Cafe Guri - Kamakura

The vegan set here is a good opportunity to try Buddhist style Japanese food for a decent price. the personal was friendly and they can also look at some of the local arts. delicious and healthy!

Have few options for vegetarians but options are tummy filling and doesn't disappoint the taste buds too. Vegetarians are handled with extra care. Why ll it be bad for you to get treated well when you are unique veggie

English below 鎌倉駅から歩いて5分程の所にある『カフェ具利』に行ってきました。 広々とした明るい店内で、とても良い雰囲気でした。 この店の精進料理『刻御前』を頂きました。 料理が来る前に、この店のウリのひとつでもある“鎌倉彫り”のパンフレットを頂きました。それから間も無く料理が並べられました。 この店の料理はお盆から小鉢まで全て鎌倉彫りの器に入って出てきます。手触りがとても良く、目の保養にもなります。 また、物販コーナーで鎌倉彫りの器を買うことも出来ます。高価なので、お財布と相談してご検討下さい 笑 料理の方も、器に負けず劣らずの見た目にも綺麗な美味しい料理ばかりでした。価格も1500円と手頃なのでおススメです。 食後のお茶もまた美味しく、湯のみの美しさに暫く見とれてしまいました。 絶対お勧めです！是非一度お試しください！ We’ve found that shoujin ryouri traditional Buddhist vegan cuisine is a hit with visitors to Japan. Even the most hardcore meat eaters seem to truly enjoy this uniquely Japanese cuisine. So when three of our friends came from the US to visit, we opened up Happy Cow to look for a place to take them to lunch, and found Cafe Guri. This restaurant is located about five minutes from Kamakura station and is on the way to a major tourist attraction, the Tsurugaoka Hachinangu shrine. Cafe Guri can be found inside the Kamakurabori Museum, a small museum dedicated to showcasing Kamakura-style lacquerware. All of the dishes used in the cafe are Kamakurabori, which is also sold in a small shop inside the cafe. The cafe is wide and airy with a nice, modern atmosphere. Now, on to the food! We got the vegan Toki Gozen set for 1500 yen. This meal was as delicious as it was beautiful. The tofu was quite possibly the best I’ve ever had in my life. Even my three decidedly non-vegan friends seemed to truly enjoy it. Afterwards one of them said, “I ate all that food and I don’t feel heavy or anything!” Yeessssss. The service was very nice, with English spoken, and they even brought out green tea for us at the end. I recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly, to both residents and visitors of Japan.

Good cold vegan ramen, beautiful and not too expensive !

Tried the cold noodle bowl, and worth it! Flavorful and beautiful atmosphere.
