Ki Su Shoujin Omakase
Ki Su is a dedicated vegetarian omakase restaurant — the entire menu is plant-based, with no meat or fish used in any dish. The kitchen is built around shojin ryori (Japanese Buddhist vegetarian cooking), so vegetarian is the default, not an accommodation. Staff are described as attentive to dietary needs and can customise dishes. No dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols are mentioned, but the cuisine itself excludes all animal flesh.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

Vegan
confidence 50% ·
Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.
The restaurant is plant-based and several reviewers mention ordering a vegan set or customising for vegan preferences. However, the venue's own site describes itself as 'vegetarian' not 'vegan', and no source confirms whether all dishes are free of eggs, dairy, or honey. Staff are described as willing to accommodate dietary needs, so vegans should inform the kitchen in advance.
Honest caveat: No source confirms a fully vegan kitchen; some dishes may contain eggs, dairy, or honey by default.
