Vegetarian Food in Tokyo

Tokyo has an incredible vegan food scene if you know where to look! I found everything from vegan ramen and sushi to plant-based Japanese comfort food and some seriously good desserts. These are some of my favorite vegan and vegetarian-friendly finds from my time in Tokyo.

Where I Ate

  • Vegan

    Vegan 8ablish

    One of my favorite finds, especially for dessert. I’m still thinking about the vegan cheesecake—it was one of the best vegan cheesecakes I’ve ever had! Great spot to add to your itinerary when exploring the Azabudai/Toranomon area.

    Vegan Sushi Tokyo / VEGAN SUSHI JAPAN

    I loved the creativity here! The vegan sushi was so unique, and the matcha donut was another favorite. A fun way to experience Japanese-style sushi completely plant-based.

    Vegetarian/Vegan-Friendly

    TSUMUGI NAMPO Tofu

    Such a cozy atmosphere with delicious tofu-focused Japanese food. Add this if you want something comforting and a little different from the typical vegan restaurant.

  • Vegan

    Vegan Ramen at teamLab Planets / Emptiness Table

    One of my favorite ramen experiences in Japan! Located inside teamLab Planets, so you need a teamLab Planets ticket to access it. You order before entering and eat at a glass table surrounded by continuously changing projected artwork. The combination of the ramen and immersive setting made this such a memorable experience.

  • Vegan

    Tokyo Vegan Ramen Center

    The presentation here was incredible—so many beautiful details. The food was delicious, and the presentation made the experience even better. A great stop for vegan ramen in Tokyo.

  • Plant-Based

    KOMEDA is □

    A casual plant-based Japanese café with sandwiches, burgers, coffee and comfort food. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the soy ham cutlet sandwich, but I enjoyed the other things I tried. Good casual option when you want something easy.

    2foods Ginza (Closed)

    I visited this spot multiple times and loved how quick and casual it was. Everything I tried was great. Note: the Ginza Loft location has closed, so this is a previous Veggie Travel Girl favorite rather than a current recommendation.

Tokyo ended up being one of my favorite cities for finding creative vegan food. From immersive ramen experiences to vegan sushi, Japanese comfort food and desserts, there are so many options beyond the typical salad or veggie bowl. Save this guide for your next trip to Tokyo!
