Osaka's Classic Vegan Okonomiyaki Takeout OK

¥1,420

Okonomiyaki, one of Osaka's signature dishes, is a savory, non-sweet pancake made by mixing and grilling various ingredients. Among the many fillings available, we've chosen the most classic and beloved "pork okonomiyaki (butatama)." By using soymeat instead of pork, we've achieved a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Enjoy this classic Osaka dish in a vegan version.

Vegan Yakitori Takeout OK

¥1,680

Yakitori is a staple menu item at Japanese izakayas, and there are many yakitori specialty restaurants! It's a beloved dish made by cutting various parts of chicken into bite-sized pieces, skewering them, seasoning them with salt or a sweet and spicy sauce, and grilling them. Our restaurant recreates this dish using only vegan ingredients such as soymeat and tofu.

Menchi Katsu (Minced Meat Cutlet) Takeout OK

¥780

The name "menchi katsu" originates from "minced meat cutlet." It's a beloved comfort food in Japan, essentially a "fried hamburger." At our restaurant, we use minced soybean-based mince and tofu as the minced meat substitute. Enjoy the surprisingly satisfying taste—crispy on the outside, fluffy and juicy on the inside.

Deep fried oyster-style shiitake mushrooms

Deep-Fried "Oysters" (Shiitake Mushrooms) Takeout OK

¥780

A Japanese classic, deep-fried oyster, recreated with shiitake mushrooms! The thick shiitake mushrooms, coated in a batter containing green laver and deep-fried, are surprisingly juicy and bursting with the aroma of the sea. Enjoy them with our homemade "tofu tartar" (soy milk mayonnaise is provided for those who cannot eat onions).

Vegan Fried Chicken Takeout OK

¥780

A Japanese classic! This popular dish, often seen in izakayas, convenience stores, and bento boxes, is now available in a soymeat version. It's seasoned with soy sauce and ginger. You can also add lemon to taste.

Vegan Carbonara Udon

¥1,680

Carbonara, a rich egg and cheese pasta dish world-famous in Italy, is also a very popular dish in Japan. At our restaurant, we've recreated it using a homemade vegan cheese sauce made with sake lees and soy milk, and instead of pasta, we've used chewy Japanese udon noodles! The bacon substitute is a vegan ham made from soybeans, and the egg yolk on top is a homemade, oil-based vegan yolk that recreates the rich look and texture of the real thing.

Vegan Curry Rice Takeout OK

¥1,420

While curry rice has developed uniquely in Japan, our restaurant uses spices as the main ingredient and avoids tomatoes to create a less sweet and sour flavor. The toppings are vegetables simmered in tomato sauce and soymeat stir-fried with ginger (may change depending on availability).

Vegan Risotto Takeout OK

¥1,420

We used the same homemade vegan cheese sauce as our carbonara udon to make this risotto. Since the sauce is mixed with cooked rice, it tastes more like a rice porridge than a traditional risotto. It has no other ingredients—just vegan cheese, olive oil, vegan egg yolk, black pepper, and rice.

Vegetable Doria with Tomato Sauce

¥1,420

Japanese-style rice gratin. There are many varieties, but our recipe involves topping rice with a tomato-based vegetable stew and a creamy vegan cheese sauce, then baking it in the oven. It looks just like a warm gratin, but the base is rice.
