For wheatless and plant-based ramen, join Tokyo's only Vegan/Vegetarian Ramen Tour!

Guests get to enjoy four different bowls of delicious ramen and learn all about this magical dish from a local expert.

The Vegan/Vegetarian Ramen Tour in Tokyo starts at a Shibuya ramen restaurant specializing in Hokkaido ramen. Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost prefecture, is best known as the country’s "Ramen Kingdom,” and for good reason. Hokkaido’s capital, Sapporo is the birthplace of miso ramen, which is normally topped with sweet corn, bean sprouts, ground pork, and even a pat of butter!

This is just one of the styles of ramen you’ll get to try on this tour, and you’ll have the option of ordering a version that’s entirely vegan! Here you’ll choose two mini bowls from four available styles of Hokkaido ramen, including miso (from Sapporo), shoyu (from Asahikawa), and a light shio salt broth (representing Hakodate).

In addition to learning about a regional style of ramen, guests will also get a chance to taste a more modern variety of vegetarian ramen in Shinjuku. At the second ramen shop, you’ll enjoy two mini bowls of tsukemen (dipping ramen), with creative flavors that will open your mind to different possibilities for Japan’s beloved noodle soup.

For each bowl, you can choose either a vegan or non-vegan broth, so this tour is suitable for both non-vegan and vegan participants too. You can also choose between wheat and non-gluten noodles - please let us know beforehand what you prefer!

Come find out about ramen culture in Tokyo and beyond during this Vegan/Vegetarian Ramen Tour, learning about Hokkaido’s place in ramen history and the unique contemporary styles that are breaking onto the Tokyo ramen scene!
