- Vegetarian ramen (and meat ramen!) in Kyoto Station at Taishoken.
TIPS FOR BEING VEGETARIAN IN JAPAN: • Being Vegetarian in To...
Correction:
0:05 Last time I went here, in Spring 2024, they unfortunately weren't serving the vegetarian ramen any more, sorry! There are lots of other options for vegetarians in Japan in a playlist on my channel.
The 10th floor of Kyoto Station is full of ramen restaurants. I was really surprised to stumble across one that had vegetarian ramen, which is really unusual in Japan. Most ramen noodle dishes contain dashi (fish stock) or have meat (pork) based soup, but here the stock is vegetarian. They also serve regular meat ramen, and the restaurant was founded by the inventor of tsukemen (dipping noodles).
The restaurant is Yamagishi Taishoken, on the 10th floor in Kyoto Station (a couple of branches elsewhere in Japan too, including Ikebukuro in Tokyo): www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaur...

Thank you so much! This makes our lives much easier!
If you're also going to Tokyo, I made this list that you might find helpful :-) www.cakeswithfaces.co.uk/japan/vegetarian-restaurants-in-japan/
Your videos are very helpful, thanks for all the info !
Thanks so much! I wanted to help people with all the things I wanted to know before I first went to Japan :-)
@@cakeswithfaces great initiative
Thanks for this
Hope it helps! :-) Lots more restaurants with veggie options here: www.cakeswithfaces.co.uk/japan/vegetarian-restaurants-in-japan/
Thank you for the recommendation to Yamagishi Taishoken. My wife and I are vegan and came here and presented them the vegan card just to make sure and they said that they don't serve vegan ramen. Luckily the one diagonally in front of it had vegan ramen. The restaurant is called Menya Iroha. It was on the salty side and tasted like 2 minute noodles but we didn't care as we were hungry and happy to support a place that do serve vegan options.
I wonder if they changed their menu? At least you found somewhere to eat though. If you're still in Kyoto, I'd really recommend Mimikou - I loved their curry udon & they have several vegetarian options (not sure if they're all vegan but some are). It's near Gion and Southern Higashiyama www.happycow.net/reviews/mimikou-kyoto-65102
thanks, really helpful!
Thanks! Vegetarian ramen's not easy to find so this was a treat! :-)
All dishes are looking delishious. 😋
It certainly was! There's nothing like ramen! :-)
😃
Kyoto Station looks Amazing !
Yes the architecture’s fantastic!
This is very useful to know! ^^ There isn't a great deal of information about vegetarian/vegan food in Japan and it really worries it's going to be real a struggle when I visit
I was worried too before I first went! It's not easy but you'll be able to survive with a bit of research. Most places don't have vegetarian options, so I'd highly recommend making a list of places to eat before you go, then you'll be able to enjoy lots of great Japanese food without getting stressed when you're there. Did you see my other video with tips for being vegetarian in Japan? :-) ua-cam.com/video/x7PXiMf0OwM/v-deo.html
Oh wow, what time where you at Kyoto Station? When i was there last month, the stairway display was packed full of people!
tasingp Really? After a while one single person walked down the middle of it!! :-) it was quite late in the evening, the restaurants were closing as we finished.
Hi there just to confirm, I choose to not have onions and garlic right? As I cannot consume those
It can be difficult to avoid specific ingredients with the language barrier, so I'd probably recommend printing out a card to show to the staff at restaurants - like these ones: justhungry.com/japan-dining-out-cards It's not always clear which ingredients are in meals in restaurants.
One restaurant I've heard of that offers vegetarian dishes without onions/garlic is Chabuzen in Shimokitzawa (in Tokyo): tokyovege.com/chabuzen
美味しそう!
MeowToby はい！ほんとにそですね！
Aawww Kyoto station looks amazing at night - is it always like that or is that a seasonal thing?
Kakibot It's always like that! Such an impressive building - didn't expect that at all! :-)
so would the ramen be vegan if you don't have an egg with it? or are there some other animal products being used? :o
I don't know all the ingredients but I'm not aware of any animal products in the broth. I heard that most ramen noodles contain egg though, unless you're at a vegan restaurant, so I think it's vegetarian but not vegan.
In kyoto rn and looking for how to get to the 10th floor
Hope you're having a great time! To get to the ramen floor you need to go up the big staircase in the main atrium part of Kyoto station, towards the observation deck, then the door into the building's on the left
@@cakeswithfaces thank you for the prompt reply. I'll try to find this observation deck. Is there anything else around that I can use as a pointer?
@@schwarzschaz You need to go up the light-up staircase in the video a 00:50. It's in the large, main atrium of the station (that you can also see in the video). Hope that helps!
And I hope you're enjoying Kyoto!
@@cakeswithfaces thank you! And we are! The trip's been so nice
I can't watch it's making me hungry :)
Haha it's almost lunchtime...! X-D
Lunchtime opens up so many opportunities...
