Vegetablian Tokyo 33 - Himawari Sushi Shinjuku

Our favorite kaiten sushi restaurant in Shinjuku is called ひまわり寿司 (himawari sushi). It takes about 5 minutes to walk there from Shinjuku west exit.
All vegetarian options are marked (also in english) and cost 150¥ per plate. They are delicious! For vegans there is Oshinko (raddish), Ume-Shiso (japanese plum and leaf), Cucumber-Shiso, Kanpyo (type of gourd), Cucumber, Roasted Corn Sashimi (this one is 200¥) and Inari (rice in tofu bags). Our favorites are Oshinko and Umo-Shiso. If you don't know the taste of the shiso leaf you should definitely try it! Not everyone loves it though, because it's very special :).

The staff is also very friendly and during lunchtime you can also get beer for only 200¥ :) !

Vegetablian Kyoto 1 - Vegan Soy Milk Ramen at Mamezen

If you are in Kyoto you should definitely check out Mamezen (豆禅), a ramen restaurant that serves vegan and vegetarian soy milk ramen! You can chose between a soy meat or mushroom ramen. It is really delicious, but you need to remember to tell the waiter that you are vegan/vegetarian and ask to leave out the fishflakes (katsuo)!
Depending on the size you chose, the ramen costs between 850 and 1050¥.

Vegetablian Tokyo 31 - Vegan Taco Rice in Kichijoji

We went to a restaurant in Kichijoji's Harmonica Yokocho called Quina (クイナ) and it was the first time we found vegan taco rice in Tokyo. Taco Rice is a meal from Okinawa which is normally beef and salat on a rice base topped with a hot tomato sauce. At Quina though you can chose an option with beans instead of beef (ベジビーンズ). It was really delicious and worth the 780¥!
