Curry Udon!!

There are so many good japanese restaurants in San Francisco, but as far as i know, Chaya is the only japanese restaurant where all the menu items are vegan.
I am not a vegetarian, but this is a great place when you are in the mood for healthy food and kansai-style light flavored japanese food.

My favorite is their Curry Udon, udon noodles that come in curry flavored soup with
a lot of veggies. They use the soup made out of vegetables and dried shitake, instead of bonitos and they use the vegan curry powder. Their soup is so good I almost can't believe it's vegan! It's the perfect food for chilly rainy days and it's also very healthy!

サンフランシスコにはおいしい日本食レストランが多くありますが、Chayaは唯一の動物性食品を一切使っていない日本食レストランです。私はベジタリアンではないのですが、ヘルシーな物を食べたいときや関西風の薄味が恋しくなった時にはここに食べにいきます。
ここでおすすめなのは野菜たっぷりのカレーうどん。だしは鰹出汁ではなくて野菜やしいたけの出汁を使っています。出汁がとてもおいしく、ベジタリアンとはとても思えません。寒い雨の日に行きたくなるレストランです。
