Cafe Uemura - Takayama

Definitiw 5 stars. best meal we had in japan. seasonal menu. he had a vegan option Japanese curry, but it was really blown. the owner is beautiful and dedicated to his craft. he is pleased to chat about the specialties of cultivation in his farm and cook Japanese house style. the quality of the food was exceptional and in a very intimate environment (small bar with space for about 5 people.) also, get the flight they do not regret! just go!

Seriously fantastic fully organic place, the owner is so welcoming. He owns a farm in takayama all produce is sourced (as much as seasonally possible) from his own farm. Only seats 5 guests at a time be prepared to have a chat with fellow diners and the lovely owner. Must visit in takayama

Not only the food but also the owner, we really appreciated his passion and his warmth, he cares about his guests and about life on earth! Even though we found only one vegan option it was absolutely one of the best thing we have ever eaten. Definitely 5 stars!

Indeed a small and cozy place, with about 5 seats and near the station. They had two vegetarian options, the vegetarian plate or curry. The curry I chose was flavourful, but I expected more vegetables, as on their own posted pictures. Because of allergies, I would have appreciated more specific information about the used ingredients when asked. In contrast to other reviews, the vibe was rushed, we didn’t see the owner/cook much untill we suddenly had to pay after our last bite. Price-quality ratio could be better. We consumed 1 curry, 1 burger, 1 kettle with two teacups which amounted to about ¥4400. We really looked forward to eating here but unfortunately left somewhat dissapointed. Hopefully others will have a better experience because of our feedback :

The owner actually produces all the veggies himself and cooks as well. If you are travelling to takayama, you should definitely try thier vegetarian curry. Superb banana bread too.. you will be happy not with only with the warm food but also by hosts' warmth.. Highly recommend for people from indian sub continent who have been missing spicy food in Japan..
