Hi everyone!

I contacted Cocoichibanya on the 21st of December 2015 and requested for the vegan options on their menu. This is what they said:

Hi Sophia, thanks for your question. Our dishes are not "Vegan certified" however our curry stock is now all vegetarian (contains no meat, eggs or dairy) except for the Beef Hashima Omelette Curry which is made of a different base. For non-meat options, you can choose the Vegetable Curry or Eggplant and Spinach Curry. We also have Mushroom Curry and you can try our Mini Salad, Corn Salad, Fries with Curry. You can also order the vegetarian toppings separately.


And this is what is now on their facebook:

For our curry gravy, all levels (1 - 5) and mild and standard curry are vegetarian and contain no egg or dairy products. You can order the vegetable curry or the mushroom curry which contain no meat items. We are not vegan certified so the utensils used might have been used to handle non-vegetarian items. Our curry contains onion and garlic. Only one curry dish, the Hayashi Beef Curry (Hashed beef) contains meat stock in the special tomato based curry with wine.

I have yet to try their curry but the food actually looks really good! I haven't had Japanese curry since I went vegan (over 2 years) so I'm super excited to taste their food when I have time to. Hope this helps some of y'all out (:

Update: Tried the curry recently and it's amazing! Generous portion sizes as well!
