Top 15 Japanese vegan restaurants in Tokyo

Mutsukari

Popular Japanese-style restaurant [Mutsukari] updated Kyoto food to match Tokyo. One of the courses is entirely composed of vegetables as part of the hospitality to amuse everyone. The restaurant can provide completely vegetarian or vegan meals if the ingredients are disclosed in advance. The head chef’s prior knowledge in Buddhist cuisine has made this course possible. The restaurant’s open kitchen, where patrons may admire the cooks’ skill, is one of its distinguishing features. Additionally, since there are no stairs or steps on the floor, there is less space between the chefs and the guests. Please sample the meals created with complete passion and care at [Mutsukari].

Shojin Ryori Daigo

[Shojin Ryori Daigo] is a ryotei that serves Buddhist cuisine and was founded in 1950. All of the private dining areas include horigotatsu (sunken kotatsu tables), and guests may take in the beautiful Japanese gardens while they eat. The utilization of seasonal ingredients in Buddhist food prepared in the kaiseki manner would undoubtedly satiate every sense.

Ise Sueyoshi

Visitors to [Ise Sueyoshi] can savor delicious Kaiseki cuisine cooked with top-quality ingredients supplied straight from Ise, Mie Prefecture. In addition to vegan meals, halal options are also available with advance notice. Every meal is delicious and prepared with passion. While the proprietor entertains you at the counter seat, savor authentic Japanese cuisine. Please be aware that reservations are necessary.

AIN SOPH. GINZA

 

[AIN SOPH. GINZA] is situated in Ginza, one of Japan’s most important areas. The entire menu is vegan, and the [bento box] is artistically put together with organic seasonal veggies. Additionally, a variety of desserts are offered, including [heavenly vegan pancakes] and [matcha soy cheesecake]. It is possible to use [AIN SOPH. GINZA] as a café. You can utilize the tatami room to have your meal in a setting that is typically Japanese.

T’s Tantan Tokyo Station

A ramen restaurant called [T’s TanTan] has grown into multiple branches. Customers typically select from five different varieties of ramen, but some branches also offer set menus that include [ma-po tofu] and [meat beef bowl]. As a result, guests who are vegetarians can fill their bellies with Japanese meals other than ramen. Vegan visitors should have no problems since no animal products, including meat, eggs, fish, and dairy products, are used.

Tateshina an

You can have vegan soba noodles at [Tateshina an]. Normally, bonito is used to make the dashi (broth) for soba noodles, but this establishment substitutes kelp and matsutake mushrooms. It is strongly advised to get a set menu that includes [soy rice ball], a rice ball with deep-fried soy beef karaage within.

BROOK’S ME-BYO café

The [BROOK’S ME-BYO café] is located in the heart of Tokyo’s Harajuku district. The fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine results in menus that are bursting with uniqueness. Examples include vegan handmade tofu burgers, gluten-free vegan and vegetarian bento, and pasta made with buckwheat (soba) flour. You can also order a variety of beverages and treats, like [vegetarian amazake (sweet rice drink)] and [chosen organic uji matcha latte]. Please savor the exclusive vegetarian dishes available only at [BROOK’S ME-BYO café].

Suigian

While dining at [Sugian], guests can take in the traditional Japanese performance known as “noh play.” Historical crockery from the Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods is used to serve delectable meals, sake, tea, and desserts. Request vegetarian options when booking a reservation, please. How about having a great time and experiencing traditional Japanese cuisine?

Nagi Shokudo Shibuya

[Nagi Shokudo Shibuya] is located about 5 minutes’ walk from Shibuya Station in the direction of the Sakuragaoka district, which is known for its stunning cherry blossom displays in the spring. This restaurant offers a wide selection of vegan cuisine from many cultures. [Vegetable meat karaage] is particularly well-liked and well-known, despite the fact that menus vary depending on the season.

SASAYA CAFÉ

The [Vegan & Organic SASAYA CAFÉ] is close to Tokyo Skytree, a well-known landmark in the city. Ingredients are employed with the motto “let’s enjoy vegetable” and artificial seasonings and processed seasonings, like white sugar, are avoided. Japanese ingredients are used to make an exquisite-looking and tasting Indian dish. While meals can be enjoyed at the roomy [Vegan & Organic SASAYA CAFÉ], customers can also order takeout and eat in the park in front of the establishment.

CITRON Aoyama

Aoyama neighborhood’s CITRON Aoyama is a DIY salad bar with French influences (near Harajuku and Shibuya). With more than 20 ingredients to choose from and a variety of dressings to top it off, the chic yet informal salad bar allows you to customize your own salad. With a choice of salad, quiche, or gratin and a monthly soup, set meals are also offered around lunchtime. You can order food to eat in or take out.

Olu Olu Café

This vegan restaurant has been one of the favourite restaurents among tourists for a long time. The inviting couple who own it believed that Hawaiian cuisine and culture have a pleasant, welcoming mood that will make guests feel good about their food and about veganism. They wanted to manage a vegan restaurant for all the right reasons. And it’s obvious that their strategy succeeded. It’s well worth the little train ride to get here if you’re looking for a distinctive (for Asia), affordable vegan dinner

Peace Café Hawaii

This brand-new deli, which relocated from Hawaii to Japan in late 2019, offers a wide selection of vegan salads, proteins, and other light dishes in addition to smoothies and ice cream. The lunch set, which costs roughly 1,000 and comes with a main meal, a side dish, and two salads that are all color-coded to make it easy to choose, is the greatest price. Options for the main dish include fried tempeh, soy beef, and other proteins. If you are staying near Shibuya Station rather than Tokyo Station, these take-out meals are a decent substitute for those from T’s Tantan or Ekiben (both located inside Tokyo Station — see below). In Shibuya, this is the most convenient location for a quick meal.

Hemp Café Tokyo

This bipolar restaurant offers nutritious raw cuisine during the day and transforms into a Hemp Cafe at night when the menu is altered to include hemp products and the costs go up. Additionally, it has a distinctive Hawaiian surf theme. Although the Google (and Happycow) locations are accurate, Rainbow Raw Food is more well-known than the Hemp Café, making it difficult to locate if you aren’t aware that they are the same site.

Universal Bakes and Café

In this vegan bakery, everything from baguettes and croissants to melonpan and flavorful herb focaccia is made without eggs, milk, butter, or honey. We advise trying the amazake roll, which has a center of naturally sweetened white bean paste combined with amazake, a sweet fermented rice beverage. In order to ensure that the bread is always fresh out of the oven, it is baked three times a day: in the morning, around noon, and in the afternoon.
