Sougo - Minato-ku

Shojin-ryori. try the Zen selection: vegan. they make their own plumen wine, and their bean tea is exquisite.

Had a great night here last night. we went in and had a place at the bar. vegan tasting menu was next to the vegetarian version, no need to reserve. eating is beautifully presented and we could taste dishes that we would normally never taste. the server describe each dish in detail how it is served. most dishes were delicious, but there were two I didn't like. but that was more personal preference instead of cooking any problem. definitely worth a visit in tokio!

In any case, yes, but worth it. delicious eating in a stylish presentation. make sure to specify vegan when booking.

Sougo is expensive but worth it for a special dining experience. You can sit secluded at a table, or at the counter to watch the chefs preparing each course. Vegan set menu is 10,000 yen at dinner. Took us a while to find the place: it’s 3rd floor above a Family Mart, with the lift entrance to the right.

The restaurant was very hard to find as it was not on the ground floor. Once inside, the staff was formal and unfriendly. The chef in particular was very stiff and offered no insight into the food he was preparing. We were sitting at the counter right in front of him. We wanted to try something different and this was very different! It was good and abundant. But very expensive.
