The best vegan experience in Tokyo!

We tried the Gyoza set plate, and that was such a fun experience! They were delicious and so beautiful! The weather was cold, but the restaurant was so nice and cozy with the heaters!

A flavour exploration

I had a great meal.

The beer was delightful, with a selection of craft beers.

The 11 flavour tasting set was the highlight and an awesome way to experience the different flavours and to discover some favourites.

Our top 3 were kimchi, ginger miso, and green onion miso.

Pros: Exciting way to sample, Great textures, Great craft beers

this is my mecca

I came to Japan for two things and two things only this month…my beloved friend’s wedding and to taste these dumplings…not necessarily ordered in importance. Within this safe space (happycow) I feel brave enough to say that unfortunately vegan food can be a miss in Japan (the tyranny of the gluten free cafes) so while I’m usually enjoying myself, there are maybe only like three places where I’m BLOWN away and this is one of them (other one is marbre vegan and 2foods is also a reliable basic) and this one is by far my favorite. The dumpling skin has that nice thick handmade texture (they make the dumplings fresh every morning), and will make you full pretty quickly. The filling is fragrant and the definition of mouth watering, exploding in savory juices. I’m a green onion dumpling truther but the shiitake and kimchi are also amazing. And if you’re not a picky eating child like me you should actually just get the set that has all the different types (again, the dumplings are super filling so come hungry).

Amazing Gyozas

We have taken the gyoza mix, one steamed, one fried, to share.
They are not accompanied by rice or soy sauce, which is fine because the quantity is sufficient (11 gyozas) and the tastes so different, fine and studied that a sauce would spoil them.
Best gyozas ever :)

Favorite restaurant in Tokyo

The gyoza are incredibly delicious!!! They differ from traditional gyoza because they are larger and have several different fillings available. The different flavors are spectacular and made in house! This is the one restaurant I tell everyone not to miss. It’s located in a residential area, so be aware of that so you don’t think you’re lost. The black gyoza are my favorite!!!!!

We loved it!

There are lots of gyoza to choose from and they were all packed with flavour. I especially enjoyed the garlic, the chive, the ginger, and the eggplant… oh whose kidding I liked them all.

Pros: Yum, Friendly staff

Incredible selection

Having tried every flavour of gyoza (steamed) on the menu I can happily say this was the best gyoza I've ever had. With the amount of flavours you might not expect much variation but every flavour was unique and impactful - I definitely recommend trying the full course to find your favourite!
The owner was also very friendly and the restaurant is located in a nice little residential spot not too far from Ueno.

Pros: Flavours, Service, Ambiance

Absolutely fantastic

The absolute best meal we had in Tokyo, hands down. Every flavour was interesting, even the ones I typically don’t enjoy were outstanding.

Edit: it was so good I was craving it three weeks later so we went back again, it was almost better the second time around. Just so so SO good. Thank you!

Best gyozas!! 🥟

Went back in May and just wow, these were the best gyozas I’ve ever tasted so far! Wide variety of flavours, colourful, and overall very satisfying. And the matcha drinks? My sister and I ordered two sets of them cause they were that good haha they also had a variety of matcha mixes so you can choose which one suits your palate😄Please go there if you ever visit Tokyo, Japan!
