Sorano - Tokyo

Great cozy place where the dishes turn around tofu soybean products. The dishes are creative and very tasty and the atmosphere and seating in the restaurant is very nice. In my opinion, the price is also very affordable compared to Western restaurants. You have an English menu so sure to ask because Google translation may not work very with its handwritten Japanese menu.

You must love Tofu to enjoy a place like this, but the options are overwhelming! I was in heaven. The atmosphere with dimming light, waterfall and semi-private seating make it as if it were crazy expensive, but the price is really affordable for any occasion. The place is a bit far from the station and hard to find (Google Maps does not show the right route, and I wish the desserts were vegan (the tofu cheesecake actually has cheese / milk in it... Why, Japan?

I love the dark lighting and the sound of the waterfall made it a very peaceful and cozy atmosphere. My favorite dishes contained yuba (Tofu skin, and I loved the Tofu Dango and Yuzu cocktail. The waitresses were very helpful in checking whether individual dishes were vegan. The menu can be hard to read as it contains many Kanji. Also the desserts contain milk, so unfortunately I did not eat dessert (although I wanted to taste the tofu cheesecake! .

A group of vegan and not vegan enjoyed a variety of exceptional dishes. The menu was limited (which are difficult times), but in the end I was able to select a few vegan options. Usually, the menu has clearly marked veg options in both Japanese and English. As with previous reviews, ask whether they're completely vegan or if they could be vegan, this can best be requested in advance to avoid disappointment confusion. Avocado tofu is not what you expect!

The restaurant offers a great selection of vegan options, with delicious fresh tofu and sesame tofu dishes. Some of the staff can speak English and the menu is also available in English. However, it is recommended to ask specifically for vegan options as they are not clearly labeled on the menu. Be prepared to make a decision quickly, as the menu is extensive and spread out over multiple pages.
