Vegan Bistro Jangara

The 15 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tokyo, Japan | Eater

"Located near Harajuku, right above the Kyushu Jangara ramen shop — which also offers a couple of excellent vegan bowls — and operated by the same company, this restaurant serves a number of meat-free noodly delights too. However, the star of the show is the Juju Grill, a vegan and gluten-free take on a Japanese steakhouse classic: soy meat served on a sizzling cast-iron plate, doused in your choice of soy- or miso-based sauce. Order one with a side of gyoza and a tall glass of the sweet, photogenic, indigo-colored cream soda to get the energy needed to resist the temptations of the Omotesando shopping street outside. The restaurant also offers a good selection of options free of gluten (and of pungent roots, a factor for some Buddhist diners), and the seasonal drinks and shrubs are a real treat." - Chiara Terzuolo
