Vegan Options in Aoyama, Tokyo

September 17, 2020 By Rose

Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to eat at many vegan restaurants in Tokyo. Although vegan food is still a rarity in Japan overall, it is slowly starting to become more well-known in some major cities. Unfortunately, there are still many areas of the city with no vegan options. One of the areas that I have noticed has several vegan options is Aoyama in central Tokyo. Today I’d like to introduce you to some of the ones I’ve been to!

☆ Lunch menu 8/22 sat. 「たっぷり味噌汁と土鍋ごはん」紹介! 主菜は “ 茄子の揚げ出し ” . たっぷりの油で揚げた茄子に、ひらたけしめじで作った特製の出汁をかけて。モロヘイヤや油揚げ、大根おろしと共にお出ししました。 初夢に出ると縁起がよいとされる「一富士・二鷹・三茄子」。そう言われるようになったのは、江戸時代のこと。実は、「四扇・五煙草・六座頭」と続きます。「富士」と「扇」は末広がりで繁栄、「鷹」と「煙草(のけむり)」は上に向かっていくことから運気上昇、「茄子」と「座頭」は毛がない(ケガ無い)ということから家内安全を表しています。茄子を食べて今日の夢に茄子が出てきますように。皆さまの無事故と家内安全をお祈りします。 . ▼ OVEは健康的な食のご提案を通じて、自転車のある暮らしに役立つ情報発信しているコンセプトストアです。 . #OVE #ランチ #南青山ランチ #サイクルカフェ #野菜ランチ #野菜料理 #季節の野菜 #土鍋ごはん #玄米菜食 #たっぷり味噌汁と土鍋ごはん #自転車のある生活 #免疫力を高める

This is a really great cafe for vegans who are also into cycling because this is actually a cycling cafe! They have indoor parking for your bicycle.

They have alcohol spray and little pockets for your mask so that you don’t have to put it directly on the table when you eat.

The tables are also spaced apart very generously and they have plastic dividers on the tables so that you can eat with friends without too much risk. Obviously, since we live together, there is no need for us to be separated so we sat next to each other.

There were books and pictures and all kinds of information about cycling. They even offer a “cycling concierge” service, allowing you to ask them anything you want about cycling.

Now for the part you have all been waiting for: the food!
Most of the items on their menu are vegan and ones that aren’t they are usually able to make vegan upon request. I ordered the curry lunch which normally includes cheese, but they were able to make it without it no problem.

My husband ordered the Miso Soup and Donabe-Gohan Lunch, which came with several delicious side-dishes. This meal was already vegan without any special request.

The lunch at this cafe is very healthy, using a variety of fresh and seasonal vegetables and is well-portioned (it was actually a little bit too much food for me, but I don’t eat a lot).

When we got there around 11:30, we were the only customers. Lunch doesn’t start until 12, but they allowed us to order ahead of time and we were able to get drinks while we waited. My husband ordered a Soy Chai Tea Latte and I got herb tea.

Overall, it was a very satisfying lunch and I hope to go there again sometime!

Healthy Monster

I didn’t realize I was in the picture lol

Back in January, we had lunch at “Healthy Monster.”

I got the Vegan Gratin
Seiya got the Cajun Soy Meat
His was honestly SO GOOD. The sauce on the soy meat was amazing. Side note: so much salad!! lol
Vegan Dessert and coffee!

As I recall, some of the items on the menu were not vegan, but they were all clearly marked. I really liked the cajun soy meat that Seiya ordered! Apparently they have a gym too, but we just went for lunch.

Tokyo Juice が完成するまでの取組は素晴らしく、この場所をホームと呼べることに誇らしく思います。  2枚目の写真をスクロールして見てください。以前はお店背後に青いドアとお手洗いがありました。   ———  Amazing to see all the hard work we put into #tokyojuice and so proud to call this place #home. Check out the second 📸 – there use to be blue doors and a bathroom 🚽 in the back!! #smallbusiness.

I was on my way home from the bicycle shop when I found this little cafe. The words “vegan snacks” and “take-out” caught my eye and I knew I had to see for myself what they had.

I ended up buying all three kinds of vegan sweets that they had: chocolate chip cookies, carrot cake, and a brownie. I took them home to share with my husband and we were both amazed! All three of them were absolutely delicious. It’s a good thing I don’t live next to this shop or I would have a hard time controlling myself!

The staff spoke English and Japanese and were super friendly! It’s a small business that is owned by an American couple and the atmosphere of the shop is really laid-back and comfortable. All menu items (food and drinks) are vegan and gluten free and made from scratch using fresh ingredients.

Apparently they opened up a second shop last month near Hanzomon and they have sandwiches! I haven’t been to this location yet, but I really want to go. They look delicious!

Ratio&C by Bridgestone (Onibus Coffee)

Address: 〒150-0001 東京都渋谷区神宮前3-1-26 
Open Weekdays: 9:00-19:00, Weekends: 10:00-19:00, Closed Wednesdays

This is another cycling cafe, but the coffee and sweets are all provided by Onibus Coffee, my favorite coffee shop in Tokyo.

Their drink menu has vegan options (I like their soy lattes!) and they have their own sweets brand called “myown” which includes some vegan sweets. Unfortunately, not everything is vegan so you do have to ask.

Vegan muffins I got from Onibus, Okusawa branch, enjoyed at home with coffee!

Other Vegan Options

There are still many other cafes and restaurants in this area which offer vegan options that I have yet to try. Hopefully I can continue to add more when I get the chance to visit them, but until then, feel free to check out this list: https://vegewel.com/en/area/3
