My experience at TOHAKU Chakan was truly unforgettable! It beautifully blends in to cultural immersion with culinary delight, set against stunning artworks, including reproduced fusuma paintings by Edo-period master Maruyama Okyo as a backdrop in the cafe. The multi-tiered food boxes were exquisite works of art, making me feel deeply immersed in Japanese culture. The serene atmosphere and knowledgeable staff guided us through a calming tea ceremony. Overall, it was a delightful experience that allowed me to appreciate the nuances of matcha and cuisine while connecting with Japan’s rich heritage. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to enhance their visit to the museum!

Sumo Wrestler Challenge and Lunch in Tokyo
Dining Experiences
I had an amazing time at the sumo experience and highly recommend it to groups of friends or families with older children. From the moment we stepped into the room, I was captivated by the inviting ambiance and the warmth of the people there. The American host provided a fascinating and detailed explanation of sumo history, sharing many interesting facts that enriched the experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with the fried chicken being a standout. It was fantastic that we could enjoy as many pieces as we wanted. We also loved interacting with the geisha and taking pictures with her—it was a unique and memorable experience. My favorite part, however, was watching the sumo fighters. They were very entertaining and put in a great effort to ensure we had a good time. I would definitely love to return for another wonderful experience.

Vegetarian Dining Experiences in Japan

In a country as convenient and efficient as Japan (with 24/7 convenience stores located on every street), you would think that Japan has it all! But if you're a vegetarian in Japan, you might be faced with the challenges of finding something you can eat at restaurants, shops, and even the ready-made food aisles of supermarkets. Bento boxes usually include fish or meat products, and even miso soup is usually made with a fish-based dashi broth. But while it is important to be aware that Japanese cuisine relies heavily on the fishing industry (as should be expected of an archipelago surrounded by abundant waters), it is by no means impossible to find vegetarian food in Japan.

Don’t worry about invisible meat or fish ingredients! Find out what’s for dinner (or lunch) by browsing these vegetarian dining experiences in Japan. Restaurants in Japan are becoming more and more accommodating to those with dietary restrictions like vegetarianism. So why not show your support for vegetarian restaurants in Japan and chefs who are striving to provide plant-based meals to guests from abroad! Join a vegetarian dining experience in Japan, right here on byFood.
