How to survive as a vegetarian on holiday in Tokyo, Japan.
Before I first went to Tokyo I was really worried about whether there’d be vegetarian food, because I’d read so many stories on the internet about everything containing fish. So I’ve made this video to share my experiences of being vegetarian in Japan, to share what it was like for me, with a few tips and Japanese phrases to help you survive.
I really hope you find it useful – if you have any questions just put them in the comments!

Thank you for this helpful video, I'm so pleased you were able to post this before my trip too! I really appreciate the effort you go to to make our lives easier haha ๐
We need a shared map where all the vegetarian/vegan Restaurants are pointed in Tokyo. Is something like that already excisting? :3
Oh and thanks for the Video btw thumbsup
Thank you for making this video. I also don't eat meat or fish just because I don't like the taste!
Going to Tokyo this week, can't wait ๐

I loved milan nataraj in shibuya. best indian food I ever had in my life. they also have a location ometesando/harajuku area. I went to t's tantan and I didnt enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
Hi, I am a Japanese who teaches English at college in Tokyo. The textbook that we are using in the class contains the topic of being a vegetarian so I would like to use this video for helping students understand how vegetarians live in Tokyo. Which is going to be a great help, thank you!
Problem would be more doing a homestay in Japan and expect that they cook a special vegetarian meals only for you.
you can't see the dashi so it's vegetarian lol
One more thing…i just like…SAY NO TO KNIFE…๐๐๐๐
Its proud …as ur vegan…me too…and very happy to be vegan…
As an update – a lot of the onigiri at the convenience stores are now labeled in English so, choosing the one you want is easier ๐
I want to go to Japan when Iโm older and thats one thing I always worried about because Japanese people tend to eat much fish.
Thanks for this detailed video, it helped me a lot :3
That's a great video! Nice tips๐!
most of japan's veggie burgers that i've seen in videos, have been portobello mushroom burgers, so i was wondering if one could easily find veggie burgers without mushrooms, and what might be the best places to find those? or do they all have options besides mushrooms?
I don't know if the CoCo Curry sauce is Veg….I mean if You're pretty strict vegetarian even eating the vegetable sushi it is being cut in the same area/knife as fish….same with the Okonomiyakibeing cooked in the same space so You will absorb some meat residue…Just a heads up if You're by the book ie 100% honest with Yourself
You can try cafeterias at universities, too. They have some special menus for international students. I work at the university in south part of Japan, that's pretty far from Tokyo, very country side, but they even serve halal meat. and usually price is pretty good.
Really enjoyed your video. If you go to Kyoto try Biotei its a great little vegetarian restaurant
