After a long day of meetings and training not far from Tsukiji station, i was desperate for some vegan soul food that would fill my belly and make the long journey home much more bearable and less tummy-growly. I checked out the 'Happy Cow' app and found a typical Japanese ramen joint that apparently had a clearly visible Vegan Option- suffice to say i was suspicious but hopeful, which i have come to believe is the permanent state of mind of vegans everywhere... (': *fist pump of solidarity* To my utter disbelief, the front of the shop itself has a huge menu which states in both English and Japanese "WE HAVE VEGAN RAMEN" which made me both laugh due to how matter-of-fact the wording was also also nearly cry tears of joy for finally finding a ramen place that both me and my non-vegan friends can enjoy together without me ordering copious amounts of beer and edamame to deal with pangs of hunger. The ramen arrived so quickly and came with seaweed, gluten meat, bamboo, spring onions and bean sprouts all for the price of 1000 Yen. The stock was a soy-sauce base and tasted a little peppery but was absolutely delicious to the point where even writing about it now makes my mouth water. As you can see from the pictures below, i was a good choice indeed. Thankfully this amazing establishment also has a location only a 2-minute walk from Harajuku station which also caters for vegans so i'll include its location and information below! (: While i really enjoyed my meal and would go again for sure, there were a lot of people waiting to be seated which left staff members to sort of hint towards us leaving as soon as we finished our meals (which is understandable on a Friday night). So if you're looking for a quick bite and to go on your way, this place is perfect but if you like to take your time and enjoy the experience more than it might be better to come when its not busy like early-mid afternoon. As always if you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to contact me on my contact page or comment below!
