사장님이 친절하고 음식이 맛있어요! - Edit
쓰루마이 공원에서 하는 비건 페스티벌 봉사활동을 갔다가 저녁으로 먹으러 다녀왔습니다!
Read more사장님께서 배지테리언 메뉴, 비건등에 대해 굉장히 열정적으로 설명해주셨고 영어로된 메뉴 설명서도 주셨어요!
와서 버섯으로 만들었다 콩고기다 설명도 잘 해주셨습니다👍

Master chef retired. - Edit
Visited on November 2020, had the most terrible noodle dish I ever had. Turns out, the master chef with vegan cooking skills is no longer in the kitchen. If you still want to try this place, I strongly recommend you to make reservations and make sure he’s the one cooking.

Delicious vegan options - Edit
The macrobiotic menu has several great vegan options. The tantanmen and fried “chicken” are my favorites.

One of my favorite non veg restaurant in Nagoya - Edit
The staff are really helpful with the macrobiotic menu. The chicken/pork bites are awesome and the tantanmen is some of the I’ve had in Nagoya. Ask for the macrobiotic menu.

Pleasantly surprised - Edit
Got the macrobiotic tantanmen ramen and macrobiotic karaage. Both were pretty tasty and would order them again. Since this restaurant is a tonkatsu restaurant, it's a good place to go to if you are looking for an option to eat out with non-vegan friends. I did make a reservation a day early, which I would recommend doing.

this is not a vegetarian restaurant as mentioned - Edit
This is not a vegetarian and the restaurant doesn't even have a menu in English as well. You will find it very difficult to order as even the staff cannot speak English.

Salty and heavy - Edit
I have tried this place twice.
Read moreA good option especially if you want to go out with non vegans wanting to try ramen.
I just feel a bit yucky as it is a pork restaurant, and have some macrobiotic (vegan) dishes. The restaurant feels quite sticky (they do lots of deep fried dishes).
The owner is quite friendly and have English menu, so that is probably why I have decided to go there twice.
For the second time, I had asked to make the Tantan men (I think this is the best vegan choice here) but it was quite salty again.
Both time I went there, I felt heavy and needing to do some detox as the dish is really heavy and salty.
Pros: Location - 5 min walk from Tsuruma
Cons: Restaurant does not seem clean, Smells like deep fried pork, Vegan ramen

Great way for vegetarians to try traditional foods - Edit
My husband and I went to Kiharutei and tried both varieties of tantanmen (noodle soup) and their kushiage. Make sure you ask for the macrobiotic versions - those are the vegetarian ones. Everything was super delicious, and extremely filling. The staff was super nice. The chef at Kiharutei cooked at the Berlin Olympics, too! If you make a reservation, you can get all kinds of special Chinese style foods.

Cons: No English (Not really a con?)
