A must go to! - Edit
The place is run by Satoshi and his wife who are so very friendly! He will let you know that there is no English menu but if you say you are Veggie / Vegan and any other dietary requirements he will cater to them.
Read moreWe had five courses; an eggplant appetizer, potato salad (which may have been my favourite), grilled baby corn, egg omelette, a cheese dish and okonomiyaki (with avocado) they were all so top notch! He is so nice to have a chat with and makes you feel so welcome, I really cannot sing their praises enough. Definitely try his homemade ginger beer as well it's delicious and his wife owns a bakery next door which I am sure is great too!
They shouted goodbye down the street after us, which really made us feel very welcome!
(I would give it 5 stars but Happy Cow doesn't let me)
Pros: The owners are amazing, The food was so good!, The atmosphere and decor was great
Cons: It's a small place so book a table!

Unique, delicious and cozy experience - Edit
We asked the owner to make a vegan menu for us which he easily did. We had 6 dishes and all was delicious and freshly made. I can highly recommend the homemade ginger ale too!

Unique and delicious izakaya - Edit
Yasai is a cute and happy (元気) Izakaya near Akihabara, Tokyo. There is no English menu, but the owner speaks English well and was very accommodating of our vegetarian diet. If you like sweet drinks, try the Umeshu! The horsetail & white asparagus salad was unique and delicious. The avocado okonomiyaki was the best veggie version of the dish I have had so far. I highly recommend this restaurant 🥰

You must go here! - Edit
Our best experience in Tokyo so far! Such a special place, amazing Japanese food, the staff was super friendly and created a vegan menu for us. The chef also showed us how to make one of the dishes and was entertaining overall! Will recommend to anyone and everyone looking for a restaurant in Tokyo.

Kooky little place - Edit
Really cool little place we ended up at by accident after our first choice was shut. Owner is nice and funny and understands what vegan means. We tried a variety of dishes, our favourites being the okonomiyaki and the potato salad. We did find it was a little pricey when paying and as there is no English menu it is hard to predict how much you will end up paying. But was still a really good experience and great atmosphere
Read morePros: Tasty, experimental vegan options , Understands what vegan is , Authentic Japanese experience
Cons: A bit pricey , No English menu - can’t predict price

Amazing vegetarian / vegan Izakaya experience - Edit
It is pretty hard to find a fully vegan or vegetarian traditional Japanese Izakaya in Tokyo, so although this tiny Izakaya also serves animal product dishes I would rate it even higher than HappyCow allows. The owner is incredibly friendly and accommodating, even though the menu is only available in Japanese, serving us up a selection of 5 vegan and vegetarian dishes that were all incredible. Fantastic atmosphere for any one looking for that Izakaya experience with a unique and homely twist. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere and good vegan dishes - Edit
I found this place when looking for an izakaya with vegan dishes. The owner was very friendly when I said I was vegan, he told me which dishes were ok or not, and he even adjusted a few ones (like replacing cheese by vegan cheese). There were plenty of options and the homemade ginger ale and hot ginger were delicious.
