Below is information about the availability of possibly vegan food/drinks at some the more common chain cafes in Japan. This information is based on a review of the allergen information provided on the cafe’s website. In Japan, restaurants and cafes are required to give information about the presence of the following allergens in their food products:
• eggs, milk, wheat, buckwheat, peanut, shrimp and crab.
It is recommended that they also give information about the following allergens:
• soy, beef, chicken, pork, abalone, squid, salmon roe, salmon, mackerel, orange, kiwifruit, peach, apple, pineapple, yam/sweet potato, walnuts, gelatine and banana.
This information can be useful for vegans. Of course it is not definitive, as other animal products may still be in the food – e.g. fish dashi. Fish dashi, skipjack tuna dashi in particular, is very commonly used in Japan in sauces, soups, and savory dishes. Other types of fish such as tuna or anchovies, seafood such as scallops, and also duck or honey can also be present in the food and not mentioned on allergen charts. Honey is commonly used at some cafes in Japan. So, allergen charts are merely a good starting point, allowing you to narrow your search and ask a few good questions.
Some foods contain flavoring and emulsifiers which may be animal-derived or sugar that may be bone-char processed. We have marked below wherever we have information on how these ingredients were made.
Note cafes often change their menus, so it is a good idea to check their websites before you visit. Of course it is always a good idea to check with staff that the item you want to order is vegan (if possible).
Wherever possible, we have noted below where foods were cooked together with animal products or may have cross-contamination from being processed together with food containing animal products, but food may also have cross-contamination from wheat, soy, or other ingredients. Please check allergen charts before eating if you have food allergies or intolerances.
Beck’s Coffee Shop is run by the Japan Railway (JR) East Food Business, so the stores are located in and around JR East stations.

There is a disclaimer on the Cafe de Crie website stating (from autotranslate): “About allergy indication
The allergens shown on this page are the result of a scrutiny of all ingredients.
All are displayed regardless of the amount of allergens.
Some of them are manufactured and cooked using the same equipment as raw materials containing other allergens.
Sensitivity to allergens varies greatly from person to person.
We recommend that you consult a specialist for the final decision based on this data.
Ingredients that are not originally used in the product may adhere to or mix in during factory manufacturing or store cooking, and
some ingredients may differ depending on the store, which is not absolute.
Please consult with your doctor before making the final decision.
Allergy information is a search of the raw materials of the product.
As a general rule, accessories such as potion milk, sugar, gum syrup, and dressings are listed separately.
Products are subject to change without notice. In addition, information will be updated from time to time as the product content changes.
The products we handle differ depending on the store. Some stores do not sell some products.”

• Plain bagel/プレーンベーグル
• Blueberry bagel/ブルーベリーベーグル
As of 4/22/2021, Excelsior Caffe has a bagel sandwich called Soy Meat ~with Balsamic Cream~/大豆ミート～バルサミコクリーム仕立て～. The poster for the product and the website’s “seasonal recommendations” section say the main ingredients are free of animal ingredients ( 各食材の主原料に動物性食材を使用していないことを確認しています) (but it’s not for kanzensaishokusugisha (those who don’t eat any animal products) 完全な菜食主義の方に向けた商品ではありません. This is identical to the wording used for Doutor’s Whole Grain Sandwich Soy Meat so again, it seems possible that some ancillary ingredient(s) could be of animal origin as if it were simply a cross-contamination issue, the company could just say so. It does not list any animal allergens on the allergen chart.
Also an offshoot of Doutor coffee with considerable overlap of menu items with regular Excelsior Caffe branches.

The foods that appear possibly vegan from a review of the same allergen chart (published 4/22/2021) are:
• Plain bagel/プレーンベーグル
• Blueberry bagel/ブルーベリーベーグル
The bread/パン does not list any animal allergens from the allergen chart but is only available as part of a set (セット用).

