Traditionally ramen broth is pork- or fish-based, but a growing number of Tokyo shops make fully plant-based bowls using sesame, soy, miso or vegetable broths. We list the most reliable ones here.
T's TanTan sits inside Tokyo, Ueno and Ikebukuro stations, so you can eat without leaving the ticket gates — ideal on arrival or departure days.
They're plant-based bowls served at otherwise non-vegan shops (like Afuri's yuzu-shio vegan ramen). Always confirm at your specific branch, as recipes and availability vary.
