Even as a vegetarian, sometimes you just want to sink your teeth into something burger-like and protein-packed. In Japan veggie burgers and other TVP based faux-meat products are hard to find, so when the cravings get overwhelming I jump on the Inokashira line to Kichijoji, and head to
Deva Deva.
They cater both to vegans and vegetarians (a bonus, as I find myself becoming increasingly picky about animal products with age), and their fried 'chicken' burger is a work of art. Even Matcha-kun, who does still eat meat (although considerably less so, as my cunning plan to convert him seems to be working, whahaha!), is a big fan. Stick with the burgers, salads and desserts, as the pizzas are a bit more hit or miss.
Sounds so good! We have one really good vegetarian restaurant in Matsuyama, which is a salad buffet (it is much better than that makes it sound, I promise!). It would be great to have more!
ReplyDeleteA salad buffet sounds like heaven!!
DeleteDo you mean Kichijoji? At the end of Inokashira line I thought was Kichijoji. Really enjoy your posts and absolutely love Kichijoji!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! Thanks for the correction, I always mix up my -o's and -ou's ;^_^A
DeleteArgh it's still on my list of places to try! That burger looks heavenly!
ReplyDeleteSince Kichijoji is admittedly a bit of a trek, I recommend combining a visit to DevaDeva with a walk in Inokashirakoen or a visit to the Ghibli Museum :) The sakura are quite famous
DeleteOoooh! Is the chicken burger their burger of the month?! I might just have to head over to Kichijoji!! I love DevaDeva and their chicken burger especially, but it isn't always on the menu... mmmmm!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm craving a burger!
