Genmai Shinshoku Aisunao - Naoshima

Was only one menu option when we visited (think they have reduced business due to COVID). It was nice, though I found the tofu too slimey. Actually open, unlike most vegan places on the island ATM, which was a huuuge plus and the only hot meal I got when I was there. No complaints.

Arrived in the evening once lunch had stopped being served but the staff saved us a lunch set and put it in the fridge at the guesthouse so we could warm it up in the microwave. For breakfast, onigiri and some other small dishes were left out in the kitchen for us. Simple but tasty, and convenient considering the lack of options in the island (when practically everything else was closed). The staff member we spoke to on the phone was really nice but the person who showed us around was oddly cold for some reason.

Wonderful, healthy, fresh food! Perfect midday lunch in honmura before hitting the other side of the island

We came here while visiting Naoshima because of the great reviews it already has and we really enjoyed the rice set menu, particularly all the different veg, the mushroom tofu, and the soup. It cost 1000/1100 for more rice when we visited in December 2019. The little sweet tofu part was amazing!

If you happen to be visiting Naoshima your limited in your options as a vegan but this place is a must visit. Located among the Art Houses of the Honmura district of Naoshima island. Their lunch is fully vegan and is to die for. Easily the best rice and tofu I have had so far visiting Japan. The setting is traditional Japanese in a beautiful building which is a plus.
