Masaka (Vegan Izakaya)

Izakaya Masaka is a fully vegan izakaya on the basement floor of Shibuya Parco, in the Chaos Kitchen food hall. The format follows a classic izakaya setup: small shareable dishes designed to go with drinks. Everything on the menu is plant based. The focus is on soy meat karaage coated in tapioca flour for extra crunch, available in multiple sauce variations. The rest of the menu rounds out with gyoza, mapo tofu, and other bar food staples, all reworked without animal products. It reads more like a casual drinking spot than a health food restaurant, which is part of what makes it unusual in Tokyo's vegan scene.