As of 4/22/2021, Excelsior Caffe Barista (along with Excelsior Caffe) has a bagel sandwich called Soy Meat ~with Balsamic Cream~/大豆ミート～バルサミコクリーム仕立て～. The poster for the product and the Excelsior Caffe website’s “seasonal recommendations” section say the main ingredients are free of animal ingredients ( 各食材の主原料に動物性食材を使用していないことを確認しています) (but it’s not for kanzensaishokusugisha (those who don’t eat any animal products) 完全な菜食主義の方に向けた商品ではありません. This is identical to the wording used for Doutor’s Whole Grain Sandwich Soy Meat so again, it seems possible that some ancillary ingredient(s) could be of animal origin as if it were simply a cross-contamination issue, the company could just say so. It does not list any animal allergens on the allergen chart.
There are more than 150 Hoshino Coffee shops in Japan.
Although there doesn’t appear to be an allergy chart on their website, as of February 27, 2020, the menu does list a soymilk latte/豆乳ラテ and iced soymilk latte/アイス豆乳ラテ, stating it’s suitable for people with dairy allergies (except that there may be cross-contamination)/ヘルシー志向の人や、乳製品アレルギーの人には嬉しいですね。（アレルギーに関してはコンタミネーションがあるので注意です). Presumably this means there is no dairy as an ingredient, only possibly from cross-contamination. There is also the usual assortment of black coffees, teas, and so on.
Komeda Coffee (English-language link)
Komeda Coffee is one of the largest coffee chains in Japan. Formed in 1968 in Nagoya, they’ve grown to a total of more than 800 shops.
They have one plant-based branch, opened 7/15/2020 in Ginza, Tokyo. Check out the English-language Tokyo Vegan writeup here.
The information below is for their regular, non-plant-based branches.
They offer a drink ticket package of 8 tickets for 3100 yen, so 388 yen per drink. It is good for a variety of drinks, including a Soymilk Au Lait (hot or iced).
The following drink items appear to possibly be vegan from the allergen chart published 7/27/2021 (the Komeda Yōkan/コメダ羊羹 and coffee candy do not appear on the allergen chart so we have reviewed the ingredient list on the packages instead for those items):

The Mixed Juice/ミックスユース and Banana Juice/バナナジュース both contain dairy, so are not vegan.
The allergen chart says that the Adzuki Komachi, Sakura (cherry blossom) (hot version) /小豆小町 桜（さくら） does not use milk (牛乳の使用はありません), however this is a milk tea-based drink, so it seems somewhat doubtful if it’s truly dairy-free. Please confirm with the staff if it has dairy or not before ordering.
The following drinks do not have dairy allergens listed on the allergen chart when ordered with soymilk, so appear potentially vegan. If you order these drinks, check what you receive for a green “豆” sticker to ensure that your order was correctly made with soymilk:

• Soymilk Coffee/【豆乳】ミルクコーヒー

• Soymilk Cream Au Lait (with sweetener in or accompanied by sweetener)/【豆乳】クリームオーレ（甘味入り）/【豆乳】クリームオーレ（甘味抜き）
The Honey Iced Coffee/蜂蜜アイスコーヒー presumably contains real honey and would not be vegan.
The foods that appear potentially vegan from a review of the same allergen chart are:
• Potato Basket/ポテトバスケット
• Tomato Ketchup Packet/トマトケチャップ1袋（12g）
The Spreadable Soymilk/ぬる豆乳 is a product similar to a margarine on the morning menu. Although it doesn’t show animal allergens on the allergen chart; unfortunately as the toast has dairy, there’s nothing vegan to put it on.
Shaved ice in Japan sometimes contains hachimitsu, which is honey. The Komeda allergen chart doesn’t show the presence or absence of honey. The following shaved ices in regular or mini sizes, when ordered without toppings, may possibly be vegan:
• La France Pear Shaved Ice/ラ・フランスかき氷
• Grape Shaved Ice/ぶどうかき氷
• White Peach Shaved Ice/白桃かき氷
• Strawberry Shaved Ice/いちごかき氷

