Vegan kara-age (plant-based 'fried chicken') and vegan gyoza
A fully plant-based izakaya in the basement of Shibuya PARCO serving vegan 'fried chicken', gyoza and lemon sours, with no meat, fish, eggs, dairy or honey, so the fish-dashi trap does not apply. It is not gluten-free, as the mock-meat batters and soy sauce contain wheat.

- Yes. We've confirmed 5 Vegan-friendly venues in Shibuya in person — Falafel Brothers Shibuya, GEN-TEN Gluten-free Bakery, Vegan Izakaya Masaka. No meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey. In Japan the hidden trap is dashi — fish stock that flavours soups, simmered dishes and even many vegetable sides.

- The traps are the same across Japan: Dashi (fish stock) — in miso soup, simmered dishes, soba/udon broth, many sauces / Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) sprinkled on top of vegetables and tofu / Egg in tempura batter, mayonnaise, and ramen toppings. Always confirm your specific dish with the staff.
