Loved the cooking class with Midori. I am gluten intolerant, not coeliac, she was able to accommodate and made sure all food was safe. We made onigiri, gyoza and katsudon, everything was delicious! Midori San is a great host and we had a lovely chat about a lot of things including Japanese cuisine and places to visit in or around Kyoto. I can definitely recommend!

Interesting experience. Really enjoyed the first part, not a big fan of watching the challengers, but i understand where it's coming from. We left shortly after the challengers. The food was above expectations (compared with other similar experiences in Tokyo).

This was so entertaining and the food was so delicious. The sumo wrestlers actually make the food for you and one of best katsu I've ever had. The soup was so unique and also tasty. I would do this again and recommend for all ages.

We are a three-generational family attending this lunch show. Everyone loved it - it was entertaining, informative and lots of laughter. We had both deep-fried pork katsu as well as chicken and vegetable soup to go with our rice, so everyone had something they liked to eat. There was also ice-cream for dessert. However, the best thing about the experience were the gorgeous personalities of the two retired sumo wrestlers who entertained us immensely. Thank you for a great time!

Experience the Best of Japan's Vegetarian Tonkatsu

Japan is renowned for its rich culinary tradition, often featuring fresh seafood and meats; however, for vegetarians and those inclined towards plant-based diets, options are also plentiful and diverse. One such delightful experience is savoring Vegetarian Tonkatsu, a twist on the classic dish that allows vegetarians to indulge in the succulent flavors of this Japanese favorite without compromising their dietary choices. Japan's food experiences for vegetarian tonkatsu skilfully combine traditional Japanese techniques with innovative culinary creativity, making them both memorable and mouth-watering.

Why Choose Vegetarian Tonkatsu?

The classic tonkatsu is typically a deep-fried pork cutlet, flaky on the outside and tender on the inside, often paired with a flavorful sauce, shredded cabbage, and rice. In its vegetarian form, this dish is cleverly reimagined using ingredients such as tofu, tempeh, or mushrooms, which are expertly coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs. The result is a delightful, crunchy texture on the outside and a deliciously hearty filling inside. These ingredients successfully absorb the flavors of the traditional tonkatsu sauce, bringing a joyful culinary experience to every bite. Rich in taste and fulfilling, vegetarian tonkatsu is perfect for those who relish the savory and hearty flavors of Japanese cuisine while following a vegetarian diet.

From bustling urban eateries in Tokyo and Osaka to charming countryside restaurants, each venue provides a unique interpretation of this popular dish.