The Komeda Special Adzuki Milk Shaved Ice/コメダ特製 あずきミルクかき氷 and the other toppings for the shaved ice, Soft Cream/ソフトクリーム(トッピング) and Condensed Milk/練乳(トッピング) all contain dairy and are not vegan.
A few of the snacks/packaged sweets appear to possibly be vegan.
The Bean Snack/豆菓子 that is given for free when you order a drink appears to possibly be vegan, both from the allergen chart and the ingredient lists. However, it’s not clear what the “edible refined and processed oils/食用精製加工油脂” are made of.
• Bean Snack/豆菓子. Ingredients: Peanuts (China), wheat, starch, sugar, adjusted sugar product (sugar, malitol), edible refined and processed oils, vegetable oil, salt/leavening agent, seasoning (amino acids, etc.).
Product contains peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.
There’s also a large packaged version of the Bean Snack to take home, but the ingredient list is slightly different. The “edible refined and processed oils/食用精製加工油脂” don’t appear as an ingredient here.
• Komeda’s Bean Snack/コメダの豆菓子. Ingredients: Peanuts, wheat, starch, sugar, vegetable oil, adjusted sugar product (sugar, malitol), salt/leavening agent, seasoning (amino acids, etc.).
Product contains wheat and peanuts.

Starbucks
Starbucks in Japan has more than 1800 outposts as of the end of March 2023. Some, such as the Reserve branches, may have additional items not shown below- check the English-language allergen chart on the Starbucks website for more details. What is shown below is the standard menu that regular Starbucks stores in Japan have.
The Starbucks menu in Japan includes a soy latte, but you can also order other drinks with soymilk/豆乳, almond milk/アーモンドミルク, or oat milk/オーツミルク for an extra ¥50. However, even when ordered with non-dairy milk, some drinks still have dairy in them, so please check the list below.
NOTE: Although it did not show on the allergen chart, Starbucks customer service stated in April 2021 to a volunteer that contacted them that their drinks with almond milk all contained pork in the almond milk. However, since then a customer who called customer service stated that it has been changed to plant-derived emulsifier.
Starbucks customer service did confirm to us at that time that the oat milk and soymilk don’t contain any animal ingredients. From shop visits, we have seen them using Califia Farms’ labeled vegan oatmilk.
When ordering a beverage containing non-dairy milk, you’ll receive a receipt to pass to the staff member making the drinks to make sure you pick up the correct beverage.
The soymilk at Starbucks has been reported to use emulsifier made of plants, but the sugar they use was previously confirmed to be bone char processed. In April 2021, a customer service representative did not know if they use bone-char processed sugar in their almond milk.
You can get a ¥22 discount for bringing your own tumbler or mug.
The Starbucks website states (from autotranslate): Please be aware in advance that the products offered at the store are not allergy compatible products and do not guarantee the removal of allergens.
The drinks that appear possibly vegan from a review of the English-language drink allergen chart (published 1/31/2024) are:

The following drinks do not have dairy allergens in them from the ingredients themselves (excluding cross-contamination) when ordered with non-dairy milk. When ordered with non-dairy milk, they appear potentially vegan from the allergen chart:
• JOYFUL MEDLEY Tea Latte
• Caffè Misto
• Decaf Caffè Misto
• Cappuccino (Hot) (although the allergen chart states that the Cappuccino (Iced) has dairy even when ordered with non-dairy milk)

The following drinks still have dairy in them as part of the ingredients even if ordered with non-dairy milk, so are not vegan:
• Rouge White Opera Frappuccino® Blended Cream
• Rouge Opera Frappuccino® Blended Cream
• White Opera Frappuccino® Blended Cream

