Vegan Soy Sauce Ramen & Sushi
 

What You Will Learn

Enjoy a complete vegan Japanese feast featuring our signature Vegan Shoyu Ramen with its rich, savory soy sauce broth full of deep umami. Savor two styles of fresh sushi: Vegan Maki Sushi filled with our special homemade "vegan meat-miso" (firm tofu and Hatcho miso) and crunchy vegetables, plus Vegan Nigiri Sushi where you press seasoned rice by hand and top it with vegetables reimagined as seafood — peeled tomato for tuna, kombu-simmered king oyster mushroom for scallop, and shiitake from our own ramen broth, glazed in sweet soy.
 

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 Maki Sushi (Rolled Sushi) with Savory Miso Tofu

Discover a unique and delicious twist on classic rolled sushi. The star ingredient is our homemade "vegan meat-miso" made from firm tofu and Hatcho Miso (a traditional, rich dark miso). Rolled together with fresh, crunchy vegetables, it creates a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and umami flavors in every bite.

Vegan Nigiri Sushi (Hand-Pressed Sushi)

Master the art of nigiri, the most iconic style of sushi! You will shape seasoned sushi rice by hand and top each piece with vegetables transformed in the Japanese tradition of mitate — blanched, peeled tomato standing in for tuna, king oyster mushroom simmered in kombu dashi for scallop, and shiitake glazed in sweet soy. Elegant, surprising, and entirely plant-based.
