VEGAN EAT TOKYO
Vegan Eat Tokyo is a fully vegan restaurant in the Asakusa sightseeing area that opened in February 2024. The menu is supervised by a French chef and blends Japanese and Western European influences, with dishes built entirely from plant based ingredients. The cooking is notable for its technique: the carrot katsu (the most popular item) is crispy and fluffy, the smoked mushroom vegan cheese carbonara recreates a rich dairy flavor from plant sources, and the lotus root hamburger steak comes in a miso blended tomato sauce. The restaurant also carries five pungent vegetable free and gluten free options, as well as oriental vegan (全素) compatibility. The drinks list focuses exclusively on organic products, including seven varieties of Italian bio beer, organic wines, ginger ale, cola, and vegan certified Japanese sake (Nanbu Bijin). The interior is wood heavy and warm, with a natural, relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant calls itself a "Life Design Restaurant" and has developed quickly since opening, reaching 4.7 stars on Google Maps within months.
