Had a quick bite at Sonu Sonu in Fukuoka Japan 🇯🇵 before seeing Day 5 of the Sumo tournament! We really liked the taco rice bowl, soup of the day, cheeseburger and french fries! #vegan #veganjapan #japan #fukuoka #veganfood #vegansky #plantbased
Vegan Taco Bowl Brown rice, homemade vegan taco meat, salad, vegan cheese, salsa sauce, tortilla chips Avocado Lime Soup of the day Cheeseburger A classic cheeseburger with a juicy patty topped with cheddar cheese +Jalapeños French fries Ketchup Orange juice Soup of the day Espresso Tonic A refreshing drink made with dark roast espresso and sparkling tonic water, finished with a slice of dried lime. The bittersweet taste and subtle citrus scent combine to refresh your afternoon. The perfect balance of bitterness and citrusy brightness.
