The food is so amazing. Very high quality and you can see how much passion the chef puts into the menu and the attention to detail and plating was magnificent. I got to try various arrangements and I really enjoyed the chefs calm and friendly manner. Highly recommend

Had such a lovely dinner at Mitaki Teppanyaki!
I tried the Suiren Course and really enjoyed the whole experience. Everything was beautifully presented, and the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The chef was also really friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable.
And… I tried wasabi for the first time and it’s not as bad as I thought!
The atmosphere was elegant but still comfortable, and it felt like a really nice place for a date night or special dinner. Definitely a memorable teppanyaki experience, and I’d love to come back again!

Such a unique dining experience at Saime! 🌿✨
Saime serves cuisine inspired by the Jomon period, an ancient era of Japan, with ingredients slowly cooked and roasted in earthenware. As a vegetarian, I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed the meal. Even something as simple as roasted pumpkin and bell peppers tasted incredibly flavourful.
And their miso paste… SO good! 😂 I basically ended up slathering it onto everything.
My absolute favourite part was the warabi mochi at the end, paired with their basil herbal tea — such a beautiful and comforting way to finish the meal.
What also stood out to me was how naturally vegetarian-friendly the cuisine is. With the Jain festival period going on right now, I immediately thought about how wonderful this place could be for people following Jain dietary preferences as well. Finding Japanese food that can be adapted to be Jain-friendly is incredibly rare, so this felt really special.

I really enjoyed dinner at Saime Restaurant. Not only was the food amazing, but the whole atmosphere was wonderful. It’s a small venue with only eight seats, and it feels like something between a restaurant and a museum.
The earthenware plates make you experience the flavors differently, and trying the vegetables separately before the main dish opens up a whole new layer of tastes.
I really enjoy how simplicity is mixed with sophistication in this place, and I would love to recommend it not only to vegetarians, but to anyone who wants to enjoy healthy cuisine.

Welcome to dining. That is: Welcome to Saime. Vegan, slow-food apostles, and allergy sufferers alike, your sanctuary is here!
I highly recommend Saime to any and all who are looking for a dining experience that harkens back to a simpler age. Being Jomon-era inspired, the earthenware slow-cooked vegetables can either speak for themselves, or be enjoyed with salt or miso. We tried the vegan set, which was prepared without the use of any oils, but they also have sets that include fish and meat, as well.
The vegetables themselves are primarily grown and picked by the staff, and the tea and dessert were also made by hand from scratch. It will be readily apparent to any discerning visitor that there is intentionality packed into each dish, from the taste, to the presentation, to the environment.
Please do yourself a favor, and book an evening at Saime.

We very much enjoyed our experience at
SAIME! The host is very kind and walks you through each course’s featured ingredient and the cooking process. Each dish is crafted with the utmost care and time!
While the dishes are simple, they pack a powerful flavor profile that harmoniously fits the miso and salt given to you as condiments.
This experience is not only allergy and vegan friendly, but it’s also a journey into the seasonal flavors of Japan. You’ll find yourself in awe of how good veggies can taste and have your curiosity peaked on how to inspire deeper, richer tastes from local ingredients.
Eating from earthenware pots with minimal utensils will leave you feeling more connected with your food.
I highly recommend this restaurant for those with food restrictions or those who want to rekindle their relationship with food.

We were seated right at the teppanyaki counter, directly in front of the grill. The room holds only a handful of seats, which makes the whole evening feel private and unhurried. The chef is warm and easy to talk to, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and every dish was delicious. A memorable evening from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Chef Makoto gave us a truly memorable evening at Teppanyaki Mitaki Akasaka. We came through a byFood reservation, and from the first course to the last, the quality of his ingredients and the skill in how he handled them made for a meal that was both delicious and remarkably well balanced. Our heartfelt thanks to Chef Makoto and the team. We recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

An unassuming entrance that is genuinely hard to find, but a warm welcome the moment you step inside. Chef Makoto's technique and timing were remarkable throughout. The sesame tofu converted me on a dish I usually skip, and the Daisen chicken soup was outstanding, with real depth and a lovely thyme aroma. The tasting menu flowed beautifully from course to course, and the chef walked us through each local ingredient before it hit the plate. Good soft drink options too. Thank you to Chef Makoto and the byFood team.

We had the best tempura meal we’ve ever had. Everything was prepared and seasoned perfectly. The batter was not what we would have expected and was light and complimented each course well. The fruit drinks were delicious. We enjoyed our conversation with the chef as well. As soon as we were done I told my friend who would be visiting Tokyo soon this was a must try meal. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Alternatively, you could always reserve a Tokyo vegan restaurant by using a service that helps foreigners to make reservations online. A great option we suggest is reserving on byFood. Our platform allows customers to filter restaurants by meal type or dietary restriction, such as vegan restaurants. Easily find available vegan restaurants and choose one you want to reserve on the platform. All you have to do is enter your reservation details. Once entered, the reservation will be made on your behalf through byFood and a confirmation email will be sent to you. However, in the event that the reservation was unsuccessful, you will receive a failed reservation email to notify you.
Is a reservation required for vegan restaurants in Tokyo?
Many vegan restaurants in Tokyo do not require a reservation, however some higher-end vegan restaurants do. This depends on the restaurant itself.
What is the average cost of a meal at vegan restaurants in Tokyo?
There are plenty of cheap vegan restaurants in Tokyo offering a standard vegan meal for under 1000 yen, though it depends on the restaurant. 1500 yen is the average cost of a meal. You can expect to pay somewhere around 3000 yen for a more upscale vegan meal, or more if you are going for high-class dining.
Vegan Restaurants in Tokyo
There are plenty of vegan restaurant options available in Japan’s capital, where many Japanese food meals are inherently plant-based, like seaweed dishes and traditional wagashi sweets. Vegan restaurants in Tokyo hold a variety of delicious culinary surprises which are made up of meat-free menus made entirely without animal products. You can enjoy vegan ramen and gyoza at tiny restaurants in the big city’s backstreets, or a vegan kaiseki dining experience feast created and served in a traditional Japanese restaurant. Maybe you are after a meal using fresh plant-based ingredients to cleanse from all of the delicious yakitori chicken sticks and morish gyudon beef bowls you have been eating while exploring on the go? Whether it be at a high-class izakaya or a local vegan cafe, Tokyo vegan restaurants guarantee delicious plant-based menus with unique vegan dining experiences.
Plant-based travelers visiting Japan might feel concerned about the availability of vegan food options in Japan if they don't speak the language or can’t read Japanese menus. If you are worried about what you can and can’t eat in Japan due to your plant-based lifestyle, don’t stress. You can enjoy some of the best vegan food in Tokyo without worrying about what's on the menu by reserving your seat ahead of time at a vegan and vegetarian restaurant in Tokyo. Many typical Japanese food dishes can hide a lot of hidden fishy ingredients or meat elements, however that does not always have to be the case. Tokyo vegan restaurants specialize in menus that cater to plant-based dietary requirements, and they’re cruelty free and sustainable!
Enjoy a delicious plant-based feast, tasting crispy vegetable tempura, salty miso-based ramen, and sumptuous silken tofu at a tofu restaurant in Tokyo. You might be surprised at the rich umami flavors that can be extracted from plant-based ingredients like shiitake mushrooms and kombu (kelp). Discover the delicious vegan Japanese cuisine that’s available in the thriving city and reserve your table at a Tokyo vegan restaurant before you go.
