Gin-katsutei - Hakone

We called ahead to confirm their vegan options, but the staff was not very helpful and only showed us a menu. They were unwilling to recommend any dishes that could be made vegan and simply said, "If they want more information, they can look at the menu."

We visited this restaurant last night and inquired about vegan options (we speak basic Japanese). We were provided with a menu to see if there was anything suitable for us, but unfortunately there was not. We understand it was a busy evening for the restaurant (with 10 people waiting in line), so we realize they may not have been able to accommodate our request. However, it was disappointing that they were unable to offer any vegan options upon our arrival.

The restaurant offers teishoku style meals that include soup, salad, and a matcha dessert. Although they did not advertise a vegetarian option, they were willing to accommodate our request when we asked.

Before visiting the restaurant, we called ahead to inquire about the vegan options. Unfortunately, the staff seemed uninterested in assisting us and only provided information on one dish. We were told to come to the restaurant to learn more about the menu options suitable for vegans.

My partner and I visited the restaurant yesterday evening. We inquired about vegan options (we are proficient in Japanese) and were provided with a menu to check for suitable dishes. Unfortunately, there were no vegan options available. It was a busy night for the restaurant with over 10 people waiting in line, so we understand they may not have been able to accommodate our request. Keep in mind that dining here as a vegan may be hit or miss, as they may not always be able to offer suitable options upon arrival.
