Chamama Vege Cafe - Aomori

According to my local friends, this restaurant has been here for a long time. She described it as the backbone of vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Aomori. To be sure, there are not many vegan friendly restaurants in Aomori city. This is one of the few, the real vegan lunch options and a comfortable environment. It is a little far from the train station so you can rent a taxi or a bicycle if you don't drive. You have a lot of parking. The food is very good. It's too much food for me, but I can't eat a lot. I always give my leftovers to my husband and he eats them up. Whenever I left, we had no dessert. It seems that Dessert is always/usual only vegetarian (containing milk or eggs) so I never ordered it. I always ask the staff which items are vegan on the menu, because it is not quite clear, only by searching. They also sell some vegan friendly spices, snacks, etc. I wish they would make everything vegan, it would make things so much easier, but since there are so few options elsewhere, I am simply grateful to have found a place to eat.

I was wondering if we could get alliums-free meal here, and it turned out this place is entirely allium-free (a rare breed in Japan)! The best part is the food here is super delicious. We ate there both days in Aomori. The dessert are not vegan, but main course are fine. It’s quite a distance from the train station, but if you’re driving there’s ample parking available. Lovely staff too!

I've eaten here many times and have loved everything. Finding vegan food in Aomori is very difficult, making this a treasured place.

We drove 1.5 hours to try the food and it was worth it. The staff was very kind and helpful even though they were not well versed in english. The cafe had a neat set up. There's more room inside than you would think. So happy we made the time to try this place out. We will definitely go again.
