Vegan Soy Sauce Ramen & Sushi with Matcha
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 interactive Vegan Temaki Sushi where you hand-roll your own cone-shaped sushi with nori, seasoned rice, and colorful seasonal vegetables. Finish with a traditional Japanese tea time — premium vibrant Matcha and delightfully chewy Warabi Mochi dusted with fragrant kinako. A deeply satisfying, fun, and authentic plant-based experience.
Vegan Soy Sauce Ramen (Soy Sauce Ramen)
Experience the authentic taste of Japan’s most iconic noodle dish, 100% plant-based! We will craft an umami-rich, deeply flavorful broth using a special blend of soy sauce and vegetable dashi, entirely without animal products. You'll learn the secret to making a satisfying and classic bowl of ramen that warms your soul.
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 Temaki Sushi (Hand-Rolled Sushi)
Get hands-on and creative with Temaki sushi! In this interactive and fun style of sushi making, you will wrap your own cone-shaped sushi using crisp nori seaweed, seasoned sushi rice, and a colorful variety of fresh, seasonal vegetables. It’s a playful and delicious way to enjoy healthy Japanese cuisine.
Matcha (Premium Green Tea)