It’s been reported by people who have consulted with Starbucks staff members that some of these drinks, like the Matcha Frappuccino® Blended Cream, Cocoa (Hot), and Caffè Mocha (Hot) are potentially vegan when ordered with non-dairy milk and without whipped cream, and that the staff can look up the ingredients on request to see if ordering without whipped cream would make the drink dairy-free. However, we’ve not been successful when attempting to do this at our local branch- the staff members are not always knowledgeable about what’s in what part of the drinks.
For customizations, the White Mocha Flavor Syrup, Whipped Cream, and Caramel Sauce are not vegan because they all contain dairy.
The other customizations all appear potentially vegan from the allergen chart:
• Espresso Shot (1 shot/2 shots/3 shots)
• Vanilla Flavor Syrup (1 pump)
• Caramel Flavor Syrup (1 pump)
• Chocolate Syrup (1 pump)
• Chai Syrup (1 pump)
• Chocolate Chips (1 spoon)
• Frappuccino Roast (2 pumps)

• Zen Clouds Oolong (1 bag)
• Chocolate Sauce (Tall)
• Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast (1 shot)
Current food items that appear to possibly be vegan from looking at the English-language food allergen chart published 3/13/2024 are limited to the following items.
Starbucks has several plant-based items. Just like the Teriyaki Green Burger from Mos Burger, the Starbucks website states that these plant-based items do not have animal ingredients as their main ingredients. However, from autotranslate from the Starbucks website plant-based foods page (checked May 2023):
“Based on Starbucks’ plant-based approach, the term “main raw materials” refers to secondary raw materials, including food additives that make up this product. However, among the food additives contained in secondary raw materials, processing aids*1, carryovers*2, and food ingredients contained in additive formulations, which can be omitted under the Food Labeling Act, are not included in the main raw materials.”
So, the foods may not be totally animal-ingredient-free, because additives, etc. are not considered as main ingredients.
The plant-based items are as follows:
• Rice Flour Matcha Rolled Cake (seasonal item)/米粉の抹茶ロールケーキ
• Sugar Doughnut/シュガードーナツ
• Chocolate Rice Flour Muffin/チョコレートの米粉マフィン
• Semi-dried Tomato Pizza Toast/セミドライトマトのピザトースト
The Potato Chips Sea Salt/ポテトチップス シーソルト used to show no identifiable animal ingredients on the label, however, as of a check in 2023 it lists skipjack tuna extract powder/かつおエキスパウダー in the ingredient list so is not vegan.
Although the caramel drinks all contain dairy, the vanilla and caramel syrups that are sold to take home don’t list dairy on the label. As both are made in Malaysia and marked “halal,” presumably they are therefore made without the use of bone-char processed sugar. Photos taken in August 2020.
• Starbucks Caramel Flavoured Syrup. Ingredients: Sugar/flavoring, preservative (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate) citric acid, caramel coloring.
• Starbucks Vanilla Flavoured Syrup. Ingredients: Sugar/flavoring, preservative (sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate) citric acid, caramel coloring.
The signs outside St. Marc Cafe say “Chococro” in English, but “Chococro” isn’t the name of the shop. There are more than 400 shops in Japan.
The information about St Marc Cafe is based off a review of their allergen chart published 4/17/2020.
• Lemon Black Tea/紅茶レモン
• Straight Black Tea/紅茶ストレート
• Yuzu Tea/ゆず茶
• Iced Lemon Tea/アイスティーレモン
• Straight Iced Tea/アイスティストレート
• Iced Yuzu Tea/アイスゆず茶
• 24 Kinds of Fresh Vegetable Juice/24種の新鮮野菜ジュース
• 100% Orange Juice/オレンジ100%ジュース
• Yuzu Orange/柚子オレンジ
• Sapporo Beer/サッポロ 生ビール
Oddly, all the coffee drinks have dairy listed, even the Blend Coffee. However, it’s been reported that they sell black coffee on request.
The hachimitsu soramame/はちみつ そらまめ presumably contains real honey, so would not be vegan.
There are no vegan foods or desserts available.
Tully’s Coffee
Tully’s Coffee is originally from Seattle in the U.S.A. It started in Japan in the 90’s and now has 700 stores in Japan.
Seasonal drinks tend to be available for a very limited time, so it’s likely that not everything listed below will be available at the same time.
You can get a ¥30 discount for bringing your own tumbler or mug.
You can order drinks from the menu with soymilk for an extra ¥50. However, even when ordered with soymilk, some drinks still have dairy in them, so please check the list below.
The drinks that appear possibly vegan from a review of the drink allergen chart (published 4/5/2023, some English provided) are:
• Cafe Americano/カフェアメリカーノ
• Espresso/エスプレッソ
• Drip Coffee/本日のコーヒー
• Iced Coffee/アイスコーヒー
• Cold Brew Coffee/水出しアイスコーヒー

