A simple introduction to shoujin ryouri - Edit
Shoujin ryouri is a vegetarian cuisine originally derived from the dietary restrictions of Buddhist monks. This the cuisine served by Kamakura Fushikian.
Read moreFirst, they have a simple version of the ordering process in English. If you don't speak Japanese it can be helpful. Note, the dishes are only labelled in Japanese!
They have two main types of plates/servings available. I selected the cheaper one, and they asked me to select 3 items from the display. The other plate has more selections and a bit more expensive. They have other drinks and vegetarian sweets. Water is available, self service. The rice can be upgraded from white (standard) to brown rice at an extra cost. They have free refills of white rice and miso soup. The miso was a bit salty when I ate there.
This will definitely be my go to restaurant in Akihabara. Simple but good food!
Pros: simple and clean, good food, free rice refill
Cons: minimal English

Amazing Food - Edit
This was perfect. Easy to find, inexpensive, tasty and totally vegan. If you come out of the Electric Town exit just head along the train tracks, past the AKB48 and Gundam cafes and across the road. There is a place called Chabara and when you go in the restaurant is right in front of you with a white sign and white counter. The food is wonderful and we will definitely go back.

An oasis in Akihabara - Edit
Akibahara is the most energetic neighbourhood in Tokyo. It is buzzing with electronics, j-pop, manga, maid cafes and more. This makes Komaki Syokudo even more of an oases of health food and relaxation.
Read moreNext to Akihabara station (close to the AKB48 cafe and the Gundam cafe) is a bunch of shops (together named "Chabara") that sell health food, with some restaurants around it. It's all in one building, so look for the stores rather than a single restaurant. It is right underneath the train tracks, less than a minutes walk from Akihabara station. Komaki Syokudo is the only vegan restaurant, the other restaurants here have meat on the menu.
Komaki Syokudo basically offers two choices: one with a little of everything the kitchen has on offer, the other is a selection. I went for the selection and from the very first bite I could tell that this is excellent, healthy, well prepared food. This is the kind of food you want to eat slowly to fully enjoy it.
There was a lady sitting near me with a calculator and some books. I asked her if she was the owner of the restaurant and indeed she was. She told me her father is a buddhist and via her restaurant she can cater for his temple. She also told me many of her guests are foreigners longing for vegetarian food. The menu depends on whatever local farmers supply, so every new week means new dishes!
Pros: good food, fair prices, friendly service

Great vegan Japanese! - Edit
Komaki Shokudo is a lovely vegan oasis in the sea of junk food in Akihabara. I had the zenshurui ("all types") lunch set which includes a little of everything they have that day. At 1500yen, it is the largest set available and I had trouble finishing it. Everything was very good and portions were ample. It's actually quite difficult to find shojin-ryori (Japanese Buddhist vegetarian/vegan food) outside of a temple and at this price, it really is a rarity. Connected to the restaurant is a wonderful foods store that sells all kinds of snacks, sweets, produce, sauces/condiments, and other regional specialties from farms all over Japan. I highly suggest stopping here for lunch if you are sightseeing around Akihabara.
Read morePros: healthy, fresh Japanese vegan, ample portions, brown rice upgrade available
Cons: none really

The owner was super friendly! - Edit
The food is great and it's Shojin-ryori, traditional Japanese Buddhist vegetarian food. Definitely a must if you're in tokyo! Also very cheap and the owner was so friendly and helpful even though she only spoke a little english.
Read moreIMPORTANT: It was a bit difficult to find the place because the location on the map shows the wrong place. The location is under the railway tracks in a mall called 2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN. Address in japanese 東京都台東区上野５丁目９
If you're using the happycow app: just north from the doughnut plant at the street crossing under the railway tracks.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff

"The location is under the railway tracks in a mall called 2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN. Address in japanese 東京都台東区上野５丁目９"
Read moreThis is incorrect.
The restaurant is in CHABARA AKI-OKA MARCHE 東京都千代田区神田練塀町8-2. The 2k540 AKI-OKA ARTISAN is around meters away from this location. The map on the website and Android app is correct.
