Vegan Sushi Tokyo

Vegan Sushi Tokyo opened in June 2024 in Shibuya's Dogenzaka neighborhood as the city's first dedicated plant based sushi restaurant. The kitchen is supervised by Ko Tanimizu, a vegetable sushi chef with over 14 years of experience. Pieces are made in traditional nigiri and gunkan styles using inventive substitutions: pumpkin paste for sea urchin, tofu and yam for kabayaki, carrot for shrimp tempura. The menu avoids the five pungent roots (garlic, onion, chives, scallions, green onion), making it suitable for Buddhist and oriental vegan diners. The space has a retro modern interior with maneki neko figures, bar seating, and a few booths. The restaurant is operated by Vcook Inc., a vegan recipe platform.
