Sushi Kizaemon
Sushi Kizaemon serves a variety of vegan and vegetarian sushi alongside traditional fish dishes in a beautifully decorated dining room with private booths. The venue is known for its vegan 10-piece sushi sets featuring about a dozen clearly labeled vegan options and notable use of aka Shari, aged red vinegar rice, which provides a unique mild flavor. While prices are higher than other local sushi places and the atmosphere tends to be lively and somewhat tourist-oriented, the friendly staff, quick seating, and accommodations for vegans, including separate soy sauce pots, make it a solid choice for mixed diners.
