Best Sushi in Japan! Reservation required!

An amazing sushi restaurant! Don’t let the small size of this place fool you, they have big big plans for veganism in Japan and across the world! Everything they made for us was sensational. Go for the big platter and try everything they have to offer. What a place!

Excellent Sushi

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! Reservations are essential, so make sure to book on their website.

It's quite a small place and we were seated at the bar, but it didn't feel crowded or cramped. Staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered using the tablet, so it was all straight forward - though note that there is only one meal option (set plate of ten sushi pieces) so the only meal decisions are what drinks and desserts you want to accompany that. Payment is required when placing the order.

The sushi plate is served with miso soup and pickled ginger. The miso soup was tasty and had some lovely bits of tofu in it.

The sushi was excellent! We were all agreed that the scrambled egg was the only one that didn't work for us. It didn't have an eggy taste to me (no black salt and it just tasted of mayo), and the texture wasn't right either. The tempura shrimp also didn't totally live up to our expectations. The crispy texture was perfect, but there was no rubbery texture like we expected from the shrimp. Everything else was great. The pickled ginger piece was a wonderful surprise, really zingy and tasty. The tuna was my favourite, the mayo was used sparingly so the fishy flavour came through. I usually find avocado sushi quite uninspired, but the dressing on this one really elevated it. All the little touches of sauces and dressings were really good.

For dessert we all got the doroyaki - two little pancakes sandwiched together with red bean paste. They were sweet and tasty, but I wish we'd got the ice cream for accompaniment as it was a little dry.

There weren't many non-alcoholic cold drinks on offer. We all got the yuzu soda, which was fizzy and fun.

All in all, this was a really fun experience. It was nice to be able to try ten different flavours of sushi, and even when we didn't like one of them it still felt like a great deal.

Perfect first meal in Tokyo

Best sushi I’ve ever had - favourites were the egg (scarily realistic) and the tuna. We opted to try the sake tasting as well and enjoyed that. The interior of the restaurant is so cute and I loved that they were playing music from Ghibli films. You currently have to make a reservation to dine in, so don’t miss out!

Best Vegan Sushi in the World – A Mind-Blowing Experience in Tokyo

Vegan Sushi Tokyo is the best vegan sushi I’ve ever had. Each piece is carefully made, with perfect texture and presentation. Everything feels authentic and thoughtfully prepared.

The setting is small, classic, and peaceful. No seasonal ingredients or fancy extras—just traditional vegan sushi done right.

If you’re in Tokyo, don’t miss it.

Speechless

Its amazing!
Only downside is the reservation and ordering process. Basically you have to pay a deposit of 3000yen, which you get back. Then you have to access a different page via QR code in the store and pay (again) for the sushi. Feels a bit laborious but even then it’s still worth it!!!

Pros: Vegan sushi, Atmosphere

Cons: Ordering/reservation process

Unique and delicious sushi experience

Probably my favorite place of my entire Japan trip so far. The mixed sushi platter was absolutely delicious, the dessert (Japanese pancakes with red bean paste and vanilla ice cream) was outstanding. This is probably as close to a traditional sushi experience as you can currently get.

The staff was also super nice and they even gave me a list of recommendations for other vegan friendly restaurants in Japan.

Definitely a restaurant I will return to at some point, either to see what new creative sushi variants they come up with, or to just order the exact same thing over again and be just as happy.

Pros: Really delicious, Friendly staff, Great relaxed atmosphere

Cons: On the expensive side, but well worth the money

Come here FIRST on your trip to Tokyo!

This little sushi spot in Shibuya right near the station is amazing.

The sushi is fabulous. I brought my boyfriend who is born and raised Japanese but isn’t fond of raw fish, and he said, and I quote, it’s the “best sushi in Japan”. Get the set meal with a drink and dessert for the whole experience. My favorite is the tempura sushi. Flavors and textures are 10/10.

The reason I say to come here first is because the staff is incredible and will give you recommendations for your entire time in Tokyo. Pyon, the owner, is the sweetest person in the world, and her recommendations are fabulous and very discerning. Every time I come back to Japan, I come here at least once. It’s my vegan anchor restaurant in Tokyo!

Tourist Trap - Overpriced and Overhyped

I usually avoid leaving negative reviews for fully vegan establishments, but unfortunately, this was one of my least enjoyable dining experiences in Japan so far. While the food was of good quality, the overall experience left much to be desired and of all the options in Tokyo, I cannot recommend visiting this restaurant.

The atmosphere was heavily commercialized, with an overwhelming number of English advertisements throughout the restaurant pushing their various add on's, which took away from the dining experience. Additionally, the prices felt quite high for what was offered. I also found it off-putting that the online menu included a section asking for tips, and there was an additional tip jar at the entrance—something that felt unnecessary given that tipping is not customary in Japan. It seemed to take advantage of tourists who may not be aware of local customs.

To top it off, as we were leaving, the waiter was quite persistent in pushing a map and asking for a review, which added to the discomfort. Unfortunately, I wish I had a more positive experience to share, but based on my visit, I can't recommend this place.

In my opinion, vegan sushi is difficult to execute well in Japan, where the focus is on fresh seafood. If you’re looking for plant-based options, I’d suggest exploring other traditional Japanese dishes (ramen, soba, etc.) rather than seeking out vegan sushi, which may be better enjoyed back home.

Pros: All vegan

Cons: Atmosphere, Price, Touristy

Oh my

To think that I almost didnt go besauce I dont eat sushi much… I promise it’s nothing like the usual sushi. It feels like a fine dining experience on budget. Each piece was delicious and I wouldnt be able to choose the best.
Staff super friendly.
For dessert I had the pancake which was delicious too.
When I’m back in Tokyo again this will be the first place I will go

A must visit in Shibuya

Best vegan sushi in town. The place is quite small, so make sure to make reservation before-hands.
Great staff service and you can taste the natural sweetness from the sushi material itself. It was a great dining experience!

Pros: Great food quality, Nice service, Reasonable price

Best vegan sushi experience in the world

If you're a visiting vegan, you should prioritize visiting here! Your experience here is worth every yen. There is a simple menu that is based on offering the chance to try everything the restaurant has to offer in each individual meal, including certified vegan sake. Each piece is unique and incredibly delicious. On top of that, the vegan owner and staff are so friendly, speak English perfectly, and will speak with you and make the whole experience so fun for each visitor.

Pros: Each piece is really unique, Soup, desert, and drink included, Vegan owner and staff

Pretty cool experience!

Amazing experience, as vegan sushi is not easy to find in Japan. The Sushi was presented beautifully, and it was fun trying all the different flavours! My favourites were the Tuna and Tempura.
