Good and fancy but expensive and not so many vegan options

The vegan sushis and skewers were great, and the place is at the same time very Japanese in a traditional sense and quite fancy.
But it is quite expensive, and the staff did not know what vegan meant, even after I explained in Japanese, so not very comfortable.

Pros: Delicious, Fancy

Cons: Expensive, Not vegan friendly

Sushi in the sky

Get the glass elevator to the 14th floor (not for those who suffer from extreme vertigo!)
Pretty upmarket place, they have 2 sections a terayaki and a sushi so will seat you accordingly. The sushi side has views overlooking the city.
Staff really know vegan so make sure you tell them u are. We just popped by and didn't call ahead but they were really helpful. The soy sauce is NOT vegan as it has fish in it but the waiter brought one out for me made with vinegar. I had the avocado sushi. Presentation is lovely and it was really tasty!.

Great veggie sushi selection!

Was a little hard to find, but just make your way into the building and head up the elevator. Service was a little slow in the back room but we came later at night. Views were great. HIGHLY recommend for vegan sushi- avocado, green onion!, ginger — they have more as well. Super good find.

Pros: Vegan sushi

Cons: Slow service (could have been an off night)

High quality restaurant

We got a bit lost finding it - it’s on the 14th floor of a building, we were wandering down the street.
Once we got there, it had a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. I was given a vegetarian menu and we were asked if we wanted bar or table. I had the soba with tempura, which was nice but the tempura was the best part so I would order that on its own next time.
There’s an extensive alcohol menu and my partner enjoyed the meaty options. A lot of variety in the menu if a group of you are going.

Pros: Vegetarian menu, Large restaurant with good atmosphere, Varied drinks menu

Thanks HappyCow ! Lifesaver

Great restaurant with good ambiance.
Call ahead to say you're vegan and they'll do good things for you. Vegan dinner course is 5000jpy. I'm sure they have a la carte items too.
Grateful that Happy Cow recommended this place

Pros: Very helpful staff who speak English , They know what vegan means!, Food is good too

Vegetarian Set Menu for Lunch Available with Option to go Vegan.

This was a life saver on our way to Maricart. They hadn’t received our booking and we had to wait 2hrs until the next slot. So we decided to grab lunch nearby and this seemed like the only place within very close walking distance (one of our group was on crutches) that we could get food. Great food, great service and they clearly understood vegetarianism and veganism (2 vegans and 2 veggies in our group) although we decided to use the “vegan passport” just to make sure (extremely useful in Tokyo). Although it was slightly expensive for an impromptu lunch it was worth it.

Pros: Vegetarian Set Lunch Menu Available, Option to go Vegan, Great food

Cons: Slightly Expensive for Lunch , Only One Choice (Set Menu)

Attentive staff, tasty, fancy, late night & awesome

Vegan tempura, edamame, salad, tofu & vegetable skewers. Only skipped the tofu, but explained I was super hungry. Skewers (mushroom, asparagus, chili & onion) & salad were very tasty with large portions. Soy sauce is NOT vegan but they will prepare an olive oil dipping sauce if requested. Waiter was SUPER awesome and double checked with the chef that everything he suggested was vegan; I’m posting an image of the vegetarian/gluten free menu. Cool room with lots of space, OPEN LATE!! Worth a ¥700 cab ride from Shibuya when starving late at night 3

Pros: Communicative staff, Rad atmosphere , Tasty vegan options

Cons: A bit pricy
