If you're a vegetarian visiting Japan, you might have heard that finding plant-based meals can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. But here's one gem we found right in the bustling heart of Yokohama Station—a warm and welcoming vegetarian-friendly curry shop called RUCY+R.
RUCY+R is a modern, curry-themed eatery that's part of Japan's growing love affair with fusion-style dining. The best part? They offer thoughtfully prepared vegetarian curry sets—flavorful, hearty, and completely satisfying.
We visited during dinner time, and despite the location, the prices were relatively reasonable. My Indian husband, who tends to be traditional with food, opted for a classic Japanese/European-style curry, while I chose the soup curry set. Each meal came as a complete set with brown rice, fresh salad, and even plant-based gelato for dessert. Yes, vegetarians, you're covered from starter to sweet!
Another thoughtful touch: you can adjust the portion of your rice, avoiding both waste and overwhelm. The curry itself is gently spiced to suit local tastes, but for those who enjoy a kick, chilli powder and curry sauce are available at every table to customise your flavour experience.
The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting—perfect for taking a break from sightseeing or enjoying a cosy meal with friends. And the brown rice pairing adds a nutritious twist to the delicious curry.
Whether you're a lifelong vegetarian or just looking for a meat-free option in Japan, RUCY+R is a must-try. Trust us; this spot proves that vegetarian food in Japan can be just as soul-satisfying and flavour-rich as anywhere else.
