Paprika Shokudo is a busy vegan cafe with a focus on organic ingredients. The ambiance is cozy with wooden accents, and if weather allows, choose one of the outdoor terrace seats facing a quiet local street.
Although the menu is a bit on the expensive side, the quality of the food justifies the price. Try the popular vegan oyster which is made with tofu and mushrooms, or the soy meat karaage that has an excellent texture. For dinner, they offer set meals that include a main dish (like the oyster or karaage) with salad, miso soup, and rice, ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 yen. I tried the karaage plate which has a generous amount of karaage pieces with great texture.
Other than the vegan plates, they also serve rice bowls, pasta, and pizza. Leave room for dessert, as they offer vegan cheesecake, brownies, and ice cream.