• Blood Orange Juice/ブラッドオレンジジュース
• Apple Juice 100%/りんごストレート100％ (May have cross-contamination from dairy, etc.)
The following drinks do not have dairy allergens from the ingredients in them when ordered with soymilk. When ordered with soymilk (or oat milk in the case of the Oat Milk Latte With Maple & Pecan Nuts), they appear potentially vegan from the allergen chart:
• Oat Milk Latte With Maple ＆ Pecan Nuts/メープル＆ピーカンナッツのオーツラテ (seasonal beverage) (comes standard with oat milk or can be changed to soy milk) (May have cross-contamination from dairy, etc.)
• Soy Latte/ソイラテ (comes standard with soymilk)
• Cappucino/カプチーノ
• Espresso Macchiato/エスプレッソマキアート
• Flat White/フラットホワイト
• Hojicha Latte/ほうじ茶ラテ (May have cross-contamination from dairy, etc.)
• Uji Matcha Latte/宇治抹茶ラテ
• Soymilk/豆乳 (ordered as-is)
The following drinks still have dairy in them even if ordered with soymilk (or oat milk, in the case of the first item), so are not vegan:
• Oat Milk Royal Milk Tea With Muesli ＆
Honey/ハニー＆オーツロイヤルミルクティー (seasonal beverage) (also contains honey)
• SAKURA ＆ Strawberry White Chocolate Latte/桜舞う苺ホワイトショコララテ (seasonal beverage)
• SAKURA ＆ Strawberry Royal Milk Tea/＆TEA 桜香る苺ロイヤルミルクティー (seasonal beverage) (presumably also contains royal jelly)

