Koya, Wakayama, Japan｜高野山 café雫

A beautiful little cafe in Koya where we found a gluten free dish for our celiac son! He had the dessert plate and the staff were super friendly and helpful checking the list of ingredients. We also ordered the other two dishes, a rice soup and a curry, and they were absolutely delicious and wonderfully presented. The food was all made with such care and so pretty to look at. So glad we walked in here! It’s hard to find gluten free food in Koyasan, we were turned away from a couple of restaurants when we tried to enquire about allergies. 10/10 recommended!!

Delicious vegan curry set at a beautiful café! We came here as the vegan/vegetarian places we wanted to visit were closed, but what a lucky find! I enjoyed both the curry (which contained bits of soy "meat") and the goma tofu which was dipped on a sweet syrup. Now I usually do *not* enjoy sweet stuff but this was really nice. It's also possible to buy the packaged curry sauce and tofu separately at the café (as well as other shops at Koyasan town) which I did. At ¥1180 this set meal is cheaper than 2 other eateries I passed by offering vegetable curry rice. Try the mikan juice too - it's sweet ish with bitter under notes.

We had a late meal here in the afternoon, and everything we ordered was delicious.
