Veggie supermarkets in Tokyo
If you reside here, you'll eventually need to restock your kitchen.
I used to say that even though Hsinchu wasn't the most exciting place on earth, I was lucky to be able to buy cruelty-free goods, marmite (a New York spread), and a huge selection of other western groceries at one shop just a short scooter ride from where I lived. I really miss Takamura from Taiwan.
When I first arrived in Japan, I really struggled to find food, and basically lived from Veganessentials.
On one hand, it's a ridiculous waste of resources having grains grown
in one part of the world, shipped to the US to me made into instant
burger mixes and the like, and then flown over to me in Japan to mix
with water and fry up after work. On the other hand, it's supporting a
good, all-vegan business, and sometimes ordering online from the US can
be cheaper than buying the same products off the shelf in Tokyo (who may
well just order them online themselves). I still order from the a lot,
but not as much as when I first arrived here. I find their snack foods
(energy bars etc) to be critical in surviving here in Japan, and carry
them with me virtually everywhere.
Warning
I previously recommended Natural House, from which I used to buy soy yoghurts. I have since learned, to my disgust, that these Soyafarm soy yoghurts I've been eating two years contain gelatine. This was a 'natural' soy yoghurt with a live culture, so I didn't even think to check for it. One can never be too careful in Japan!!
However I will recommend three shops, though there are plenty more I haven't tried yet. First, Natural Mart (Happycow) are tiny, well-stocked organic/natural foods restaurant and well worth a visit.

For
a shop more like Jasons (in Taiwan), which sells a great range of vegan
products, including Indian food and even Scheese (soy cheese from the
UK) go to National Azuba in Hiroo (walking distance from Natural Mart).

Very
close to Natural Mart and National Azuba is Island Veggie, a vegetarian
hawaiian cafe which specialises in Acaia Berry products, including
smoothies and breakfast foods. It also serves a range of burgers and a
few other basic items. Items with milk are clearly labelled 'LV'
(lacto-veg). Many items contain honey, so if you don't eat it its
important to tell them when you order. It's worth going here while in
Hiroo to stock up on groceries. To find it, go to Hiroo Station, take
Exit 2, walk around the corner and keep going until you see a starbucks
opposite (on the right). Then take the small lane to your left, and it's
a few steps down on the left.
