We ate there again yesterday (see previous entry here) after the baby care class. Mixed vegetable and avocado sandwiches on the left, tofu burger on the right. Plenty big enough for a gaijin appetite.

is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant conveniently located at the corner of Imadegawa and Higashioji Streets, an area known as hyakumanben in the district of Kyoto University.

I had a delicious Thai style green curry there today with organic brown rice. Yoshiko had tofu chicken that I refused to believe was not real chicken. I made the waitress come over and swear that it wasn’t real chicken kara-age, but I still can’t believe it. They also have a big gaijin-sized soyburger, and that is my next target.

Tasty, but a bit funny because they are on the third floor above gyudon (1F) and yakiniku (2F) restaurants. Here is their website.

UPDATE: I emailed the restaurant, and it turns out the waitress I talked to was the owner, so I guess I’ll concede that the chicken really was made of soybeans. Also, she replied that the location of Cafe Peace above the two beef restaurants was no ironic accident:

“When I opened Cafe Peace, I deliberately choose that location.The motive of starting this restaurant was to spread Veganism & Animal ethics. So my target was not only vegetarian but mainly meat eater.”

Good place. I’ll be back.
