Only 2 plain vegan options - Edit
The onigiri was nice and the staff friendly, but when I visited they only had 2 vegan options, plain White Rice with a bit of sesame and plain Brown Rice with sesame. They were clearly labelled as vegan. The other vegan options from their website weren't offered and not labelled. The size was very big and they weren't bad, but since they were only the plain versions without any filling, they weren't special.

Be CAREFUL when ordering - Edit
The first time I went in, I asked what was vegan and the person at the counter seemed to clearly understand what I could and couldn't eat. I even specified (in both English and Japanese) that I don't eat fish or dashi. She gave me a few different options. I returned later that afternoon for another snack and asked someone else to confirm what was vegan. She checked the allergens menu and told me that I what I ate earlier was NOT vegan and contained dashi.
Read moreThey do have vegan options here, but if you come I would be sure to ask for the allergen menu. The sesame mustard greens, plum, and miso rice balls are *NOT* vegan, contrary to what other reviews here say. It's possible they've updated their recipes over the past few years.
It seems like the allergen menu may also available on their website: https://www.omusubi-gonbei.com/menu/allergy/
Pros: Has an allergen menu
Cons: Some staff gave incorrect info about vegan options

Nice place for a quick meal - Edit
This shop is located super close to the station. Vegan options are the miso, plum and sesame vegetables rice balls. There may be more depending on the season. The croquets are vegetarian as they contain egg.
