Ain Soph. Journey Shinjuku

Arrived during late lunch, and the restaurant seemed almost full. We were escorted to our seat, but no menu was provided. We had to ask the staff to provide us with the menu. After ordering, for about 20 to 30 minutes, our food came. However, our tea (which comes with the set) did not. We had to ask for it again. The soup was great, but I didn't like the rice.

This is the second time we have visited Ain Soph. The food is fantastic! So delicious and so fresh! The pancakes are most eat dish! The kitchen might be a little bit slow, but it is worth it. You have to order place online using the website. Otherwise, you probably can't make it into the restaurant. There are a few more branches in Tokyo in case there are no available places here.

This vegan restaurant has good mood lighting, great presentation and amazing dessert. The perfect place to bring a date! I think the Hayashi rice really benefits from the added katsu, but I don't think it was my kinda thing The nutty dry curry was my favourite main, I'd definitely recommend it. The texture and flavour is a nice break from the ordinary. The karaage was pretty good too, it would be nice if they mixed it up a little and added something extra! The Creme brulee was absolutely amazing. I haven't tried many vegan versions, but this one's definitely the best! A must try. The fondant chocolat was nice, a great contrast with hot and cold as usual. The strawberry tiramisu was a real treat for me. I love the texture and variety of a tiramisu, but I'm not a fan of coffee... So this strawberry version ticks all the boxes We just couldn't get enough of dessert so we had the pancakes too! They aren't your usual pancakes, they are very thick, but light and fluffy, the cream and ice-cream were perfect, as were the accompanying fruit, though I did mourn the absence of banana

Finally took the time to go to this gem. They’re famous for their pancakes but I didn’t have those, means that I have to go back at some point. Anyhow, friendly staff serves you a fully vegan menu. Gluten-free options are also clearly indicated. They have also many sweets to eat there but also a selection to take home. The lunch salad plate I ordered was great, full of veggies and I loved that they serve the dressing (delicious) separately so that you can portion it yourself. The salad was really big, super full afterwards. Karaage was SO juicy. I’ve had many vegan karaage in Japan so far but this one was the juiciest for sure. Recommend this place to anyone, vegan or not!

Very hard to find since it has a small facade but once you step through the door and down the rabbit hole, a cool shop/ kitchen unfolds in front of you. Upstairs has a few tables and feel distinctively Northern European deco. Vegan and vegetarian
