Where the concierge points people first
- アインソフ ギンザ — Ain Soph. Ginza, the Ginza branch of a small Tokyo group that cooks entirely vegan. A reliable answer when a mixed group needs somewhere nobody has to interrogate the menu. (35.6701, 139.7679)
- Mominoki House — A long-standing macrobiotic and plant-based restaurant in the backstreets of Harajuku, older than most of the boutiques around it. Brown rice, vegetables and a menu that marks what is vegan. (35.6726, 139.7098)
- Gopinatha — A small Indian vegetarian place in Nakano, a few stops west of Shinjuku. Worth the short ride for curry and thali that are meat-free by default rather than by request. (35.7070, 139.6703)

Dashi is the thing to ask about
Nearly every savoury Japanese dish, from miso soup to udon broth to simmered vegetables, starts with dashi, a stock usually made with katsuobushi, dried bonito flakes. A dish that looks entirely vegetable can be fish-based, and staff may not think to mention it. That is why a full list matters more than a top three here: the places on this map are ones where you do not have to ask. The traditional exception is shōjin ryōri, the Buddhist temple cuisine, which uses kombu and shiitake stock instead.
