The Yasai
Sushi itself is already healthy, but The Yasai, with four locations spanning San Diego, takes the Japanese dish a step forward by creating a version that is entirely vegan, organic and ethically sourced. In addition to the faux sushi and seafood is an entirely vegan menu with Japanese staples, including vegan ramen, gyoza, sake, omakase and more. Some specialty items guests can expect to enjoy include the jumbo crispy vegan gyoza, crafted with garlic tofu, farmed veggies, glass noodles, spices and sesame ponzu; The Classic Ramen with handcrafted triple-thick noodles, classic broth, bamboo shoots, wakame seaweed, tofu, crispy kabocha pumpkin, sautéed bean sprouts, green onions and garlic chips; or the nigiri, with a rainbow of colorful veggies. An assortment of vegan-friendly sakes is available to complement each dish, in addition to vegan matcha ice cream to finish the healthy meal. To learn more about The Yasai, visit yasaivegan.com.
