Sasanoyuki - Tokyo

The set menu is NOT able to get vegan. But after lots of try to understand each other, with notes in Japanese about what I can eat and some words (they don’t speak any English) I was able to get the cold tofu with sides and rice and fried tofu. A little sad that I couldn’t try more sorts but the tofu where amazing!

There is meat in some dishes. Most dishes have Dashi(fish flakes). Use translator to tell them you want the Tofu dishes without meat or dashi

The different textures, flavours and styles of tofu on the menu made this place well worth a visit. It 's a more traditional restaurant than others we visited which was a nice experience. It also meant the staff were a little less sure of English. There is an English menu but it wasn’t always clear what to expect. One of us tried a few a la carte dishes, the other had a tasting menu. We mentioned that we were vegan in case there were fish flakes etc, but we weren 't convince our waitress fully understood (we speak a little Japanese so didn’t just shout 'vegan ' at her! . That said there was only one element on one of the 8 dishes which we thought may have involved meat or fish. And about those dishes.... They were great. Traditional Japanese flavours and tofu in fresh blocks, made into dumplings, dried and powdered, jellied... Everything tasted lovely.

I would recommend having a certain level of Japanese skills when they go here to ensure that their needs are met. realistically, this restaurant fits best to pescatarians as it is difficult to know what has or not fish broth / dashi. the dishes are absolutely fantastic, with the eight course dinner set is a very special experience. the personal is very friendly and professional. side: they have to take off their shoes when entering this restaurant, so wear them with their shoes or bring them with them.
