Amazing found in Kumamoto

Restaurant with several clearly labeled vegan options, that can be ordered on it's own or as a set. Both the dan dan style noodles and the noodle soup (I don't know the exact names of the dishes, sorry) were extremely tasty.

A warm and filling meal!

Stopped here for lunch and ordered the Vegan noodle soup set with porridge! I also ordered a cold coconut and soy milk. The coconut and soy milk was so creamy with a slight hint of sweetness that left me wanting more! The cold milk with the noodle set supplied me with a filling meal that left me needing to take a quick nap and just want I needed to escape the blistering heat! There are also charging ports and prepaid food and drink items that you can purchase a la carte.


Note: be sure to specify that you’re vegan so that they switch out the soup broth to a vegetable one vs. the standard meat one!


Edit (8/11/24): I went back for breakfast the next day and I was not disappointed! The pancakes were delicious along with the fruit and the soy milk whipped cream! A perfect way to start the day 😋

Loved it!

The vegetable noodles (野菜湯麺) and spicy noodles (麻辣担々麺) were so good! I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I also added dango 団子 as a topping.

I didn’t notice they closed at 7pm so had to quickly order pancakes before it was too late. They were also amazing!

Pros: Clearly labled vegans options , Amazing taste , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Wish it opened later in the evening

Delicious soups

I ate here three times in a week. Their soups/ramens and pancakes are amazing. You can also have a rice porridge, but notify the staff ghat you want a vegetable base.

Tasty vegan ramen

Even tough pricing is above average for ramen it is well worth it. Had the spicy tantan ramen with tofu dumplings as a topping.

Tasty vegan food.

Ordered the vegan ramen to eat in, then took a rice triangle and another snack out with me for lunch the next day.

Menu and counter has vegan options clearly labeled.

Went back for breakfast and had vegan pancakes.

Amazing find

Delicious ramen (tantan ramen highly recommended) and lots of options for takeaway as well (rice balls, glutinous rice, etc.). Dessert pancakes were good, some taiwanese desserts were available but the douhua was a bit too gingery for my taste.

Rare find in area

It's nice to see a restaurant that specifies "vegan" and when I say in Japanese "I'm vegan" the staff understand. I got some sort of noodles set, it came with rice, tofu, sweet and sour veg, green beans, pickles, some gorgeous tofu in some sort of chilli sauce and then the noodles themselves. Very delicious. The English menu was a little confusing but I wasn't fussed and just pointed at something random. Had a curry pasty type thing to take away as well, very nice. Will go back.

Great little vegetarian place in downtown kumamoto

Fast food type of service and lots of vegetarian options of full meals. In the morning they serve rice porridge options mostly after which many other options are available. Lots of seating and ambient atmosphere. Also highly recommended is the the jimami tofu dessert.

Pros: English menu, Friendly staff, Nice vibe
