Sankara And - Yakushima

Very chic, very expensive vegan food. we paid about $100/person for dinner. the entire evening meal experience lasted 2.5 hours we were there in autumn 2016. the hotel is very nice. we found it easy to make a reservation and easy to find. we were a little confused where we should park our car rental. the environment was a bit rigid and not very relaxing. we were constantly expecting something from us, and we didn't know what. the waiting period between each small plate varied, but was about 10-15min. we had a lot of time. the server has not checked us very often. the whole meal lasted 2.5 hours eating was quite good, but not the best we had. we were very full when we were gone. the cook prepared every dish fresh and the presentation was very unique. we were led from the entrance of the hotel to the restaurant above. it was very illuminated and the decor was pretty. the tables and stands were large and have created a little private sphere between guests. when they enter, there is a bar and the cooking area to the right, while the seats look to the left window. I had to go to the bathroom during our 2.5-hour dinner and the workers saw me as if I were suspicious. it was very strange and so felt the whole environment. according to our opinion, it was a very unique experience, but probably not worth what we paid.

I often find that non-vegan, but vegan-friendly restaurants in japan tend to simply remove animal products from their directed rather than create something completely new. so I was so happy with my culinary experience in sankara. I was in the hotel for a few days with a friend who worked on a project and eating every one I had was an absolute joy. from breakfast to dinner, the chefs in sankara continue to offer delicious food at any meal. my friend, who is not vegan, eventually changed to the vegan kitchen when he saw how amazing everything looked (and he has become vegetarian since. I did not want to go through any meals, but a few of the highlights were: -homemade skorone and marmalade at breakfast -quash steaks marinated in sojasoße - roasted mushroom burger -tofu cheese -depth roasted vegetables and craters from the hotel garden -mango tofu eis - strawberry pudding altogether was all rival there
