As we know there are many students in Tokyo who are either vegetarian or vegan, we listed a few of the most popular vegan places and restaurants in Tokyo!

Being vegan in Tokyo might seem tricky, but there are plenty of food options in the Tokyo area, either all vegan restaurants or vegan-friendly.

WESTERN:

Ain Soph Ripple
Shinjuku-ku Kabuki-cho 2-46-8 Nissho Building 1F
Kabukicho/Shinjuku near Seibu Shinjuku station north exit.

There are several branches, and this one is said to be the most popular and casual. The food is western-style and they offer salads, burgers and burritos as well as a few desserts. They have an English menu.

Falafel brothers
1F Kadogan Bldg, 5-1-10 Roppongi, Minato

Again, this sandwich shop has several branches in Tokyo and offers middle eastern/ Israeli food.
There are 3 shops now:
