Go! Muffins go!

The 15 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tokyo, Japan | Eater

"Owner and chef Maiko Amemiya worked in New York, London, and Istanbul before opening her own bakery in Tokyo, and this international experience shows in the quality of her bakes. The eponymous muffins are laced with Japanese flavors such as chestnut cream, sudachi citrus, and matcha, and the savory varieties, a rarity in Japan, are a particularly lovely way to start your morning, especially if you’re lucky enough to catch versions that use sake lees in lieu of cheese. While the location in Nishi Ogikubo (open only on Thursday and Sunday) is far from the city center, you can find the brand’s muffins at the Food & Company shop inside Shinjuku Station on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday afternoons, and often at the Aoyama Farmers Market on Saturdays.
