Vegan Soy Sauce & Miso Ramen & Gyoza with Matcha
What You Will Learn
Experience authentic Japanese ramen and gyoza made 100% plant-based. Our signature Vegan Shoyu and Miso ramens feature rich, layered broths crafted from traditional fermented soy sauce and miso, slow-simmered vegetables, kombu, and shiitake mushrooms — delivering deep, satisfying umami without a single animal ingredient.
Paired with crispy-outside, juicy-inside vegetable gyoza, this satisfying main course is followed by a traditional Japanese tea time: premium vibrant Matcha and soft, chewy Warabi Mochi dusted with fragrant kinako. A complete vegan journey through classic Japanese flavors and desserts.
Vegan Soy Sauce Ramen (Soy Sauce Broth Ramen)
A classic Japanese noodle dish! We use a rich, savory broth made from traditional Japanese soy sauce and vegetables. It has a deep umami flavor without using any animal ingredients.
Vegan Miso Ramen (Miso Broth Ramen)
A rich and comforting Japanese classic! We create a deep, savory broth using traditional fermented miso paste blended with slow-simmered vegetables, kombu, and shiitake mushrooms. The result is a beautifully balanced bowl with robust umami and a gentle sweetness, all completely free from animal ingredients. Perfectly satisfying and full of authentic flavor.
Vegan Gyoza (Pan-fried Dumplings)
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. These pan-fried Japanese dumplings are packed with a delicious mix of fresh vegetables and savory seasonings.
Matcha (Premium Green Tea)
Experience the taste of Japan with our traditional, finely milled green tea. It features a beautiful vibrant green color and a rich, deep, and earthy flavor.
Warabi Mochi (Traditional Japanese Jelly Sweet)
A popular traditional, naturally vegan dessert. It is a chilled, delightfully chewy, jelly-like confection, typically enjoyed with a dusting of sweet roasted soybean flour (Kinako)
