Tokyo's Dietary-Friendly Dining Map: 169 Verified Restaurants, Broken Down
As of July 24, 2026, UMAMI HUNT tracks 169 individually verified restaurants, primarily across Tokyo with a growing Kyoto/Osaka/Fukuoka/Sapporo footprint, broken down by dietary accommodation — every number below is extracted directly from our own venue database, not estimated.
Venues by dietary accommodation
| Dietary need | Verified venues | Share of database |
|---|---|---|
| Vegetarian | 66 | 39% |
| Vegan | 56 | 33% |
| Halal | 32 | 19% |
| Gluten-free | 30 | 18% |
| Dairy-free | 28 | 17% |
| Pescatarian | 22 | 13% |
| Nut-free | 2 | 1% |
| Kosher | 1 | 1% |
Venues can carry more than one tag (a vegan kitchen is usually also vegetarian-safe), so this column doesn't sum to 169. "Halal" here means the venue is tagged halal in our system — it does not distinguish third-party certified from self-described Muslim-friendly; we always specify which on that venue's own page.
Where the coverage actually is
| Area | Verified venues |
|---|---|
| Iriya (Taito) | 20 |
| Ginza | 13 |
| Shinjuku | 13 |
| Shibuya | 10 |
| Okachimachi | 6 |
| Jingumae | 6 |
| Nihonbashi | 5 |
Coverage spans 61 distinct Tokyo neighborhoods in total. 62% of venues (105 of 169) confirm an English-language menu, and most sit in the ¥¥ price band (80 venues), with ¥¥¥ (42), ¥ (30) and ¥¥¥¥ (17) filling out the rest.

How to cite this data
If you reference these figures, please cite: "UMAMI HUNT Tokyo Dietary-Accommodation Map, UMAMI HUNT (umami-hunt.info), data as of July 24, 2026." We update the underlying database continuously — for a live count, use the JSON feed above rather than a cached figure from this page.
Methodology
Counts include every published venue-listing page in our database. Each venue is individually verified against Tabelog, its official site, and Google Maps before publication — nothing here is scraped or estimated from a single unverified source. Dietary tags are applied only when the venue's own menu, staff, or public materials confirm the accommodation. "Halal" includes both third-party certified and self-described Muslim-friendly venues, a distinction we spell out on each individual listing rather than in this aggregate count. See our editorial policy for the full verification standard.
FAQ
- How many restaurants does UMAMI HUNT track?
- As of July 24, 2026, we track 169 individually verified restaurants, mostly across Tokyo with an early Kyoto/Osaka/Fukuoka/Sapporo footprint, each checked against Tabelog, the venue's official site, and Google Maps before publication.
- What's the most common dietary accommodation in the database?
- Vegetarian-friendly venues are the largest group (66 venues, 39% of the database), followed closely by vegan (56, 33%). Halal and gluten-free venues make up smaller but still substantial shares, at 19% and 18%.
- Does "halal" in this data mean third-party certified?
- Not always. We tag a venue halal if it's either third-party certified or self-described Muslim-friendly, and we specify which distinction applies on that venue's own listing page. This aggregate count does not separate the two.
- Is this data free to use?
- Yes — the live JSON feed is freely accessible. If you cite the figures, please attribute UMAMI HUNT (see the citation note on this page).
