I obtained information that the restaurant has closed, although it is unconfirmed. I couldn't access their website. After running in Uji, I explored the city of Kyoto. I already bought a one-day bus ticket for today, so I decided to use the bus as much as possible and got off at Saga-Arashiyama Station in Kyoto. When I went to the south exit of the station, I saw a sign with "vegan" and "organic" written on it. I found the cafe I was looking for, Prunus, on the 3rd floor. I had pre-checked this place in the Veg Cafe Guide. This time, I ordered the veggie dumpling plate. While waiting, I worked on my schedule as usual. The dumplings arrived, along with miso soup and salad. I noticed there was no rice, but I didn't mind since I had eaten a bit at the marathon venue. The miso soup was light and tasted good after running. The salad had a nice crunchy texture. As for the main dish, the veggie dumplings were mainly made of cooked soy meat with some chives and vegetables. They were delicious even without dipping sauce. After taking the bus, I also visited Kyoto Higashiyama, near Kiyomizu Temple, where they were selling unique cat patches. Thank you for the meal (the photo is a souvenir of mushroom socks for a friend). Below is the restaurant's information: Prunus Tel: ?? Business Hours: ?? Address: 9-4 Sagatenryuji Shadocho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, 3F

The restaurant is located right next to Saga Arashiyama Station, along a main street, making it easy to find. However, the word "organic" stands out more than the restaurant's name, which made me hesitate if this was the right place. When I called to confirm if they were open, the response was a bit cold, so I was worried. But the staff seemed really busy and provided good service when I dined in. I noticed that besides me, there were only foreign customers, and there were only a couple of seats available, so it may be a well-known place for tourists. The staff spoke fluent English and were cool. I went on a weekday around 1 pm, and it took about 25 minutes for my order to arrive, as a large family had just placed their order. The staff kept apologizing, so I didn't mind. If you're in a hurry, like catching a train, it's best to check how long it will take in advance. Now, onto the food. They offer sets like gyoza (not with meat), soy meat karaage set, gyoza + soy meat karaage set, pizza, and vegetable curry with rice. Macrobiotic dishes require a reservation the day before, which I unfortunately couldn't try. I had the soy meat karaage and gyoza set with rice. The gyoza was surprisingly delicious, I even wondered if there was really no meat in it. It had cabbage inside and was served with organic soy sauce and vinegar. The soy meat karaage was a bit salty, making me crave for white rice. It was juicy, crispy, and generous in portion. The salad was made of Chinese cabbage, bell peppers, and mizuna, quite sour with a refreshing yuzu dressing. The rice with carrots, shiitake, and fried tofu was soft and lightly seasoned. The miso soup with enoki mushrooms, daikon, Chinese cabbage, and wakame was light and tasty. Overall, everything was delicious, made with carefully selected ingredients and considering the body's well-being. Despite being fried food, it didn't feel heavy on the stomach. I plan to make a reservation and visit again. The total cost this time was exactly 2000 yen.

Located right next to JR Saga Arashiyama Station, the vegan restaurant "Pranas" is a great choice. They offer delicious and healthy vegan dishes that are visually appealing and made with soy-based alternatives. The portions are decent, and the food leaves a refreshing aftertaste. The restaurant also sells natural food products. Unfortunately, starting from 2015, they have suspended regular restaurant operations and now only offer cooking classes.
