Vegan Ramen at Afuri, Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan
About This Activity
Afuri ramen, with locations in Harajuku, Ebisu, and Shinjuku, is internationally recognised for its light yuzu-shio (citrus-salt) broth and offers a dedicated vegan ramen menu using a kombu and shiitake dashi base topped with grilled vegetables, tofu chashu, and crispy noodles. The vegan bowl is as polished as its meat counterparts — a rare feat in Japanese ramen culture. Expect a short queue at peak hours; most locations open from 11am.
