As I continue on my vegan journey, I’ve been seeking cool vegan-friendly places around Kansai to enjoy a good meal. I found a good one about a 7-minute walk from Sannomiya Station in Kitano, Kobe: Farmstand!

In March 2018, Eat Local Kobe opened the Eat Local Kobe Farmstand. The combination cafe-supermarket offers a variety of fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, fish and baked goods. You can shop, enjoy coffee, tea, craft beer and lunch.

Open daily, the Farmstand expands on Eat Local Kobe’s goal of promoting “local production for local consumption.”

The set menu includes a main dish, miso soup, pickles and rice, while side options include meat or fish. Prices are reasonable at 900 yen on weekdays and 1000yen on weekends.The menu is decided each morning so it always has the taste of the season in Kobe.

Opening hours: Every day from 9:00 to 18:00
Address: 1-7-15 Yamamoto-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe
