mumokuteki cafe KYOTO: Plant-Based Set Meals and Sweets Near Kawaramachi, English Menu
mumokuteki cafe KYOTO is a cafe on the second floor of the Human Forum Building in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto. Its official site says it uses absolutely no animal-derived ingredients, and that it does not use eggs, dairy products, refined sugar, meat, fish or chemical seasonings.
The menu centers on set meals (gozen). The official site lists a Tofu Hamburger Set, an Okaraage Set (fried okara) and a miso cutlet set (1,800 yen each), a steamed seasonal vegetable set (2,500 yen) and a sesame miso soy milk ramen set (2,000 yen), along with a Creamy Yuba Omurice (1,700 yen), tiramisu (950 yen) and soy milk soft serve (650 yen). Some dishes are gluten-free, but the official site notes that the kitchen is not dedicated to gluten-free cooking, so cross-contact with wheat is possible.

It is open from 11:30 AM to 8:00 PM (last order 7:00 PM) and closed on Wednesdays. There are English and Chinese menus, and you can pay by credit card, transit IC card, PayPay and more.
