TSUMINAKI Mapo Tofu — Restaurant in Tokyo

FINALLY I found 100% vegan mapo tofu in Japan! And it delivered 👍 It’s a new restaurant, so the owner is always there and is a cool guy to chat with. The serving size is good (though maybe not if you’re a big eater and show up super hungry) but you can get a huge serving of rice (just specify that you want large or extra large rice, it’s free of cost). Environment is very nice and the bathroom was super clean too. Will definitely come back whenever I’m in the area, it’s worth a detour just to eat here once in Tokyo!

UPDATE: I went back and this time got the Deluxe Set (which has 4 different types of mapo tofu), and it was totally worth the money again — highly recommend it! The prices are good enough that you want to keep going back...

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and great service!

The room was small, but very cozy as everyone sits around the cooks in a big U and sees them cooking while they occasionally chat with their guests whenever the guests ask questions. The team by the way was really nice, they also own the restaurant, learned some German from us and introduced us to some Japanese - with that we can only recommend this wonderful restaurant to every vegan and non-vegan from Japan and abroad and say "arigatou gozaimasu" to...

Tsuminaki is absolutely a hidden gem in Tokyo. The food is so amazing that you absolutely dont need to be a vegan to appreciate and experience it. I had the red chili mapo tofu with noodles, extra hot. It was a nice level of spice if you are used to eating very spicy food. The flavors were rich, noodles cooked to perfection.

We also had fried edamame for starters, and they were the best edamame ive ever had, despite just having salt and oil, they were just handled professionally and given due respect. If you are reading this, just stop reading and go it.

P.s. if you expect "american" portions, just order two - they are fairly...
