All 26 vegan restaurants in Tokyo, mapped.

Reading a Japanese label for egg and milk

When a dedicated vegan place is not nearby, the packaging helps more than the menu. Japanese food labeling law makes a short list of allergens mandatory on packaged food, and egg (卵) and milk (乳) are both on it, so a konbini sandwich or snack will show them in the allergen table. Meat and fish sit only on the recommended list, not the mandatory one, which means a label with no egg or milk can still contain bonito, pork extract or gelatin. Treat the table as a quick way to rule things out, never as a way to rule them in.
