Izakaya Masaka, located in the PARCO shopping centre in the heart of Shibuya, is a popular all-vegan restaurant serving up a small menu of traditional Japanese dishes.
The star of the show is undoubtedly the karaage - one of the most realistic and insanely delicious vegan meat I’ve tasted. The meaty texture and rich flavours make this a must-try item. Choose from one of the many sauces to top the karaage like teriyaki mayo or sichuan spicy sauce. The gyoza is another delicious, authentic choice with its crispy base and classic gyoza filling.
Because of its central location and relatively small space, expect a bit of a wait during peak lunch and dinner hours, especially on weekends.
