Nagishokudo - Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
This place is a contender for my favorite vegan spot in Tokyo. The picture is of vegan minced “Duck”, which was incredible. This was only one of many meals I had here, but I spent more time eating than taking pictures for some reason… ;)
The dinner menu varied each time I was there, (only a few days apart) and everything I had was fresh and flavorful. Had a really nice vibe too; friendly staff, cool music, Japanese and Western seating.
It’s a bit tricky to find and there is a place near by with a similar name so study a map carefully. Coming from the main exit at Shibuya, you want to cross the pedestrian bridge to the left towards the guitar area. Head up the hill several blocks. The restaurant itself is across from a post office, and its sort of below ground…
Pure Cafe Omotesando, Tokyo, Japan (1st floor of the Aveda building) (3/2010)
This place had a delicious and inexpensive dinner set and the location was really easy to find. The picture is a vegan enchilada, which was really good despite my strong skepticism of eating mexican food anywhere in asia…
M Cafe de Chaya Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan (3/2010)
This isn’t too difficult to find, but its a little out of the way, and located within the food court of a business complex. Apparently it’s the same chain as the one in Hollywood and the steepish prices and high quality of food and desserts definitely reflect that.
It wasn’t cheap, but I had this massive delicious feast of a dinner set and added a yummy tiramisu for dessert…
mumokuteki Kyoto, Japan (3/2010)
Not very difficult to find, restaurant is upstairs. The ramen set was amazing, exactly what I had been craving for days… It can be frustrating seeing ramen shops everywhere and not being able to just duck in and grab some like everybody else.
