Located in the heart of the city, this charming restaurant takes vegan dining to the next level, offering creative, flavourful dishes that highlight the best of Japanese and international cuisine. This restaurant redefines plant-based dining in Osaka.
Paprika Shokudo Vegan is all about celebrating the abundance of plant-based ingredients. Their menu is a vibrant mix of Japanese classics and globally inspired dishes, all made entirely vegan. From hearty rice bowls to colourful salads and rich curries, every plate is crafted with care and creativity.
One of their standout dishes is the yakiniki rice bowl. Featuring marinated, grilled soy-based "meat" that's tender, smoky, and bursting with flavour. This bowl is a satisfying homage to traditional Yakiniki (Japanese BBQ). Served over a bed of fluffy rice and topped with fresh vegetables and a drizzle of savoury vegan sauce, it's a well-balanced meal that delivers all the bold, umami flavours that you'd expect from Japanese BBQ, without any animal products. Probably the best thing I ate in Japan.
