《About Vegan Sushi Tokyo》

Located just 2 minutes from Shibuya PARCO — we are Tokyo's first vegan sushi restaurant

Founded by three young Japanese vegans (late 20s to early 30s), our shop is at the forefront of Japan's inbound dining scene.

Google Map:

In just 1 year, we've earned 450+ reviews and a 4.9★ rating on Google

We're loved by travelers from around the world.

Many vegan visitors to Japan struggle to find plant-based food. That's why we started this place — to create a warm, welcoming spot where everyone can enjoy authentic Japanese sushi, 100% vegan.

We're starting with one shop in Tokyo — and aiming to go global.
