Shojin ryouri

I've heard of the traditional buddhist cuisine of shojin ryouri a lot but never been to a restaurant with that as it's premise before. The food was served to us in the traditional style with lots of small plates, the main, rice, etc. It was nice to try it and the food was lovely. Didn't leave you too full, which keeps with the Japanese custom I believe.

Pros: Traditional food, Tastes good, Seems healthy

Cute little restaurant

It is a very small restaurant under the Akihabara JR station. They serve Buddhist food, and the portions are a bit on the small side. However, everything was very delicious and it tasted very healthy.

You can feel the train on top sometimes while eating, so it is quite an experience :p

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: It was a bit hard to find, Limited selection of food

Came for the food, will return for the food AND the beer.

Nice food in a calm and friendly atmosphere. The staff was very friendly.
I ordered a combination meal with both cold and hot dishes and they where all very tasty. If you prefer your food very salty though, then this is probably not your kind of place. If you as me likes to taste the actual food then its really nice. They also served locally microbrewery type of beer that tasted delicious. the food is nicely presented to is looks just as good as it tastes.

Pros: very tasty food, quiet and calm atmosphere, friendly staff that also speaks english

Amazing vegan restaurant in Akihabara

Delightful sustainable vegan dishes with a inspired on Japanese traditional cuisine. Added bonus of being very close to Akihabara station and inside a gourmet market where you can buy other delicious Japanese traditional treats. Was slightly on the expensive side and only had 4 menus.

Pros: Very delicious, Good location, Fully vegan

Cons: Limited options

Great place to eat

It is slightly more expensive than most places in tokyo (1100/pers) but worth it imo. It was very tasty, full vegan, very nice staff, and also very calm environnement.

Delicious and healthy

Not sure what the previous review is on about! Dragged 3 carnivore mates here, but all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I got the set with a bit of everything, and they had the curry sets and the fried set. Interesting flavours, some soft in taste some heavy, but all round a great meal.

Pros: 100% vegan menu, Authentic asian flavours, New vegan options I've never seen/tried

Tastes Too Healthy - Like Dirt

Yeahhh… the food literally tastes like dirt with dressing. It’s bad, even that unhealthy-delicious-looking fried food tastes bad. Come here for food, don’t come here for flavour.

Enjoyable dinner

We had the curry set and the breaded and fried ‘fu’ set. Both were enjoyable. Service was very quick. We arrived just in time to get food, a bit after 6 (last orders at 6:30 pm) and there were only three options available then.

calm down in busy akihabara

The small restaurant is inside a natural, healthy food grocery store, also very worth a visit. A very nice retreat from, and within, busy and smelly akihabara :-)
The restaurants corner is quite small, and feels nice. They have bookshelve full of information on good food (EN + JP) as well as other information on veganism in Japan.

The selection of menues is small, but good. 3 dishes a 1300 yen + a sample set 1650 yen, wich has a little bit of all the others.

We had the sample set. It was all very tasty. However, I recommend to take one of the normal set if you are looking to properly eat and the sample set only for inspiration. The samples are just tiny and do not play together all that well (no surprise there), e.g. The curry with the japanese style dishes.

Definetly recommend to check this place out.

Pros: Good food, Centrally located

Nice option in Akihabara

Cheaper than most shojin ryori in Tokyo and you can get a nice lunch set, but a little lacking in flavor. Maybe due to not using alliums.

Vegeterian set

It was not easy to find vegan food at Akihabara, we were lucky to find this veg restaurant. Overall, we enjoy the nicely plated vegetarian food set meal. It was a healthy and non oily food option. However, just a little disappointed with the food portion as it was rather small and the price was on the high side.

Pros: 4-5 options available

Cons: Small portions

Pretty good for price

I’ve been to Komaki Shokudo before 2 years ago and it’s changed a little since then. Now you can only order 4 different types of dishes. There is a Tofu set, Tonkatsu set, special set and another one i forgot. The special set is a little more expensive at ¥1680 but there are various side dishes so I think it’s worth it. I had the tonkatsu set and it was really delicious. Miso soup was a little bitter for my taste though

Pros: Big Portions, Healthy and full of vitamins, Various flavours

Cons: Miso soup is a little bitter

A bit disappointing..

Was so looking forward to this but unfortunately very flavourless. The curry was ok but everything else was lacking.

Great option if you avoid alliums

It’s not easy to find vegetarian food without onion, garlic and other alliums. This is one. Owner is responsive to Facebook message, and communicates in English. So check ahead before going.

Pros: All vegan, No alliums

I went here twice because there are not many vege restaurants in Akihabara

Food is okay, I like the variety in one plate, but not everything in it is good. I think it’s a little bit expensive.

Pros: Fried tofu nuggets were really good, All vegetarian menu, Close to Akihabara station

Cons: Too salty soup, Coffee tasted like water

Restaurante vegano para zafar

La comida no se destaca y la atención es menos amable de lo normal para Japón. Se encuentra dentro de un complejo con varias tiendas y restaurantes bajo las vías

Pros: Todo es vegano

Cons: Difícil de encontrar
