Experience Details
Finding authentic Japanese vegan and vegetarian food in Tokyo can be challenging, particularly if you don't speak Japanese. Many of the country's most celebrated foods (think ramen, gyoza, or sushi) contain animal products in one way or another, and asking for alternatives isn't always possible. But that doesn't mean that Japan doesn't have a growing plant-based scene. That's where this vegetarian and vegan tour in Tokyo comes in!
The food tour begins in Asakusa, known for its culture, history, and amazing food scene. Your English-speaking guide will take you through its intricate streets and iconic sites while sharing interesting stories. The first stop of your plant-based food tour will be a cozy restaurant offering a variety of vegetarian and vegan-friendly dishes. You can choose among authentic Japanese cuisine offerings from hearty ramen to teishoku (traditional Japanese set meals). Lighter options are also available instead of a whole meal.
As the tour continues, you'll explore some of Tokyo's landmarks, sampling unique plant-based snacks and drinks you won't find anywhere else. You'll learn about Japan's evolving approach to vegetarian and vegan cuisine from your guide, as well as get some useful tips for the rest of your time in Japan!
The tour includes one bowl of vegan ramen or similar plant-based dish, a snack and a drink with options to purchase and try additional vegetarian food and beverages. Expect to wrap up with a full stomach and knowledge to continue exploring plant-based alternatives in Japan's capital.
