ABOUT US
Veg-An (pronounced “Veggie An") is a home-based cloud kitchen founded on 15 Jan 2021, offering authentic Japanese vegan bento. It is operated by husband-and-wife team Kennard and Tomoe, who are highly passionate about promoting the plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle to combat climate change and improving animal welfare. The name Veg-An is a word play on the word “Vegan”. In Japanese, “An” mean a small secluded hut, which is similar to our home. Four years since our founding, we have shifted our operation into a commercial food shop in Trio Mall on 15 April 2025.

Tomoe’s Vision as Chef: Recreating the flavours of Japan using plant-based ingredients.
As the R&D chef of Veg-An, Tomoe works to recreate authentic Japanese home-cooked flavours using plant-based ingredients. She handles all food preparation and personally puts together each and every bento set, to ensure their taste and quality.
Kennard’s Role: Business Development & Sourcing
Kennard manages the business development aspect of Veg-An, utilising his experience and network as a business consultant to source for quality plant-based ingredients from Japan, to be incorporated into their menu.
Connecting with Japan’s Communities & Producers
Veg-An is committed to supporting the local farming communities and SMEs in Japan, and they partner Japanese companies to import plant-based products and ingredients from Japan. Besides supporting Japanese products and businesses, Veg-An also hopes for more omnivores and flexitarians to explore vegan cuisine, and to consider incorporating plant-based eating into their regular diet, to help build a kinder world and also leave behind a more sustainable planet for our future generation.
