Fluunt: Kofu City (Vegan)

Fluunt is an all-vegan restaurant, conveniently located in Kofu City, the capital of Yamanashi.

A 15-minute walk from Kofu Station, nestled among the many stores of Sakura Street, lies a vegan restaurant that goes by the name Fluunt KOFU. Their plant-based vegan dishes are vibrant in color, and mouthwatering in taste.

The concept of this restaurant is to excite guests with their dishes. And indeed, their food will excite both your taste buds and your eyes.

When the restaurant first opened in 2016, vegan options were not yet widespread in the area, causing them to struggle to gain a customer base. However, today the restaurant has garnered the attention of many health-conscious locals, as well as tourists from abroad 

Their raw ingredients range from traditional veggies to rarer “super foods.” Fluunt is very conscious about keeping their food colorful, having a good balance of sweet and bitter flavors, and the texture of every last bite. The food being plant-based allows it to be enjoyed by all five senses.

The most popular dish is the “Fluunt bowl.”

Topped with a collection of vibrant vegetables, what sets this dish apart from the others is the wide variety of vegetables used. The vegetables are seasonal and grown locally, with the rice in particular being naturally cultivated in Hokuto City just up north.

You can’t forget Fluunt’s veggie burger, with such unwavering popularity.

Using their in-house crafted soybean-based soy meat, Fluunt has crafted a filling and volume-packed veggie burger. This burger won’t leave your body feeling heavy and overwhelmed. There are many other burgers to choose from as well, with the fluunt burger and its original tomato sauce being the most popular. Another favorite is the cheeseburger that uses “sake kasu” to make the cheese, named the “sake kasu burger.” There is also the “veggie demi-glace burger” which brings out the sweetness of the onions used.

Also, for Muslim guests, there are many non-alcohol items. Just be sure to ask for non-alcohol when you place your order. Furthermore, Fluunt has multilingual staff on site so for non-Japanese speaking guests this is an added plus!
