We had a wonderful day exploring and were making our way back to the station when we saw a sign that said ‘vegan’ in Arashiyama! Coming across a vegan cafe or restaurant like this doesn’t happen that often so I was shocked, yet equally pleased! Of course, I had to immediately go in! Musubi Sweet …
Since moving to Japan 7 months ago, tea and cake is something that has severely missing from my life. Perhaps that’s because I’ve grown up in England, or perhaps I just really like cake… either way, my recent trip to Marbre Vegan was truly needed. Marbre Vegan is a 100% vegan cake cafe next to …
Making friends when you’re an adult is hard, and it’s even harder when you go to a new country! Luckily the internet is a thing – I made a fellow vegan friend in Tokyo through a Facebook group and we recently met up for the first time. We both had a craving for カレーパン (curry …
My birthday was at the end of March and I wanted to celebrate by going somewhere special- especially as we had family coming over to visit and I wanted to show them delicious traditional Japanese vegan food.

And after a busy day exploring the city, we were hungry and in need of dinner but didn’t fancy Coco’s curry that night. That’s when I found that Omiya had a ramen restaurant with one vegan option on its …
If you don’t go into the city, vegan burgers aren’t that readily available here in Japan. To be honest, even when you do go into the city, it can be difficult to find a truly decent vegan burger. Unlike back home in England where vegan burgers were the vegan options in a lot of restaurants, …
The first time I discovered ‘Komeda is’ was after I saw a picture of their famous dessert Shiro-noir and then after a little research realised that they also had strawberry sando’s too *ah, yum!* Having a massive sweet tooth I was sold and had to get myself there immediately. But after visiting ‘Komeda is’ I …
Updated! Originally written on January 7 2023 As I have mentioned in some of my posts, being vegan isn’t the easiest in Japan. So when I heard that there was a whole Izakaya in Tokyo that was 100% vegan, I had to try it! Izakayas typically are small casual bars that serve dishes and snacks …
