Good spot tucked away in a small mall - Edit
Small restaurant within Chabara Mall near train line. It’s right beside a food market and coffee shop. The menu was fully vegan with a good amount of Japanese style dishes. We got the vegan “chicken” karage and the udon noodle soup sets. Both good. My only negative remark was that it was quite pricey for the amount provided comparing to other restaurants.

I really loved this place - Edit
I had the karaage teishoku, which was very nice. The waitress was lovely and the restaurant offers a serene break from bustling akihabara.

Cozy restaurant with tasty food - Edit
We ordered the Karaage set and Kitsune Udon. The Karaage set is diverse and offers several tasty side dishes. The Karaage itself is soft but a bit on the blander side, the sauce definitely compensates for it.
Read moreThe Kitsune Udon is very tasty and it was a perfect meal after a long trip. The tofu in it is sweet (which was a surprise to us), but pairs well with everything else.
The only downside is that it is a bit pricey though.
Pros: Fully vegan, Very polite staff
Cons: Pricey

Overrated - Edit
In my opinion, too expensive for the food we got. Sure you get multiple little dishes but none of them was anything special besides the karaage. They raised the prices from the pictures in google maps and we didn't expect to pay that much. One time and no more.
Read morePros: Karaage
Cons: Expensive, No toilet inside restaurant

A hidden gem - Edit
Stumbled across Komaki Shokudo one evening and we were fortunate enough to get a table without a reservation. The food was delicious and filling, and we'd love to go back.
Read moreThe atmosphere feels a little unusual, with everyone sat in almost complete silence but this made a welcome change to the busy-ness of the outside.

Nice little tasty place - Edit
Nice little restaurant with friendly staff. We tried two different menus, and both were delicious, though the one with the fried soy was particularly good—better than the other, in our opinion. We visited when it was quite empty, so it was comfortable and spacious. The restaurant is located in the ground floor of a shopping mall.

Beautiful and tasty - Edit
Choice of sets, all vegan and in the Buddhist style. Absolute lifesaver for two very tired vegans on their travels! The cafe is tucked in the back corner of a little shopping complex under the railway lines just up from Akibaura station. Turn right as you enter and walk through to the end. Offers ryori shohin sets starting from 1950JPY.

Disappointing - Edit
Summary: looking for vegan shojin ryori? Go somewhere else, anywhere, this is expensive and basic. All other vegan places are worth more. (Also if you are gluten free this is only offering you a boring curry, go anywhere else)..
Read moreContext: I've been coming to this place for 8 years, it's up and down, but recently it's mostly disappointing. The food is absolutely not worth the price (this place costs close to 10000 yen for two) and it's quality is below any other shojin ryori offering vegan in Tokyo.
If you are gluten free: absolutely forget this place and don't be tricked by their reservation form, after all that hassle, you will arrive and the options are a curry and that's exactly the same that would happen if you just come unannounced (I've done both). Again, disappointing food, disappointing behavior with reservations and accomodations, extremely expensive for what it is.
Cons: Unprofessional, Food quality varies a lot

Level 5 Vegan Food! - Edit
From the “Atre” exit of Akihabara follow the train track, it’s located under the tracks, there’s a hidden food court area called “Chabara”.
Read moreWow what a find! Shojin Ryori in Akihabara?!
I actually learned about this place when I attended a Buddhist Cuisine lesson in Kamakura, the sensei told us about it via a Japanese TV show that did a special about it.
I can see why, it’s amazing! All vegan all delicious!
This is Shojin Ryori, ultra strict Buddhist cuisine, normally restricted to Kyoto, do t miss it!!
Pros: Fried tofu, Fried vegan chicken , Authenticity

Great food - Edit
We couldn't get a seat in the evening without a reservation, so we tried our luck at lunch the day after and it worked. The menu is not exactly the same but we had a set menu and the food was utterly delicious. There is a lot of love in the making of the dishes and we found the price to be more than fine. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed, too. A definite yes if you are in the area.

Delicious matcha cake - Edit
I had already eaten so I went there to have some chill time away from the crowded streets of Akihabara.
Read moreAnd then there was the cake…😜
Due to lack of much space you can‘t just sit and drink something, you have to order a dish. The cake was small and a bit pricy but delicious (very strong matcha taste).
Pros: Cozy little place, Nice food, Nice staff
