If you ever have the opportunity to try Vegan Tane Izakaya you must! It is a fully vegan sushi restaurqnt with amazingly creative, flavorful and delicious dishes ranging from sushi, ramen and more.
I have previously rated most of these dishes before at the Berkely location but I included photos of everything we ate because I really applaud all they do.
We got the Da Bao which is soy musubi patties, steamed buns, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeños, cucumbers, cilantro, scallions, plum wine sauce. These are great to share for two as they are handheld and only a few bites. The plum sauce was delicious and slightly sweet.
We got the Manila Dune Roll (third photo) which is one if their speciality rolls made with tempura pumpkin, spiced burdock, shredded tofu, avocado crema, chili and renkon chips. It has a nice crunch with the renkon chip and is slightly sweet and spicy. It has a great mix of flavors and textures like all the rolls here.
I also had a miso soup starter which was great, it has been pretty hard to find vegan miso soup at restaurants for me personally!
We also got another speciality roll, I believe it was Pokai but I could be wrong. The Pokai is tempura sweet potato, avocado, spicy shredded tofu, marinated bell pepper, sesame mustard, seaweed pearls. I love the seaweed pearls, they are so fun and flavorful!
We also had the Tane Katsu which is a marinated soy patty, panko bread crumbs, mixed greens, sweet soy, spicy aioli. It had a great crunch and flavor, really enjoyed it.
The vegetable tempura came with carrot, brocoli, mushrooms, sweet potato and more. It was plated with a side if daikon puree and matcha salt and came with a dipping sauce.
We had the yuzu seasonal cheesecake which was delicious.
Highly recommend trying this place in California or Honlulu if you can!
