Anzu — Restaurant in Nagoya

A Hidden Gem for Vegetarians in Nagoya!

As a vegetarian traveller, I was thrilled to discover Anzu in Nagoya, Japan. This restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way, and I was fortunate enough to visit twice during my stay.

The service at Anzu was top-notch, thanks to Hiro's warm and welcoming hospitality.The food at Anzu was outstanding, and I was impressed by the variety of options available for vegetarians.

On my first visit, I had the set vegan lunch, and was so impressed that I returned for dinner the following evening and ordered the vegetarian Mapo. The dish was spicy and savory, with a perfect balance of flavors.

The clean plates on both visits speak to the quality and deliciousness of the food! I'm already looking forward to returning next year and exploring more of the menu.

The owner was a bit quiet at first, but once we started talking, he turned out to be super friendly. He proudly showed us his culinary accreditations from China, and you can really tell he’s passionate about his food. Would...
