Vegan Bistro Jangara

Vegan Bistro Jangara is a fully vegan restaurant in central Harajuku, opened in 2021 by Kyushu Jangara, a small ramen chain that started in Akihabara and is now approaching its 40th year. The bistro sits on the second floor directly above the original (non vegan) Kyushu Jangara Harajuku branch. The menu is wide for a vegan spot: ramen, grilled burgers with four sauces on the side, soy meat teppanyaki plates, curry, quesadillas, gyoza, karaage, and desserts. The ramen draws on the chain's Kyushu roots, with vegan versions of their tonkotsu style bowls using thin, egg free noodles and a rich soy based broth. About 70% of the clientele is international visitors, and the restaurant is named after the Hirado Jangara Festival in Nagasaki.
