6. Non's Izakaya, Meguro: For Dan's goodbye dinner we went to a vegan izakaya so that everyone could enjoy the food! It's not easy to find a vegan place that also serves alcohol, let alone izakaya dishes but this was a good find. The restaurant is run by Non, just one woman who cooks and buses and cleans. Service ends up being pretty slow, but if you're with a group of people, time passes pretty quickly. We ordered so many dishes -- I felt bad the whole time because she was scampering around making our food and bussing our dishes.
Oh -- for the record, the dessert was not very good, so don't order it.
Vegan gyoza!
Squid 'sashimi' with natto: amazing! Really tasted like squid! And I have developed quite a liking for natto.
Chicken kara-age: deep-fried 'chicken', tastes like the real thing!
Korean pancake 'chigimi': I don't like the Japanese version as much. It's not as crisp, much more of a mochi consistency.
Soymilk broth noodles: yum! This was our favorite dish. It's so flavorful and full of goodies in that pot. My new favorite broth is the soymilk broth. :)
Tempura
'Om-rice: fake 'omelet' over rice. Our friend was so excited to have fake egg!
7. Vegan Healing Cafe, Shibuya: I didn't actually eat here because the menu looks very boring to me, but I did want to try their desserts. Below are their soy whip cake and their chocolate tart. Both are quite good.
8. Loving Hut, Yotsuya-sanchome stop: On my last day in Tokyo, I tried this place for lunch. Wish I had found out about it earlier! I had the most delicious set lunch for only $10! Everything was meticulously prepared, and the restaurant was clean and cute, if a bit sparse.
I had vegetable dumplings, great sweet and sour soup, a slice of quiche, summer rolls, vermicelli salad, some other side dish, and a slice of cake for dessert!
