Spend two hours tasting four mini bowls of vegan ramen at two Tokyo shops, one focused on Hokkaido-style ramen and the other on Tokyo tsukemen. Your English-speaking guide explains ramen’s regional roots, takes you by train from Shibuya to Shinjuku, and can arrange non-vegan broth or gluten-free noodles when available.

“We enjoyed our ramen tour immensely. We did our tour on the same day that we arrived on a red-eye overnight flight, and the tour was the perfect way to try some delicious ramen flavors and get more familiar with the neighborhood. Thanks Sahori!”

2.Shibuya Tokyo: Sushi Making Class (Vegan/Vegetarian/Halal)

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 29 reviews · 1h 30m · from $58Best value

In central Shibuya, you’ll learn to make California rolls and nigiri with English-speaking instructors such as Momoyo and Kaito. A short sushi-history quiz starts the class, followed by hands-on work with fresh vegetables, rice, and sushi tools. Choose vegan, vegetarian, halal, or gluten-free options in advance, then eat what you make.

“I had a lovely cooking session with two sweet young Japanese women who made me very comfortable and taught me about vegan sushi making. It was a beautiful, clean and lovely space to work in and after I learned and created my food, I got to eat it. It was delicious! I highly recommend this experience, especially for a vegan in Japan!”
