At just JP¥1,530, every bite reflects Cafe PRANA's commitment to freshness and health, using seasonal ingredients that are lovingly prepared in-house. The standout for many guests has been the fermented lemon lemonade—a refreshing blend that dances between tart and sweet, reminiscent of tonic but with a unique twist that excites the palate.
Indeed, diners rave about their experience. Piotr Oleś praised the deliciousness of the Japanese set and the attentiveness of the staff, while チャン shared how even a non-rice enthusiast couldn’t resist the cafe's perfectly cooked rice. It’s not just about the food, but the heartfelt service that makes it memorable. One customer remarked how the friendly staff went out of their way to showcase original ingredients, ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued, regardless of language barriers.
However, do note that the cafe operates on a cash-only basis and some customers have hinted at the portion sizes, suggesting that while the food is remarkable, those with hearty appetites may desire just a bit more. Nonetheless, the high-quality, beautifully presented dishes will undoubtedly leave you satisfied and eager for a return visit.
Cafe PRANA blends nutrition with Japanese culinary artistry in a cozy setting, making it a must-visit for health-conscious diners and anyone who appreciates vegetarian cuisine. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing lunch or a peaceful afternoon retreat with a book, this cafe will meet your needs and exceed your expectations.
Make your way to Cafe PRANA, where every meal is a celebration of health, flavor, and hospitality!
