Book and Vege OyOy

Books and Vege OyOy is a collaboration between Saka no Tochu, which provides seasonal vegetables grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and Oraido, the team behind Kamome Books in Kagurazaka, Tokyo.

We cherish each vegetable’s unique character, embracing how they reflect the changing seasons throughout the year. Here, you can enjoy seasonal vegetables through both dining and shopping.

In our café space, we serve a Seasonal Vegetable Plate from Friday to Monday (Monday offers lunch only). Our ingredients come from sustainable farms, and all dishes are crafted with plant-based ingredients, ensuring that everyone—including vegetarians and vegans—can enjoy them together. Desserts such as soybean pudding and carrot cake are handmade in-house, while our cordials are carefully prepared using seasonal fruits from Saka no Tochu.

Our coffee comes from Umi no Muko Coffee, which partners with farmers across Asia as co-producers—working together to enhance coffee quality, support sustainable farming, and tackle challenges like deforestation and rural employment.Beyond the cup, we invite you to reflect on the landscapes where these beans are grown—the rich nature, the communities that nurture them, and their future. Each sip carries the stories of the farmers who cultivate them with care, bridging the distance from their hands to yours.

Alongside the café, half of our store is lined with carefully curated bookshelves by the Oraido staff. Our collection includes books and picture books on food, agriculture, and daily life—simply browsing them is a delightful experience. We also offer a selection of seasonal vegetables and artisanal seasonings so you can bring a taste of OyOy home.

If you’re visiting Kyoto, we warmly welcome you to stop by and explore the flavours and stories we share.
