About

AIN SOPH. was born in Ginza in December 2009, when the word vegan was not yet common in Japan. Founder Yuki Shirai built it around the concept of a place to return to your true self, drawn from her own meditation experience in Okinawa, with the Ginza main shop as the flagship. It has a vertical structure with a vegan-sweets patisserie on the first floor and a restaurant from the second to fourth floors, open continuously from lunch to dinner.

— Fluffy pancakes, made without eggs

What can be called AIN SOPH.'s symbol is its signature dish, called the Heavenly Vegan Pancake at the storefront. Without eggs or dairy, it is baked from a unique mix of soy milk and vegetable oil, rice flour and wheat flour. It has a fluffy, chewy mouthfeel beyond an ordinary wheat pancake, with a gentle sweetness, and is served with maple syrup and an organic fruit sauce. It is a standard on the menu from lunch to dinner. The first-floor patisserie lines up items for takeout, such as a butter sandwich with rum-soaked raisins (no dairy), the signature vegan pudding, and cookie tins. The original expression that turns the limit of using no animal ingredients to its advantage is carried through in the series' Shinjuku, Ikebukuro, Kabukicho, Kyoto, and Nagano shops too.

“Fluffy pancakes”

Visited weekday noon. The location made me think it'd be crowded with international visitors, but only a few Japanese groups were inside — empty. 1st floor is takeout counter; 2-4F are restaurant floors. Lunch menu isn't huge, but all are vegan — order with peace of mind. Prices from ¥2,000. This time the seasonal sweet potato pancake. Slightly crispy outside, fluffy inside — delicious to the last bite. 1F to 2F is stairs, then elevator from 2F. Strollers might be tough, but small kids should be fine.
