About

Afuri is not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant. It's a well known ramen chain with branches all over Tokyo (Ebisu, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Roppongi, Nakameguro, and more) that built its reputation on a light, clear chicken and dashi broth with yuzu citrus. That said, it's one of the few larger ramen chains in Tokyo that offers a dedicated vegan option, which makes it unusually useful for mixed groups or anyone who wants a proper ramen experience without having to seek out a specialist shop. The vegan bowl, called the Colorful Vegetable Vegan Ramen, uses a 100% vegetable broth and swaps the standard egg noodles for lotus root blended noodles. Toppings are seasonal and change regularly. It's not an afterthought on the menu, but it is a single item on a much larger non vegan menu, so expectations should be set accordingly.

Good to know

  • The vegan ramen features a lighter broth closer to soba or udon in body, with toppings like dried tomato, onion, carrot, celery, and mushroom that change seasonally.
  • Not all Afuri locations offer vegan ramen; availability varies by branch.
  • Bowls run around ¥1,390 to ¥1,400.
  • Open Sunday through Thursday 11:00 to 23:00 (last order 22:30), Friday and Saturday 11:00 to 29:00 (last order 28:30). Cashless payment only.
  • Located at the top of Dogenzaka next to Shibuya Dogenzaka Post Office.
