Three restaurants where you can enjoy vegan cuisine in Fukuoka

At Sushi Shima, you can try out a ramen dish made only from plant-based ingredients, which is a reproduction of the famous Fukuoka dish tonkotsu ramen (noodles cooked in pork bone broth).
※Lunch only, reservations required

The vegan lunch set includes ramen noodles, vegetable hosomaki (thin sushi rolls), inari (sushi rice encased in a deep-fried tofu pouch), two seasonal side dishes, and a dessert.

The dashi (stock) is made with great care over time from makombu (Japanese kelp) from Hokkaido and dried shiitake mushrooms from Oita. It is combined with soy milk to produce a refined flavor. This well-calculated bowl retains the depth and umami of tonkotsu (pork bone broth), and incorporates traditional Kyushu somen (thin noodles) that pick up the soup well. Even vegans will be satisfied with these noodles, so do give it a try.

The proprietress has lived abroad and is proficient in English, and the restaurant welcomes many foreign customers.

It is possible to make delicious food using only plant-based ingredients! The burgers, made with the owner's culinary experience, are superb.
*Reservations accepted, take-out available

When you first bite into it, you will be surprised by its crispy texture! The chickpea patties are baked until crispy to recreate the texture of real meat. It is sandwiched between fluffy buns, and you can choose your own sauce and toppings. The salad served alongside the burger is also a star dish in its own right that comes with a different dressing for each vegetable. You can satisfy your heart and stomach without feeling guilty.

The side dishes are also popular and include options such as soy milk-based ice cream and sweets made with generous helpings of fruit!

The owner was so inspired by the vegan food he had first tasted in the U.S. that he decided to open a restaurant. This stylish cafe is also well-loved by the locals.

This restaurant, set in a traditional Japanese house, offers meals centered around yuba (tofu skin) and tofu.
Here, we will feature a vegan kaiseki (traditional Japanese multi-course meal) that does not use any ingredients derived from animals.
※Reservations required (same-day reservations also accepted)

The course starts with yuba tofu otsukuri (a vegan "sashimi" platter). The dishes are served one at a time, and include a Chinese-style salad of yuba and avocado, which is characterized by its crispy texture, and yudofu (boiled tofu) in a broth made with tororo kombu (shredded kelp).

The tofu, prepared in front of the diner, can be enjoyed simply with salt, but we also recommend trying the mabo-an (tofu with a spicy meat sauce) made with soy meat! You can also enjoy decorative vegetable tempura with curry salt, or yuba tofu kabayaki (grilled tofu skin) with a sweet and salty soy sauce-based sauce. The depth of soybeans comes through in the creative appearance and flavors of each dish.

Private dining rooms facing the garden, with the varied scenery of the seasons, are also available. Please ask for details when making a reservation.
