Hidden vegan spot in Nagano. The vegan vegetable curry was on spot and very cozy in cold windy day. The soy soft serve wasn’t too sweet, it was just right with a hint of vanilla-soy milk flavors! Definitely be back here to try another flavor of soft serve (they offer soy, almond and coconut:)

Great cafe with good food and good service. I was surprised to see tacos on the menu and decided to try them. Except for the fact that the tortilla wasn’t quite warm enough, everything tasted just like the genuine article. Any time I visit Matsumoto I know where I’m going to stop for lunch or dinner. The curry and ice cream were also great, but as a foreigner in Japan it’s the tacos that drew my attention.
