Hands down one of the best meals of my life. Everything was as fresh and beautiful as can be. In absolute awe how some veggies taste worlds different from the supermarket when they’re fresh. I wish my stomach was bigger for the buffet! No exaggeration, Michelin star quality.

Stopped by for late lunch with my family recently and the food was really fresh and tasty. Buffet had a good amount of variety. Loved the country feel and location of the place, service was friendly as you would expect. Only let down I would say was the long wait. It was a Monday and not even busy (judging by the size of car parks in the town, there are times where it gets really busy). We still waited about 45 min for a seat inside. Other than that - highly recommended place if you love vegetarian food.

This restaurant was the biggest reason i went to Ohara again. I really loves the nature and the view of Ohara(it’s just amazing, more than Kyoto’s view). But i really wanted to try Kirin’s meal again that my mother loved so much.
This restaurant offers very, very healthy food with all-you-can-eat style. And these are all vegetables, but I seriously don’t know how vegetables can be delicious that much!! It’s so mysterious.
You can choose what you will eat with that vegetables between 4 kinds of onigiri and daily menu(for me, it was a chicken curry). And i choose chicken curry and it was so delicious too. I think the cook must be just a genius.
Also, there’s a river right beside the cafe, so you can enjoy nature too while you have a lunch. I recommend you to go to Ohara and Kirin for the beautiful experience of nature.
