Ko-so Cafe - Japan

I revisited this restaurant after almost 10 years since my last visit and I was pleased to see the significant improvements they have made. The menu is now wider, the dishes taste better, and the service is great. I will definitely be returning here. I tried their signature spicy soy meat fried chicken nugget, which was very flavorful, juicy, and had a great texture that literally melts in your mouth. The sandwiches were also impressive, with soft, melting bread and a light richness in taste that leaves you feeling satisfied but not heavy. The tiramisù was good, although not the best in the city, and the pound cake was also very enjoyable, especially when paired with the excellent soy cream. I was satisfied overall. The ginger onigiri (rice ball) was great for a quick bite, and the soup was excellent - creamy, tasty, and light. I also recommend trying their special drinks, such as koso soda and brown tea. The staff was friendly, helpful, and smiling despite being busy. The shop is small with limited space and the interior is not impressive, but it is fair enough. The only downside was that the staff still wear masks, which made it uncomfortable as I couldn't see their facial expressions and it made me feel like they were all sick.

The coconut cream pasta was satisfying. Pancakes came with fresh and frozen fruit and cream, but no syrup. I'd probably skip the pancakes next time. The lunch sandwiches looked delicious. The staff was great about seating guests for maximal social distance in the restaurant. Loved that this place was all vegan.

The vegan food at this restaurant is quite good. I enjoyed their specialty tempura soy rice. However, the risotto can get a bit monotonous after a while.

Google brought us here. It's not a much talked about vegan cafe/restaurant but here's a gem. Our aim was to have dessert rather than a meal. I can only comment about the dessert. It was one of the best I have eaten amongst the few cafes we've been to. My only feedback was that they could have paired the tiramisu with a little bit of fruit compote so the creaminess will not be too overwhelming. Having said that, it was still delish! Maybe I just had one too many!

Rich, decadent, gluten-free vegan pancakes. Haven’t tried the rest of the menu, but worth a visit just for the pancakes.
