Osaka · Vegan · Vegetarian · €

OKO is widely described as vegan-friendly. A separate vegan menu is available on request. Vegan okonomiyaki is made with okara powder and contains no animal products. However, the same grill is used for non-vegan items that include meat, seafood, and eggs, so cross-contact remains possible. The owner is reported to be knowledgeable about vegan needs. The venue is classed as strongly trusted due to its dedicated menu and aware staff, but shared cooking surfaces are a factor.

Sukhasana

Chuo Ward · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

Sukhasana is a 100% plant-based Neapolitan-style pizzeria, reported fully vegan since September 2021. The owner is the sole employee and the kitchen is entirely vegan, so dairy, egg, and other animal products are structurally absent.

Osaka · Ramen · Japanese · €⁠€

The venue is fully vegan (ramen, grilled ramen, and tsukemen are all plant-based). Multiple sources confirm it as a vegan ramen shop.

A reliable choice for vegans.

OSAKA ENGINE RAMEN

Chuo Ward · Ramen · Japanese · €⁠€

The venue offers a separate vegan menu with several clearly labelled vegan ramen options, including Zesty Vegan, Genuine Miso Vegan, and Osaka Black Vegan. Staff are knowledgeable about vegan needs and can make all dishes vegan if requested. However, the kitchen is shared, and some reviews note that vegan options are not always available. The base broth for vegan ramen contains soy and wheat, so cross-contamination with non-vegan ingredients is possible. Confirm with staff before ordering.

The owner-chef actively asks about dietary restrictions and has a sound understanding of veganism. That said, the kitchen is shared with meat and fish sushi, and no dedicated equipment or cross-contact prevention is mentioned. A cross-contamination risk therefore exists.

Cafe PRANA describes its menu as fully vegan and allergen-aware, though the kitchen is shared with a cooking school where some animal products are used.
