious hot sandwiches with a variety of fillings, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
One of my favourites was the vegan karaage combo, a satisfying plant-based take on the classic Japanese fried chicken dish. Their crispy soy-based karaage is seasoned with a flavourful blend of spices and served with onigiri and a salad. The karaage has a crunchy texture on the outside while remaining tender on the inside, making it a delicious option for those craving a comforting and protein-rich vegan dish.
Sol offers a carefully curated selection of hot drinks that complement the plant-based menu. Guests can enjoy organic coffee, herbal teas, lattes, chai lattes and hot chocolate, providing a great selection to choose from when coming in from the cold.
While Hakuba is not widely known for vegan dining, Sol provides an excellent option for plant-based travellers and is the reason we chose to have our holiday at Hakuba. Their dedication to using fresh, local ingredients aligns with its commitment to sustainability and ethical eating.
This small, yet delightful cafe delivers delicious, plant-based meals in a cosy setting. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this cafe!
