Non-veg
Serves meat, vegan options available. Serves buckwheat noodles and Nagano regional cuisine. Seaweed and mushrooms are used for the broth instead of fish. The first page of the menu clearly lists all the vegan dishes. Tateshinaan is located on the 9th floor of the Marui department store (it says 0101 on the outside, which is a pun in Japanese) and it is connected to Kita Senju station. Call ahead to confirm. Open Mon-Sun 11:00am-10:00pm.

NOT vegan - they use the same oil - Edit
They have many options that use a vegan broth HOWEVER he explained that they use the same oil as they use for the meat and that they are not a vegan/vegetarian restaurant.

Save the fish! - Edit
A lot of Buddhist cuisine restaurants in Japan will not prepare vegan food because they think that bonito is absolutely necessary for the taste, but this restaurant proves that they are wrong! Shiitake and kelp give a lot more taste than you need! Nobody will be dissatisfied with the taste. A great place for vegan Japanese cuisine without harming fish!

Enjoy the experience - Edit
Things are slowly changing in Japan. Vegan restaurants were always popular, but traditional restaurants simply ignored vegan or vegetarian guests. Up to now! Recently, ramen restaurants started offering vegan options and now Tateshinaan offers traditional soba dishes for vegans.
Read moreSoba restaurants are everywhere in Japan and the meals are almost vegan. Soba are noodles. When served cold, they come with a cup of dipping sauce. When served hot, they are served in a hot soup. In either case: fish broth is used to flavour and this is the main problem for vegans or vegetarians. Tateshinaan simply replaced the fish broth by seaweed and mushroom broth. The taste is almost the same as the fish broth, so everyone can now enjoy traditional Japanese soba.
We tried both the hot and cold set. The hot set comes with vegetable tempura and some pickled greens. The cold set comes with a little salad and might be a bit healthier. Both tasted exactly as they should.
The first page of the menu clearly lists the vegan options. Prices are average for a soba restaurant. Nothing remarkable, except for the fact that vegans are now welcome! Enjoy your Japanese experience!
Pros: genuine Japanese soba, convenient location, reasonable prices

It was nice to have this meal with you!
