Very tasty

We were a bit hesitant to go here, given earlier reviews, but given the number of vegan options on happy cow in the area, we wanted to give it a try. We were not dissapointed. We had some sort of soy bean balls and the noodles with tempura, both were delicious and reasonably prices. They spoke decent English and gave us tea.

NOT vegan - they use the same oil

They have many options that use a vegan broth HOWEVER he explained that they use the same oil as they use for the meat and that they are not a vegan/vegetarian restaurant.

Cons: Not 100% vegan

Very tasty! Multiple options to choose from.

Multiple vegan options to choose from - for 1200 JPY I've had zaru soba set with hot vegan broth and cooked to perfection tempura vegetables.
Will visit again!

Save the fish!

A lot of Buddhist cuisine restaurants in Japan will not prepare vegan food because they think that bonito is absolutely necessary for the taste, but this restaurant proves that they are wrong! Shiitake and kelp give a lot more taste than you need! Nobody will be dissatisfied with the taste. A great place for vegan Japanese cuisine without harming fish!

Pros: Many vegan options!, They have increased the vegan options!, The set meal is nice!

Cons: Should put the veg menu outside the rest. as well., Should stop serving meat. , Should use more vegetables.

Enjoy the experience

Things are slowly changing in Japan. Vegan restaurants were always popular, but traditional restaurants simply ignored vegan or vegetarian guests. Up to now! Recently, ramen restaurants started offering vegan options and now Tateshinaan offers traditional soba dishes for vegans.

Soba restaurants are everywhere in Japan and the meals are almost vegan. Soba are noodles. When served cold, they come with a cup of dipping sauce. When served hot, they are served in a hot soup. In either case: fish broth is used to flavour and this is the main problem for vegans or vegetarians. Tateshinaan simply replaced the fish broth by seaweed and mushroom broth. The taste is almost the same as the fish broth, so everyone can now enjoy traditional Japanese soba.

We tried both the hot and cold set. The hot set comes with vegetable tempura and some pickled greens. The cold set comes with a little salad and might be a bit healthier. Both tasted exactly as they should.

The first page of the menu clearly lists the vegan options. Prices are average for a soba restaurant. Nothing remarkable, except for the fact that vegans are now welcome! Enjoy your Japanese experience!

Pros: genuine Japanese soba, convenient location, reasonable prices

It was nice to have this meal with you!

I also forgot to mention that many restaurants use eggs for the tempura as well.
