Fantastic! - Edit
Visited twice on our recent trip. A little bit of a trek to get there, but well worth it. Really excellent ramen noodles, and it was good to be able to choose our spice level. Also best vegan ice cream I've had. Well worth checking out if in Kyoto.

Best vegan ramen... like ever!! - Edit
This cozy little restaurant where tables become silent as soon as people taste their ramen. Seriously, if you like ramen... I mean... Really like ramen, do not miss out on this place. Their Apple pies are equally as tasty... I would move here just for this place lol

Best vegan ramen? I’m going with YES! - Edit
So good. I don’t know how they make the soy cream broth but it’s amazing and does not taste like soybeans at all, just a rich, creamy broth. Almost like a loose Alfredo and I didn’t even order the extra rich option! If you are a fan of ramen this place is a must.
Read morePros: Delicious cream broth, Customizable size and spice level
Cons: I am not there right now

Great place. Awesome food. Friendly staff - Edit
We got there about an hour before closing and the staff was at the door to greet us. The food was delicious. We ordered each an M size lamen and it's so much bigger than I thought it would be. So yummy and rich. They called us a cab on the way out and made sure we waited inside where it was warm and cozy. :)

Wonderful Atmosphere - Edit
A neat, small place, a bit hidden. Was really quiet and empty when I was there.
Read moreRamen were delicious!
Seems like they canceled the "non-vegan egg-noodles" - not sure if only temporarily.
Even though the price range is 850-2000 Yen, a standard portion (~1000Yen) might leave you a bit hungry.
Pros: Place to be!, Friendly staff, Delicious food
Cons: Meal size compared to price

Ramen dreams are made of - Edit
I'm terrible at remembering to write reviews but the food at Towzen Ramen was so outstanding I must tell the world. I would never have known that soy milk would have been the key to getting the vegan broth as rich as its meaty cousin, but it totally works! Most importantly though were the noodles. Despite that they were made without eggs they were chewy and dense the way ramen noodles should be. Honestly I used to live in Japan and since going vegan I've really missed this wonderful dish. This is the first time I found the real thing vegan style. I'm so happy that this restaurant exists. I know it's a bit far out, but DO NOT MISS this place trust me!

Great! - Edit
I just finished off my best vegan meal in Japan at this place!
Read moreThe restaurant is a bit difficult to find, I took a 30min busride from Kyoto station but it was totally worth it! For those of you who, like me, also wanted to go to the Gion area, it's the same buss so this would be a great pitstop on the way.
The restaurant setting is a great mix of traditional and modern.
They have 3 types of vegan noodle soups, where you get to choose the noodles, topping and size - biggest bowel cost 1050yenThey also have some dessert and some set meals.
However you should know they have a small siesta so the working hours are 11:30 - 14:30 and then open again 18-21:30.
Pros: english menue
