I'm vegetarian — I don't eat meat or fish.
この料理に肉や魚のだしは入っていますか？Does this dish contain meat or fish stock?
A tiny tatami-floored diner on the Shimokitazawa backstreets where every bowl of rich, medicinal-herb ramen is 100% plant-based and built on sprouted brown rice.
★ Gluten-free crust California pizza (vegan cheese option)
A Roppongi institution since 1996 where homesick Americans and coeliac travellers alike crowd the bar for craft beer and proper gluten-free crust pizza topped with vegan cheese.
A perpetually-queued Tabelog Top-100 udon shop near Shinjuku where every bowl of springy noodles is cut and boiled to order — try the cult carbonara udon.
This flagship near Shinjuku-sanchome crowns a 100% halal-certified bowl with slices of seared A5 wagyu roast beef — pork- and alcohol-free, prayer space on hand.
★ Chicken paitan ramen — creamy broth from halal chicken simmered over 6 hours
A no-pork, no-alcohol ramen counter east of Shinjuku Gyoen where Japan Islamic Trust-certified halal chicken is coaxed into a tonkotsu-rich paitan that converts sceptics.
★ 100% plant-based meal plates and fully plant-based desserts in a greenery-filled cafe
A CAFE COMPANY cafe inside Lumine Shinjuku 1 (opened 2024) offering dedicated 100% plant-based meal plates and all-plant-based desserts alongside a regular menu with meat and fish — so it is vegan-friendly, not fully vegan. Choose the plant-based plates or desserts.
★ All-vegan cakes (several gluten-free) made with naturally-grown fruit
A small all-vegan patisserie-cafe a minute from Shinjuku-Gyoenmae specialising in plant-based cakes — many gluten-free and lower-sugar — using naturally-cultivated fruit. Every item is free of egg, dairy and honey.
★ Gluten-free vegan lasagna and CBD-infused vegan sweets and drinks
An English-friendly, 100% vegan cafe in the basement of Shinjuku Marui Honkan from CBD/vegan pioneer HealthyTOKYO — paninis, quiche, gluten-free lasagna and CBD-infused sweets, all free of meat, fish, egg and dairy. Easy for foreign visitors.
