Our mission is to make vegan and vegetarian dining in Japan easy to find, accessible, and celebrated, while supporting small, independent restaurants that are striving to make a difference.

This journey began simply: friends and family would often ask me where they could find good vegan or vegetarian food in Japan. Over time, I realized just how challenging it could be for people, whether locals or travelers to navigate the plant-based dining scene here. Many wonderful cafés, restaurants, and bakeries were hidden away, run by passionate owners creating amazing food, yet struggling to be discovered.

I wanted to change that. This directory was born from a desire to shine a light on these establishments, giving them greater visibility while making it effortless for anyone to find delicious, plant-based options wherever they are in Japan. It’s more than just a restaurant list, it’s a growing community that celebrates sustainable, compassionate dining and the people behind it.

Through this platform, I hope to connect food lovers with the heart and soul of Japan’s vegan and vegetarian culture, inspiring more people to support mindful eating and helping small businesses thrive.
