I paid 1700¥ for a large okonomiyaki and 2 alcoholic drinks.

Not everything's vegan but the staff adapts one of them. The base is only flour (in a lot of places is flour and egg). Very good option read more Not everything's vegan but the staff adapts one of them. The base is only flour (in a lot of places is flour and egg). Very good option

Take the lift up and go round the corner, the sign is in English and Japanese so it's easy to find. Our food here was great and it was really nice to get a proper Okonomiyaki bar experience. The owner spoke enough English that I would be confident you could order a vegan meal in English. We speak some japanese and mostly ordered in Japanese on our trip. There were a few ingredients that the owner double-checked with us that was appreciated. Additionally, he used seperate tools for our meal compared to the meat and cooked them at other ends of the grill. If you're very strict about cross contamination then be aware everything is cooked on one big teppanyaki grill. I personally didn't mind this as our food was still seperate but just a heads up if this will bother you. Personally, I am vegetarian so my meal had cheese and egg. Flavour was great and I really enjoyed it. My partner is vegan and had an appropriate version, she also enjoyed hers.

But the cook used a special vegetarian dough and made me adapt the toppings. If you want to avoid cross-contamination (see below) just ask that it be served on a dish instead of grill. He used separate spatulas for the Veggie.
