What is Veganism？
Veganism is a lifestyle and food choice that avoids all animal-based ingredients, and has become popular in recent years as a more environmentally and ethically conscious way of living.
At its core is the belief that animals should not be harmed for human consumption. A vegan lifestyle excludes all products derived from animals, including meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and honey.
When people hear the words “vegan food”, they tend to imagine meals that are limited to salads or fruit. However, the menu prepared for this event is anything but simple.
Designed not only for those who follow a vegan diet, but also for guests who are new to vegan cuisine, our dishes will offer generous portions filled with new delicious discoveries.

Chef: Nishiura Kohei
After training at restaurants in Kobe, Osaka, and France, our chef went on to serve as head chef at several renowned French restaurants in Osaka, including the modern French restaurant La Chic in Yodoyabashi.
