REVIEW Eart Shokudo in Kyoto

Earth Shokudo is a small restaurant located close to Hyakumanben in the
Kyoto University and Ginkakuji area. Go uphill to the east from the
Hyakumanben intersection and you will find the shop on your left. It is
a 100% vegan shop serving real Indian curry, Japanese style lunch/dinner
menu (teishoku) changing every day, noodles made of mate tea etc. The
owner is a friendly lady speaking English. The atmosphere of the
restaurant is relaxing and prices inexpensive compared to the quantity
and good taste of the meals. The building was a bookshop in the past,
also called "Earth". Even now, you'll find shelves well-stocked with
books. Earth Shokudo is open every day except Sundays, 11:30-15:00 and
18:00-22:00.

I didn't check it myself yet but i heard the following veggie restaurants closed their doors :

- Cafe 8. For all you vegs in the neighborhood, don't ya weep, just at the other side of the street is the veg restaurant Alaska, which is a very cool and hip place with exciting food.
- Der Akkord. Due to the timely and tragic death of the owner, this Legendary Bakery closed. R.I.P
- J's Kitchen.
- Miki Tenkai. Who hasn't picked up a take out veg lunchbox at Daykan Yama station in Tokyo from mr Miki Tenkai ? Well, rumors has, this buddhist monk killed somebody (very un-cool) and is now serving time in jail !
-Vege Canteen. Such A Shame ! We Miss You !
-Hono Cafe.
