The 15 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tokyo, Japan | Eater
"The Asakusa neighborhood is deeply associated with tempura (most of which is decidedly non-vegan), including tendon — a rice bowl topped with freshly fried tempura, a beloved Japanese soul food. Arrive early to snag one of the five sought-after vegan tendons available each day at this riverside spot. Meant to be good for the “mind, body, and planet,” all dishes at this friendly joint are gluten-, garlic-, and alcohol-free, including curries and the well-balanced daily lunch plate (which also includes tempura), available if you don’t manage to snag the tendon. The restaurant also opens early for breakfast several days a week, offering vegan versions of chicken and waffles, particularly pleasant if you manage to get the table by the window that offers a view of the Skytree." - Chiara Terzuolo
