“Vegan”is often translated as “完全菜食主義(Full vegetarian)” in Japanese.
In the diet, do not consume animal foods, only plant-based foods.
The large amount of grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, and nuts makes it a recommended eating style for people who care about beauty and health.
Here are some izakaya and bars that even vegan people can visit.

KOMEDA is □【Ginza】
Komeda is □, a brand new restaurant from Komeda Coffee, opened in July 2020.
The meaning of this “□” seems to be that the person wants to create a place where they can relax and feel the new charm of Komeda.
If “Komeda is” is converted to katakana, it becomes “コメダ イズ”, and if it is further converted to kanji, it becomes “米 大豆（rice soybean）”
Therefore, it means that they mainly use gluten-free rice flour and meat-free soybeans. * Not all menus are gluten-free. Some products use rice flour and domestic wheat flour.
This restaurant aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from livestock and prevent pollution of land and water resources by vegan cuisine.
The concept is based on SDGs and emphasizes “Sustainable” that is kind to the earth.
It’s not limited to vegan food, and the restaurant itself is also sustainable.
The large tree in the center of the restaurant is made of old wood. The floor uses recycled glass. The wallpaper is painted with coffee grounds and volcanic ash to give it a taste.
In this way, “komeda is” is committed to reuse and recycling, with eco-friendly inside.
Also, the green color scheme is a relaxing and gentle space.
Starbucks recently started using paper straws in response to the straw dust problem.
The straw of “Komeda is” is plastic, so if you don’t need it, you can apply.
The burgers and sandwiches, which have a sense of volume peculiar to Komeda, are still alive.
In addition to that, It also has vegan alcohol, snacks and pasta.
You can order wine in bottles.
Recommended for wine lovers.
“Komeda is” introduces a touch panel order that was not available at previous Komeda stores.
Since it can be converted into English, Chinese, and Korean on the screen, foreigners can use it with confidence.
And since it’s all vegan, you can place an order with peace of mind, and there is no need to ask the staff to check the ingredients.
“Komeda is” is a store that is kind to the earth, animals and people.

This shop is on the first basement floor on the west side of Shinjuku.
You can eat vegan bite dumplings at an izakaya.
Soybean meat is used instead of meat.
Because the skin is gluten-free, it is replaced with brown rice.

Summary
How was this introduction to the vegan bar?
I think that the UN announced that a vegan meal is a measure against global warming, and that companies need to be vegan.
Diet style is no longer an individual issue, it is now necessary to tackle attacks on a society-wide and global scale.
First of all, why don’t you give it a try by trying out what the vegan cuisine is like?
In the article below, I introduce the UN’s recommendation for vegan diet as a measure against global warming.
