Cafe Guri - Kamakura

Very “Mikaku” !!!! Tasteful food in rustic Japanese surroundings. Definitely a visit and worth your money.

The lunch, along with dessert, was perfect; everything was incredibly delicious.

This café, located near Kamakura Station in the Kamakura Museum, offers a delightful experience of Japanese culture for both your palate and your eyes. Desserts are available upon request after your meal. On our visit, we chose the Chiffon Cake, Matcha Pudding, and Cosy. However, if you're vegan, it's important to communicate your dietary preferences clearly to the staff, as the items mentioned are not vegan-friendly. I personally avoid animal products, but I made sure to mention that I didn't want coffee jelly cream. For my main course, I selected a soup made from kelp and shiitake mushrooms, and it was incredibly rich and delicious!

Cafe Guri is conveniently located right across from Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, making it a delightful spot for a meal. As soon as we walked in, the staff inquired if we were vegetarian and promptly presented us with the vegan meal option. Though the selection is limited to just one choice, it is incredibly delicious! Our meal was served on exquisite traditional Japanese lacquerware that is available for purchase in the shop. We enjoyed fresh vegetables alongside some of the most tender tofu I’ve ever tasted. While the menu might not have a wide variety, the location truly cannot be surpassed.
