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.

FAQ
- Are there Vegetarian restaurants in Shibuya?
- Yes. We've confirmed 4 Vegetarian-friendly venues in Shibuya in person — Falafel Brothers Shibuya, Vegan Izakaya Masaka, Vegan Sushi Tokyo. No meat or fish (dairy and eggs are usually fine). The catch in Japan: dishes that contain no visible meat are frequently cooked in fish-based dashi, so always confirm the stock.
- What should Vegetarian travellers watch for in Shibuya?
- The traps are the same across Japan: Fish stock (dashi / katsuobushi) hidden in 'vegetable' dishes / Bacon or chicken in salads and sautéed vegetables / Fish sauce, oyster sauce and shrimp in stir-fries. Always confirm your specific dish with the staff.
- How do I order Vegetarian food in Japanese?
- 「私はベジタリアンで、肉と魚は食べません。」(Watashi wa bejitarian de, niku to sakana wa tabemasen.) — I'm vegetarian — I don't eat meat or fish.
