Vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants and dining options in Japan

Vegan ramen restaurant. Also serves salads and a few other main course options. Last order 10pm. Located inside Tokyo Station on the end of Keiyo Street, on the train side of the station, so you must be taking a train or you must buy a platform ticket. Find the food and shopping area known as Keiyo Street and you will be able to find the restaurant. T’s Tantan is located inside of Tokyo Station on Keiyo Street (yes, the station is so huge it actually has its own streets inside). Keiyo Street is near the South Yaesu Exit, so follow signs toward that exit until you see signage that says “Keiyo Street”. If you are at the far end of the station, you may have to follow signs toward the Central Yaesu Exit until signs for the South Yaesu Exit appear. As is the case for all Tokyo Station restaurants and shops, you need to enter the station with a JR Rail Pass, Suica Card, or an individual train/subway ticket. Once you find T’s Tantan, don’t worry if there’s a long line outside…turnover is quick. T’s Tan Tan offers several types of ramen, including “white” (sesame, bean sprouts, and thick green onion in a spicy broth: this one is my favorite, it really clears out your sinuses!), “green” (ramen piled high with fresh greens and includes some kabocha squash), “shoyu” (soy-sauce based broth), “red” (tomato base) and more. A bowl of ramen will set you back about 850 yen. They also have salads and curry rice, and can provide a “big helping” for a few hundred yen more. Everything is vegan, as the pictures and text on the walls proudly proclaim. One striking thing about the shop is that they seem to come from all walks of life, not just yoga-pants-wearing folks with dreadlocks or crunchy thrift store types (guilty). When I asked the manager about the clientele, he estimated that about half of them come to the restaurant specifically because they are vegetarian or otherwise healthfully-inclined. “There aren’t that many vegan restaurants in Japan, so people come from far away to eat here,” he says. But the rest are just people who just happen by during their commute, enticed by the good smells and sights coming out of the store. An English menu is available for those who want it, and the menu is illustrated so it’s easy to pick and point. The staff also speaks a little English (and some speak Taiwanese). Beer and soft drinks are available.

Café the 6BT in Tokyo offers only vegan food that uses no animal-sourced ingredients. We do not use artificial flavorings or refined white sugar, and our concept is to make you healthy and beautiful from the inside of your body with the food that draws out palatability of vegetables and natural ingredients fully. About Ramen Using special preparation, we made our original wheat flour noodle of café the 6BT to have the same texture and flavor of regular wheat flour noodle. About Soup For the base of the soup, we use konbu (kelp) of Hokkaido’s Rausu, shiitake mushrooms cultivated on the bed wood from Shizuoka and enokidake (velvet shank) grown in the source water in Shinshu, adding several vegetables of our choice to slowly boil it to create the same flavorful and deep taste of the soup made of animal foodstuffs.

To create an organic restaurant in Tokyo, we also decided to operate a green grocery, specializing in natural foods. This decision was taken in order to meet the European standard under which restaurants, to be called “organic,” must use ingredients that are 95% or more organic. The founding concept was to answer the needs of people who wish to eat plenty of seasonal organic produce. Please enjoy our organic menu to your heart’s content. Hiroba can be found downstairs of the bookshop CrayonHouse. The staff is knowledgeable on what is vegan, and several of the buffet options are suitable.

Veg Out is one of the few cafes or restaurants in Kyoto where vegans and vegetarians can enjoy a healthy meal in line with their lifestyle. This slow, airy vegetarian cafe on the banks of the Kamogawa River was born with the aim of providing our customers with a space in which you can experience simple pleasures in mind, body, and spirit. We have also had a bit of fun with the naming of Veg Out: the combination of an abundance of local, organic vegetables deliciously prepared which you can enjoy to your heart’s desire, and “veg out” style relaxation—losing yourself in the sound of the river, the play of clouds and the open sky, and the majestic views of the Higashiyama mountains of eastern Kyoto. In the midst of the plethora of diet information and food choices in modern society, Veg Out also seeks to provide newcomers with an introduction to the simple beauty and happiness associated with the vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. In other words, everyone who enjoys fresh, delicious food is welcome! For those of us living in the modern world, it is easy to forget our connection to the soil and to the green earth, and the unchanging truth that we as humans are an intricate part of Nature, and we all are part of the great Wheel of Existence. One of the basic tenets of Buddhism is the concept that everything has Buddha-nature: everything is connected. Therefore we humans, for our long-term health and well-being, must put ourselves in accord with the natural environment, and put into our bodies foods closest to their natural state. Consequently, we have made exclusive contracts with local farmers who share our philosophy and have put great care into the cultivation of the plants and grains they supply to us. We also invite the ‘vegetable connoisseurs’ among you to try some of the local heirloom vegetables (called “Kyo-yasai”, with a thousand-year history) that we have on our menu. From all the staff of Veg Out to all of our valued customers, we express our “kansha”, or gratitude, for you with each and every dish we prepare with all our heart. 京都、鴨川のほとりに、Veg Outな空間を。 植物のようにゆったりと過ごせる空間と、心や身体が純粋に喜ぶものを提供したい。 そんな願いから「Veg Out-vegan cafe(ベグアウト ビーガンカフェ)」が生まれました。 情報社会に暮らす今、世の中には様々な情報や選択肢に溢れています。 健康や食事に関しても同じことが挙げられますが、そのうちの1つとして、 「Veg Out」は、”Vegan” と言う食事法を美味しく幸せにお伝えできる場でありたいと願っています。 今の私達にとって、土や緑の香りを感じながらの暮らしが少し遠のいて来たようにも感じられますが、 決して忘れてはならない事、変わらない事は、人間は自然の一部である事です。 Veg Outが伝えたい事、大切にしたい思いは、私達は自然界の循環の中で存在していると言うことです。 私たち人間が、末永く健康である為には、動物や植物の生存環境(水・大気・土)を整える必要があります。 自然にとって不自然なもの(化学肥料や農薬)を加えずに、 自然な姿のままを頂く、純粋な食物連鎖を目指すことが必要ではないでしょうか? 自然との繋がりや結びつきを大切にし、地球上にある全てのエネルギー、水や大気や大地、 そして、農家の人々の手によって愛情いっぱいに育てられた野菜や穀物。 全てが有機的な存在で繋がっていること。 そこに感謝の気持ちを持ち、私達から皆様へ、一品一品を心をこめて 丁寧にご提供させていただきたいと考えています。 まだ馴染みの少ない言葉かもしれませんが、Veganと言う言葉は「食べ物」だけではなく、 ライフスタイルそのものだと考えています。 毎日毎食ではなくても、週に1度や月に数回、 植物性だけでつくられたのものを食べる機会や経験の提案ができればと思っています。
