Ain Soph. Journey Shinjuku
Quick info
About
Ain Soph. Journey is the second location of the Ain Soph. vegan restaurant group, situated in the Shinjuku Sanchome area. The entire menu is 100% plant based, free of meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and honey. The interior is bright white with antique chairs, hanging plants, and natural light, creating a calm pocket within the density of Shinjuku. This is the branch where the Heavenly Vegan Pancakes were born, and they remain the most ordered item: thick, fluffy, souffle style pancakes served with seasonal fruit, soy ice cream, and soy whipped cream. The savory menu leans international, with dishes like taco rice, Thai green curry, vegetable paella, hayashi rice, and mushroom ajillo, alongside brown rice plate sets. Gluten free and five pungent vegetable free options are available. About 90% of customers order the course meal format.
