We had such a great time on this tour and had so much wonderful food. Hannah G. was an excellent guide! We were especially appreciative of her knowledge of vegetarian options. Also, she shared great tips on eating vegetarian as we traveled and even recommended a signature dish for the next prefecture we were headed to. And the tea surprise to finish the tour was such a special experience. Highly recommended.

Quick summary - it’s a wonderful experience and you won’t regret it! 10/10 and S+ tier If you’re a fan of Shizuka’s videos, you’ll definitely love the Harajuku tour that she’s arranged. If you’re not (yet) a fan, this is a tour that you should choose. Either way, you should bring an extra pair of socks because the tour will knock the first pair off. Jk😉 Shizuka’s entertaining, engaging, and energetic personality really stood out as she led my wife and I and another couple through parts of Harajuku along the famous Takeshita street. It’s not just a foodie tour but she gives history and cultural insights about the area and street during the (too short) four-hour tour. We had so much fun as a group eating, drinking, walking, and talking. Shizuka effortlessly led an interactive tour as she guided our group. She made sure that everyone had opportunities to engage in the activities like cooking okonomiyaki and selecting gatchapon, which made the tour much more interesting than just being led around listening to a taped or scripted tour. Shizuka shared her knowledge and experiences in Japan and gave recommendations about other foods, areas, and activities based on people’s interests and questions. We enjoy her videos on YT and her tour definitely did not disappoint. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to everyone. Time really flew because we had so much fun. We will definitely look for more tours with byFood and Shizuka on future trips to Japan.

Fantastic experience! Our guide Brian was excellent—he's lived in Japan for years and shared so much insider perspective that really enriched the tour. It was refreshing to also explore a less polished side of Japanese society. The food was delicious - both the snacks and the dinner.

Discover the Delightful World of Vegetarian Japanese Street Food

Japanese street food is renowned for its variety and innovative flavors, and now, vegetarians can delve into this exciting world with equal delight. With a focus on fresh ingredients and unique preparation methods, vegetarian Japanese street food offers a tantalizing array of options that transport your taste buds straight to the bustling streets of Japan. From savory snacks to sweet treats, there's something for every vegetarian to enjoy. This guide will introduce you to some popular vegetarian street food offerings that you can expect from these Japanese culinary experiences.

Bestselling Vegetarian Japanese Street Foods

One of the most beloved vegetarian options you will encounter is Okonomiyaki, a delicious Japanese pancake made from a batter mixed with shredded cabbage, green onions, and topped with savory sauces. This dish is versatile and can be easily customized to include a wide variety of vegetables. Another popular street food you must try is Mochi; these are chewy rice cakes that come in various sweet flavors filled with ingredients like sweet red bean paste, green tea, or even seasonal fruits.

Another tempting treat is the Yaki Imo, Japan’s iconic roasted sweet potatoes. This simple yet satisfying snack is one of the healthiest options and provides a naturally sweet flavor without any added sugars. They’re often sold from trucks that play folk music as they drive around town during the winter months.

For a savory snack, Yaki Onigiri, or grilled rice balls, are a fantastic choice. These are traditionally flavored with soy sauce and can be filled with vegetables or pickled ingredients, offering a delightful textural contrast of a crispy exterior and a soft interior.

Where to Find Vegetarian Japanese Street Food

If you’re looking to indulge in these delightful vegetarian treats, you don't have to travel all the way to Japan. Many cities around the world now host Japanese street food festivals and events where vendors replicate the authentic flavors of Japan’s streets. Look for food markets or fairs in your area, particularly ones that focus on international cuisine or Asian specialties, and you’ll likely find a selection of Japanese street food offerings, including vegetarian options.

Joining a dedicated Japanese culinary tour can also provide you with an immersive experience where you’ll not only taste but also learn about the history and culture behind each dish. These tours often feature vegetarian-friendly stops, ensuring that you can fully enjoy the diverse flavors of Japanese street food without compromising your dietary preferences.

Whether you’re an adventurous foodie eager to explore new culinary horizons or a dedicated vegetarian seeking exciting dining experiences, vegetarian Japanese street food promises a delightful and satisfying adventure. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the rich and flavorful world of Japanese cuisine through its street food offerings.
