Safe for Vegans, Vegetarians & Travelers with Dietary Needs
Eating safely as a vegan in Japan can be challenging due to the common use of fish-based broth (dashi) and hidden animal-derived ingredients.
Our cooking class was created to provide travelers with a safe, reliable, and fully plant-based experience—with complete transparency.
✔ 100% Plant-Based Ingredients
We use only vegan ingredients, including:
・Kombu & shiitake mushroom broth (no fish, no bonito flakes)
・Fresh local vegetables
・Tofu and plant-based proteins
・Vegan-friendly noodles
・Japanese seasonings that contain no animal products
✔ No Fish Stock (Dashi-Free Promise)
Japan's most common cooking base includes fish, but we do not use any fish products.
Our ramen broth is made from kombu, shiitake, and slow-simmered vegetables, offering rich umami without animal products.
Guests often say this clear explanation made them feel "safe and comforable."
