Huge Variety

The perfect place to stock up on so many different vegan products at really good prices. There were items I had never seen anywhere else in Japan, even Tokyo, and I was excited to try them. Do watch out because not everything is vegan, it's a vegetarian shop, but if you pay attention to the labels, you'll be fine.

Answer to my prayers

Found so many meat free items I’ve been longing for since arriving in Japan, a really good selection of food, even some things I’d never even seen in England like vegan pheasant! The woman running the shop was really friendly too!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Close to the subway station, Really friendly owner/clerk

Cons: A little pricy but that’s common in U.K. too

A must go if you’re vegan in Nagoya

Violife cheese, omnimeat, vegan ice cream, vegan mock meat, gyoza, cutlets, weiners, salmon and shrimp. They also have the more healthfood based products, like TVP and organic/gluten free products. A bit pricey, but way cheaper than importing. Highly recommend.

Pros: Lots of vegan imports, Lots of vegan Japanese style foods and seafood

Cons: On the pricey side

Vegan goodies to all over Japan!!

I buy from this store for amazing soy sausages, soy nuggets, soy hams and hamburgers to Osaka by mail.
Shipping free is you order
Ore than ¥10000 you can order with your family and friends and just put it in the freezer for your vegan lunch box to office or school!! Highly recommended!!

Love this shop!

This is my go to place for vegan goods, and they have a lot of interesting products! You can grab a bento box, pack of ramen, ice cream, and plenty of fake meats for your own recipes. I come here pretty often since it's very close to my place, which I'm very grateful for! So glad this store exists!

Pros: location (for me anyway), tons of great products!

Great shop, bad location

Karuna has a great selection of vegetarian, vegan and macrobiotic treats. This store is also affiliated with the Taiwanese Buddhist temple nearby. I actually went to a vegetarian cooking retreat at the Buddhist sanctuary in Nakatsugawa, Gifu a few years ago.

Prices are fair and the selection is great. I'm a big fan of the mock Unagi (grilled eel) made from mashed tofu, lightly fried on a sheet of nori and seasoned with unagi style sweet soy sauce and sansho.

Only problem is, Karuna is quite a way from downtown Nagoya. A long train ride is required and then a hike up a long hill. If you go by car there are only two or three parking spaces. Be careful!

Pros: Fair prices, good selection, Take away bentos and sandwiches

Cons: Out of the way, Online shop shipping costs rather high
