Taiko Udon - Hiroshima

I have been living in japan for about two and a half years, and it is hard to believe, but that was my first vegan udon outside of home. they have marked a digital menu with the Veg options. the broth for the vegan udon is completely plant-based and they can easily remove the egg from the few vegetarian options to make this fully vegan. the staff was so friendly and friendly and told us that they have plans to make the menu even more vegan friendly! I had the kitsune udon, and my man had the yamakake udon without a. they were both excellent! we hope that during this short trip to hiroshima we can come back and try some of their other vegan dishes! update: we went back the next day and had the tantan udon with soy milk and some fried kartoffels. incredible! the suppe of udon was rich and creamy and so full of taste! the fried potato were crispy outside and soft inside. perfect comfort food! updated by the previous review on 2021-05-14

A hot bowl of udon after cycling around Hiroshima all morning really hit the spot! The staff substitutes a vegetable broth on request, making the dish vegan. They can also make vegan (egg-less) tempura on request. The English menu is available on their website, but not printed out in the restaurant. Upon speaking to the owner at the end of the meal, she suggested they may need to discontinue the vegan broth due to the decreased demand from the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they don’t, as it was absolutely delicious!

Very friendly staff, I showed them a picture of the tofu salad from this app and asked if they could make it. The waitress very kindly went to check and said she could. It was a very big portion. She explained after that due to Corona they’ve had to reduce their menu. So it was very sweet she made it. The Udon smelt amazing when it was brought out and it was very tasty!

The only place where we got udon in Japan during our trip. The restaurant had a very clean and minimalistic style, which I really liked. We tried some vegan dishes which were all very good! We also bought some wooden utensils as a souvenir.

They have a digital English menu and the owner spoke perfect English. When I asked for vegetarian menu she asked me what exactly I can’t eat and if I was vegan or just vegetarian. I had a lunch set which had tofu udon soup and vegetable tempura and a drink! Very delicious and only 1000¥
