Delightful Vegan Treats!

I tried all of their vegan taiyaki, drinks, and mochi, and I really enjoyed them. The flavors are rich and authentic, making for a truly satisfying experience. Some of the mochi were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they might be perfect for you😄

The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious vegan Japanese treats.

Pros: vegan cheese tayaki!!!

Cons: non-vegan place

Lovely Japanese dessert place

Authentic choice of Japanase desserts and teas. I had Matcha tea with oat milk which was incredibly delicious, the best one I had so far.

Japanische Spezialitäten

Wir hatten das Mango-Eis und die fischförmige Waffel mit Adzuki-Bohnen. Beides vegan, beides ganz besonders und köstlich!

Good but underwhelming

Interesting to try and experience but probably won’t go there again.

Nice dessert place

We went here to try the Kakigori and while it was good, we were not very impressed. The raspberry syrup was delicious, but overall the Kakigori looked better than it tasted.
The Mochi was tasty but a little too sweet.
Overall the quality of the ingredients seems to be very high, but that also leads to prices leaning on the higher side.
I would recommend going here on a hot day to try the Kakigori!

Pros: High quality of ingredients, Unique options, Many vegan options

Cons: A little pricey, Kakigori looks better than it tastes

Excellent

I had the vegan Uji Kintoki and Anmitsu. Both were delicious, I‘ll come back to try more sweets:)

My favourite desert shop in the world

The Japanese temple of fluffy, shaved ice with toppings which melt into your mouth like liquid gold. The owners don't make any compromises in quality - everything they offer is a revelation in Japanese cuisine. Fortunately, the vegan dishes don't need to hide as they are crafted with care and were perfected throughout the years.

Additionally to deserts they offer vegan bento boxes in the tradition of Japanese mothers.

My girlfriend and I regularly go to Tenzan Lab to enjoy the vegan waffle of the day (Taiyaki), heartwarming teas, expressive mochi tastings or shaved Kakigori ice. Every time I have a kakigori I think - ok, I already know it. It won't surprise - however, each time the tastes explode like a firework and just leaving me with a woooow.

Pros: Japanese, umami, heaven

extraordinary sweets

I hadn’t seen Taiyaki or shaved ice anywhere in Germany, not to mention vegan options for those. I saw Tenzan Lab's creations on Instagram and was so hyped about visiting on my next trip to Berlin.

Now, December might not be the best month for ice, but I couldn’t miss this. I had the Hojicha Kakigori with vegan condensed milk (homemade from soy and coconut milk), fresh mochi, anko and green tea syrup. The texture is very interesting - the ice more or less disappears on your tongue. The flavor combination is a classic Japanese one, but you could order more simple versions of the dessert as well, choosing from an array of toppings.

I also ordered some Taiyaki, which were baked fresh for me. The menu lists only one vegan Taiyaki - an anko filled one, but of the daily specials two kinds were vegan, a regular custard and a matcha custard.

I enjoyed everything I ordered.

Half of the restaurant is taken up by the bar, where you can sit and watch the ice being shaved. But if you’re visiting with many people you could sit at the long table at the back.

With my meal I was served cold barley tea, like you would if you were visiting a friends home in Japan, as I was told by the owner.

On the menu all vegan options are marked. Taiyaki and Mochi are available for take-out.
