Miyakoyasai Kamo (都野菜 賀茂) is a restaurant located in Karasuma, Kyoto, that focuses its menu on fresh vegetables sourced locally in Kyoto. Depending on your appetite, the good or bad thing is that it is a you-can-eat-style restaurant.
Important:
→ Please note Miyakoyasai Kamo has removed the Vegan Temari Sushi from its menu.
→ Except for salad dishes, most dishes served in the restaurant now contain seafood/meat (extract). As they change their buffet menus daily, there might be a couple of dishes that are vegetarian/vegan on the day.
