Loved it - Edit
The vegan lunch was great. Probably the tastiest vegan food I've had in Japan during my vacation, and definitely one of the top restaurants with vegan food I've been to, ever. It is delicious, and the atmosphere is very nice.

Cons: The choice is a bit limited

The Chef is a Damn Magician and the Service is Amazing - Edit
I'd give five stars if the restaurant was fully vegan, but I'll leave the fifth one blank in deference to the site rules. (Since we spoke last night, if the chef happens to read this know that I think your cooking is worth five stars.)
Read moreThe menu is course-based and for the vegan option there was only one course available but I hope this won't deter you. Everything was delicious and the chef was friendly and explained each dish. I was able to try a few foods I'd never had before such as hanabira-take mushrooms and yuba "steaks" and everything tasted amazing. Even things I wasn't sure I'd like such as panna cotta(I am not a pudding fan) were very good. They even had decaf coffee available for after dinner which was just a tiny little bonus for me.
The ambiance was also delightful. Though, seating is limited so be aware and perhaps call ahead if you have a larger party.
I really had absolutely no complaints. I stopped in just by chance but ended up having a wonderful dinner/evening and definitely want to go again.
I don't actually know if the owner speaks English or not, since I speak Japanese and never tried to communicate in anything else, but there was a sign saying that an English menu was available so probably you'll be okay if you need one.
Pros: Everything was DELICIOUS, Friendly, excellent service and an engaging chef, Great atmosphere
Cons: Not many, honestly! Perhaps the limited seating?

Would not recommend - Edit
1) They charge table fee of 350 yen per pax which we were not informed.
Read more2) They don’t allow you to order individual dishes but must be the same for all members to save cooking time.
3)They charge for everything you ask for such as butter to go with the bread they serve / cheese for spaghetti.
(Not sure if this is standard in Japan but definitely not in Singapore)
4) Their vegetarian pasta is just plain spaghetti with carbonara sauce. There was no vegetable or whatsoever in it.
5) Restaurant was pushy to get us to order drinks when we did not really want to.
This is by far the simplest meal but most expensive I had in Tokyo!
I would boycott this establishment and go at your own risk!
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Nothing properly served , Just plain spaghetti, nothing inside , Imagine the same dish for all members of the famil

Exceptional Italian - Edit
A wonderful place for a special occasion. I had the plant based dégustation with wine pairing, and every course was delicious. The smoked tofu ‘carbonara’ was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. It’s a very small space so you can see the chef working in the kitchen, which is very interesting in itself.
Read morePros: Classic Italian food made vegan , Food both beautifully plated and delicious , Great selection of natural wines

OK Italian if you're in the area - Edit
I tried out this place because I had a spa session in the area. My boyfriend and I both had a set menu which was 4,000 yen tax, which consisted of 2 appetizers, 1 pasta, and 4 main dishes. My boyfriend had a non-vegan menu, and I the vegan one. Momento did alright, not really an exciting flavour profile. Friendly staff though and cosy atmosphere and area.
Read moreFYI: If you don't go for the set menu you would possibly have to wait a while - see info I got from the restaurant by e-mail: "It's about providing two dishes (1 is vegan and the other is non-vegan) but will be prepared by one chef, so there is a possibility that one of you will have to wait"
Pros: Cosy atmosphere , Lovely location, Friendly staff
Cons: Bland flavours, wished for more excitement , Small venue, room for max 10-12p, Ingredients weren't properly handled

A real tret - Edit
I would have given this restaurant 5 stars because although it's not fully vegan, they have created a vegan tasting menu that is original, creative, delicious and respectful of both Italian and Japanese cuisine.
Read moreI am Italian myself and normally I would avoid Italian restaurant outside of Italy, we were invited by a friend so went along without much expectation.
Our tastebuds were blown away by the dishes on offer.
There were many highlights, the ingredients were so tasty and prepared with care. Our meat eating friends were quite shocked that vegan food could be so attractive and delicious.
My personal favourites were the appetizers and the yuba-meat, which is the first time I see and it works incredibly well.
It is on the expensive side but it's worth it, we tend to forget how much work goes into well prepared cuisine.

* the title should have been " a real treat" .
Read moreJust to clarify the 4 stars rating: Happy cow doesn't allow you to give 5 stars unless the place is entirely vegan.
