Looking for vegan food in Japan? 🍘🍡🍱 I got you! I am not a strict vegan and also eat vegetarian, but I wildly prefer vegan. If you are 100% vegan, it's going to be very difficult in Japan and you will need to do lots of planning beforehand. That being said, there are quite a few dishes that I call my go to in Japan: YAKIONIGIRI (焼きおにぎり) a grilled rice ball with miso paste. You can often find these in traditional villages and festivals / food stalls CHOCO BANANA (チョコバナナ) can be vegan, make sure dark chocolate is being used 🍫 IMO KOROKKE (芋コロッケ) Deep fried sweet potato croquette 🥮 The oil being used might be used for other kinds of korokke containing meat or fish. GREEN BURGER (グリーンバーガー) from Mos Burger. You can also request most other burgers to swap the meat with the soy patty! 🍔 SHOYU RAMEN (醤油ラーメン) can be vegan, but also could contain dashi. You can find vegan ramen at T's tantan and Kyushu Jangara (several stores across Japan) YUBA (湯葉) tofu skin is a specialty from Nikko and is often served as part of a kaiseki or breakfast at a ryokan. There are also Yuba soba and other variations around 🍜 YAKI IMO (焼き芋) steamed sweet potato is my go to snack that you can find pretty much anywhere around Japan 🍠 YASAI TEMPURA (野菜天ぷら) fried tempura vegetables are often a part of soba sets. I had success asking them to leave out the meat or seafood and make just the vegetables instead if it wasn't explicitly on the menu 🤓 KUSHIKATSU (串カツ) deep fried skewered vegetables. They usually have a big variety! Ask about if they use separate sections to fry the vegetables, they don't always do 🫣 STRAWBERRY DAIFUKU (いちご大福) the most filling sweet you'll ever find 🍓🍡 AGEDASHI TOFU (揚げ出し豆腐) traditionally served with a dashi sauce, this one can be vegan if swapped for a different sauce. YAKIDANGO (焼き団子) rice dumplings on a skewer - sometimes sweet, sometimes savory! Incredibly filling, make sure to chew well 🫣🍡 Have you tried any of these before? ☺️ Follow me for more Japan travel tips! #japantravel #veganjapan #veganjapanesefood

I actually enjoyed this place much more than I had anticipated. According to the restaurant, everything is vegan, however, I'm not sure if the noodles are gluten free. I ordered the tonkotsu and I was surprised by how yummy it tasted. The broth was creamy with the correct amount of saltiness. The ramen also has a nice amount of sesame seeds which makes the flavor bolder. I want to say there might have been some peanut sauce in my ramen but i could've mistaken the smell from someone else's ramen. The restaurant is super clean and has a nice chic vibe to it. The staff members also speak English and they can provide English menu if you request it. Since this restaurant is located in Tokyo it is no surprise that a lot of the patrons are foreigners. It was kind of cool to hear people speaking and enjoying their food without having to worry about disturbing others - this makes the restaurant feel very comforting. If u are in Tokyo station looking for something vegan then I suggest you check out this location. You won't be disappointed. I took away 1 star because the portions are small and the sides (gyozas) were very bland and weren't crunchy. T's TanTan is located on the left side of the Ecute Keiyo street, besides these deep escalators that take u to the line to Tokyo Disney. So if you are coming from Tokyo Disney then once u go up the long escalator the restaurant will be to your left.

Fantastic place for ramen particularly for vegans and vegetarians as you can be sure they use no animal products. The ramen itself is delicious, myself and other people I went with tried the white sesame ramen, golden sesame ramen, and black sesame ramen, which were all quite flavourful. The broth wasn't just salty there were more flavours and the soy/peanut dressing they put on top really adds a great depth to the broth once it's mixed in. The noodles were thin, made without egg, and cooked perfectly. There was a good assortment of vegetables served with each ramen. The vegan gyoza (incredibly hard to find in Tokyo) were delicious and especially so when dipped in ramen broth. The service was excellent, having been there twice now I can say this for sure. Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and knows rudimentary English, plus the menu is in English. They even have their own pot noodles which you can buy and take away, plus other things such as dry soy meat or vegetable broth powder. Highly recommended this restaurant to anyone passing through Tokyo station. Even if you aren't get a platform ticket for 140 yen and go anyway, it's worth it! They definitely need to open more branches outside of Tokyo and Ueno stations as for both you need a platform or JR ticket to access them. Metro passes won't get you into the main station unfortunately.

For all your vegan needs, hit any T's Tantan. Inside Tokyo station and kinda hidden, you'll find one the many chain store for this vegan ramen. If you want to eat something delicious but not too heavy calories wise then this place is definitely for you, vegan le not. Although if you think there might be some meat option, it's definitely not the right place. We came with 6 people and unfortunately at the time there was no table big enough to welcome our whole group and it wasn't possible to get a table closer because of their COVID restrictions. Too bad. The menu is quite simple but has enough options to satisfy anybody. Everything is clearly written and you also have information about the calories of each meals so it's definitely a plus for people looking to take care of their overall health. Here I took the seasonal citrus like ramen which is served chilled and with a refreshing broth, a perfect fit for summer. It came in a set with a small bowl of rice and a pudding made with silken tofu and sirup for the taste. Everything was very light and the portion weren't too big so it was perfect for dinner, but you might want to order more if you have a bigger appetite. Overall a nice experience, the only bad point is the location as you need to already be inside the train station to go eat there so maybe try this place when commuting.

This place is excellent for vegan and vegetarian foodies! I agree with the other reviews that it’s not the easiest eatery to find—I walked around for about 10 minutes with Google Maps to get close and then asked for a bit of help before I finally found it. When you see the Gransta store with all their little shops, it’s just a bit further ahead on the right. You’ll see signage. You do need to purchase a ticket to enter the station (¥150 = $1 USD), but it’s worth it (even with it, I spent under $20 USD). Don’t lose this single ticket 🎟️ as you will need it to exit the station too (I learned this the hard way during my time in Tokyo). Now onto the food: I ordered the combo golden sesame tantan and the vegetable gyoza. Both were great! The golden tantan has peanut butter so note for those who have peanut allergies (they will ask about allergies when you order and you can omit it). I ate every bite (you kinda have to since they don’t offer takeaway boxes so order accordingly lol). I also requested hot oil and pepper flakes to spice it up. I wish it were easier to find, but it’s one of the few fully veg restaurants I’ve been able to find in the city that doesn’t require a reservation and features more authentic Japanese cuisine. Worth a visit for lunch 🍜 before you head off on your adventures from Tokyo Station! 🚄
