A vegan Japanese diner near Shinsaibashi serving tofu karaage, seaweed-stock ramen, and a changing obanzai set. The dashi is kombu-only; no fish, no bonito.
TipThe obanzai set changes daily; the tofu karaage rivals the chicken version in crunch.
Osaka's longest-running vegan restaurant, serving brown-rice teishoku, tempeh burgers, and house-fermented hatcho miso soup; no hidden fish-stock products.
TipThe brown rice teishoku is the anchor dish; arrive before 12:30 or expect a short queue.
An additive-free wagashi specialist making daifuku from glutinous rice and azuki bean paste with no animal products; seasonal flavours are naturally vegan.
TipConfirm vegan status for each seasonal flavour as occasional cream-based specials appear.
Fully plant-based and therefore fully vegetarian; the dashi uses kombu only. The changing obanzai set is a reliable vegetarian lunch in central Osaka.
TipThe menu has no meat, fish, or dairy and is good for vegans; the obanzai set is fully plant-based and changes each weekday.
All dishes at Green Earth are vegetarian and vegan; the brown-rice teishoku and tempeh burger are the most filling vegetarian options in central Osaka.
TipThe house miso soup is made from hatcho miso and kombu; no bonito or fish products.
A teppan restaurant serving gluten-free okonomiyaki on request, using rice-flour batter with nagaimo yam and pork belly; call ahead to confirm stock.
