Menu 1:
Gyoza:
Gyoza, delectable Japanese dumplings, feature a delicate balance of minced vegetables such as cabbage, spring onion, and tofu encased in a thin flour skin. My family's unique twist involves incorporating shoyu sauce, imparting a subtle yet tantalizing flavor to these delectable parcels.
Ramen (2 Types: Choose 1):
Ramen, a Japanese noodle soup, is elevated in my kitchen with two distinct styles. The first, a comforting miso-based ramen, showcases a harmonious blend of miso paste, vegetables, and tofu, creating a rich and savory broth. The second, a refreshing shoyu ramen, features a soy sauce-infused broth adorned with vibrant vegetables and tofu, providing a lighter yet equally satisfying alternative.
Menu 2:
Vegan Japanese Vegetable Curry Rice Bowl:
A rich and flavorful Japanese curry featuring a medley of colorful vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers. The curry is seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices and served over a bed of fluffy Japanese rice, creating a comforting and satisfying bowl.
Stir-Fried Tofu:
Stir-fried tofu, a cornerstone of Japanese vegetarian cuisine, is a symphony of textures and tastes. Tofu cubes are skillfully sautéed with an assortment of fresh vegetables, creating a colorful and nutritious medley. The dish is perfected with a savory soy-based glaze, ensuring each bite is a celebration of plant-based goodness.
Miso Soup with Tofu and Wakame:
A classic and heartwarming Japanese staple, our Miso Soup is a comforting blend of traditional flavors. Silken tofu cubes and delicate wakame seaweed gently float in a nourishing broth made from fermented miso paste. The miso imparts a savory depth, while the tofu adds a silky texture and the wakame contributes a touch of oceanic umami. This soul-soothing soup, served with a sprinkling of green onions, offers a harmonious balance of simplicity and complexity, making it a perfect start or accompaniment to your vegetarian Japanese culinary experience.
Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.

Amita
Hello. My name is Amita. I am
an Indian vegetarian. I have been interested in cooking since I was 15 years old and still cooking almost everyday. I have been living in Japan for the past 25+ years and vegetarian food not very easily available here, I cook a variety of cuisine including Indian , Mexican Japanese etc.. Therefore, for vegetarian/ vegan Japanese cuisine, I think that I can make most menus. I like to touch different cultures, so I'd like to talk with people from various countries. If we can meet, I’d like to enjoy Language Exchange too. My home is in Asakusabashi which is famous as a sightseeing spot. I can also introduce interesting shopping spots and delicious restaurants in Tokyo.
