Typical restaurant great food - Edit
You can't guess from the outside that it has a vegan ramen, so you just have to go in. Seating is very limited and we saw only locals here which I guess is a good sign. There's one clearly labelled vegan ramen, and it's delicious. A bit more veggies in or some tofu would be nice but that's really the only criticism I could have. It's tasty and cheap!

Single Vegan option, absolutely delicious - Edit
This is my favourite meal in the week I have been in Japan so far. Simple but rich flavours, the soba Noodles are divine and all at a reasonable price, about ¥1500 which is more than worth it.

Simple yet deep flavor - Edit
I went there last night since the wait time at every other vegan restaurant was a little too much.
Read moreThe taste was not disappointing, and the eatery had a nice vibe.
However, I wish they had the option of adding tofu or something (I actually didn't even ask) since the vegan tomato ramen barely had anything in terms of protein - tomato, leaves, noodles and the broth (which is probably soy based, but unsure if that's enough protein)
Pros: Simplicity, Live cooking
Cons: Lack of protein, Single option

Five stars (if I could) - Edit
Had a great experience here. Watching the chef at work was very entertaining, and the dish itself was delicious. The tomato ramen is the only vegan option and is highly recommended. Affordable.

Very high quality - Edit
Great experience here! Just one vegan option so I wouldn’t return but definitely had a very satisfying dinner. There was no line when I came here but there was when I left. With only seven spots it fills up quickly!

Conveniently located in Gion, small and sleek place with open kitchen - Edit
There are about 8 seats at the counter and a row chairs behind the counter for people to wait. We probably waited 20 mins. Your group may have to split up depending on how seats become available, but since there is a hushed atmosphere you might not have talked very much anyway. The counter faces the open kitchen so you can watch the owner preparing all the food (he also does everything else in the shop as he’s the only one working there)!
Read moreThere is one vegan ramen which has tomato, kelp and basil, unlike any other ramen I’ve had. ***Note, there will be cross-contamination on the when the tomatoes are grilled as the same grill is used for fish and meat!***