• Milky Flat White/ミルキーフラットホワイト
• Royal Milk Tea/ロイヤルミルクティー (presumably also contains royal jelly)
• Chai Milk Tea/&TEA チャイミルクティー
• Cocoa Latte/ココアラテ
All other drinks not listed here cannot be changed to soymilk and thus cannot be made vegan.
The following customizations appear potentially to be vegan from the allergen chart:
• with steamed Soymilk/with スチーム豆乳
• Syrup (Hazelnut, Vanilla, Caramel)/フレーバーシロップの追加（ヘーゼルナッツ/バニラ/キャラメル共通）
• Syrup (Maple)/フレーバーシロップの追加（メープル）
• Espresso Shot/エスプレッソショット
• Chocolate Sauce/チョコソース
• Cinnamon Powder/シナモンパウダー
• Sugar/シュガー
• Sugar Syrup/ガムシロップ
• Non Calory Sugar Syrup/ノンカロリーシロップ
These customizations are not vegan. They all contain dairy, except for the Tully’s Honey, which is real honey:
• Whipped Cream /ホイップクリーム
• with Steamed Milk/with スチームミルク
• Salt Caramel Sauce/ソルティキャラメルソース
• Tully’s Honey/タリーズハニー
• Chocolate Powder/チョコパウダー
• Coffee Fresh/ポーション（コーヒーフレッシュ）(creamer)
Kids’ menu:
The following drinks appear to potentially be vegan from the allergen chart:
• Soymilk/豆乳
• Cocoa Latte/チョコラテ (when ordered with soymilk)
• Apple Juice 100%/りんごストレート100％ (May have cross-contamination from dairy, etc.)
• Vegetable Juice/充実やさい
• Apple Juice/元気なりんご
The kids’ Cocoa Latte/チョコラテ doesnt show dairy allergens on the allergen chart when ordered with soymilk, in contrast with the one for adults (Cocoa Latte/ココアラテ). They appear to be different items, as the Japanese item names are also different.
Photo of the Oat Milk Latte With Maple ＆ Pecan Nuts drink below. Photo from Entabe, which lists it as “a plant-based drink that uses plant-based ingredients without dairy products as its main ingredient…Even the whipped cream is made with plant-based ingredients to create a healthy and gentle flavor, accented with the texture of nuts.” For more information on Tully’s plant-based products, please check the food section below.
In terms of the food, some items are sold as “plant-based” at Tully’s. From autotranslate: “Tully’s plant-based foods do not use animal ingredients as their main ingredients, but they may use animal-derived ingredients as additives, so they are not products for people who aim for complete vegetarianism. A category that responds to diversifying needs, such as flexitarians (a coined word that combines flexible “flexibility” and vegetarian “vegetarians”), such as choosing a diet considering health considerations and environmental impact.”
For example, the former products Soymilk Cassata/ソイミルクのカッサータ and Strawberry Soymilk Cassata/苺とソイミルクのカッサータ were sold as plant-based and didn’t show any animal ingredients on the allergen chart. However, it was reported at the time that customer service stated there was a small amount of small amounts of gelatin in the coloring of both the cassatas. (Although it didn’t turn up on the allergen chart, it may just have been very processed so no longer allergenic and therefore no longer required to be listed there.) Therefore, plant-based products as Tully’s may contain small amounts of animal products in the ingredients.
As of September 2021, the plant-based lasagna plate that, according to the PR Times, doesn’t use animal ingredients as its main ingredients, was developed by T’s Restaurant, a well-known vegan restaurant chain which began in Tokyo and runs the T’s Tantan vegan ramen shops. The T’s Restaurant Facebook does refer to this item as “vegan.”
• Plant-based Lasagna Plate (except dressing)/野菜仕立てのラザニアプレート（ドレッシングを除く）
Photos from the Tully’s website.
The following products have no animal ingredients listed on the allergen chart (some may have cross-contamination from items including animal products. Check the allergen chart for more details).

All the ice creams at Tully’s have dairy, although the waffle cone does not show animal ingredients from the allergen chart. Therefore there are no vegan ice cream options at Tully’s.
All their other snacks, food, and desserts have animal products as well.
It’s also possible to pick up some of the Tully’s soymilk, made by Fukuren, to take home. The emulsifier is reported to be of vegetable origin according to someone who stated that they contacted Tully’s customer service.
• T’s Soy Milk/T’s ソイミルク. Ingredients: Soybeans (America, not genetically modified), sanontou sugar, vegetable oil, salt/calcium lactate, emulsifier, pH adjuster, flavoring, stabilizer (carageenan).
Product contains soy.
Ueshima Coffee/上島珈琲店 is a chain with more than 100 locations in Japan. It was established in 1933 in Kobe. The English sign outside the shops reads “Precious Coffee Moments,” but that isn’t the shop name.
You can get a ¥50 discount for bringing your own tumbler. (Japanese)
The information about Ueshima Coffee is based off a review of their allergen chart published 3/20/2020.
Unfortunately, its Organic Soymilk Coffee/有機豆乳ミルク珈琲 contains dairy as an ingredient, leaving no dairy-free soymilk drinks. The only dairy-free drinks they have are:
• Cold Coffee Soda/冷珈ソーダ
• Nel Drip Blend Coffee/ネルドリップブレンドコーヒー
• Iced Coffee/アイスコーヒー
• Tea (straight)/ティー（ストレート）
• Tea (lemon)/ティー（レモン）
• Orange Juice/オレンジジュース
