Vegan sushi and okonomiyaki night walk in Shibuya

Vegan sushi, local okonomiyaki, and a Shibuya night with a guide.

Why we picked it

Most food tours in Tokyo skip vegan options or serve them at chain restaurants. This one is run by a local guide who takes you to real Shibuya spots, a sushi place and an okonomiyaki joint, that make plant-based versions of classic dishes. The small group and guide's commentary turn a meal into a walk through the neighborhood's food culture.

What you'll do

You explore Shibuya's food scene with a local guide, eating vegan sushi and okonomiyaki at small restaurants. The tour ends with a drink at a bar, and you get photos of the night.

You meet your guide in front of Shibuya TSUTAYA, the iconic bookstore at the crossing. From there you walk through the neon-lit streets to a local restaurant for vegan sushi, a full dinner set with plant-based rolls and a side dish. Next comes okonomiyaki, the savory Japanese pancake, made vegan at a second spot. Along the way the guide explains the food culture and points out landmarks. The tour finishes at a bar for a drink, alcohol or non-alcohol, and you can stay on afterward if you like. Your guide takes photos during the evening and emails them to you after.

The pace is easy, mostly walking between stops a few blocks apart. It suits vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free eaters, just note your preference when booking. The group is small, so you get direct conversation with the guide. If you want regular sushi or seafood, those options are available too.
