Vegan Ramen & Maki Sushi & Nigiri Sushi with Matcha & Wagashi
¥12,000 per person — Duration: 2.5 hours
What You Will Learn
Vegan Shoyu Ramen (Soy Sauce Ramen)
Experience the authentic taste of Japan's most iconic noodle dish, 100% plant-based! We will craft an umami-rich, deeply flavorful broth using a special blend of soy sauce and vegetable dashi, entirely without animal products. You'll learn the secret to making a satisfying and classic bowl of ramen that warms your soul.
Vegan Maki Sushi (Rolled Sushi) with Savory Miso Tofu
Discover a unique and delicious twist on classic rolled sushi. The star ingredient is our homemade "vegan meat-miso" made from firm tofu and Hatcho Miso (a traditional, rich dark miso). Rolled together with fresh, crunchy vegetables, it creates a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and umami flavors in every bite.
Vegan Nigiri Sushi (Hand-Pressed Sushi)
Master the art of nigiri, the most iconic style of sushi! You will shape seasoned sushi rice by hand and top each piece with vegetables transformed in the Japanese tradition of mitate — blanched, peeled tomato standing in for tuna, king oyster mushroom simmered in kombu dashi for scallop, and shiitake glazed in sweet soy. Elegant, surprising, and entirely plant-based.
Matcha (Premium Green Tea)
Experience the taste of Japan with our traditional, finely milled green tea. It features a beautiful vibrant green color and a rich, deep, and earthy flavor.
Warabi Mochi (Traditional Japanese Jelly Sweet)
A popular traditional, naturally vegan dessert. It is a chilled, delightfully chewy, jelly-like confection, typically enjoyed with a dusting of sweet roasted soybean flour (Kinako).
Why This Menu
Enjoy a complete vegan Japanese feast featuring our signature Vegan Shoyu Ramen with its rich, savory soy sauce broth full of deep umami. Savor two styles of fresh sushi: Vegan Maki Sushi filled with our special homemade "vegan meat-miso" (firm tofu and Hatcho miso) and crunchy vegetables, plus Vegan Nigiri Sushi where you press seasoned rice by hand and top it with vegetables reimagined as seafood — peeled tomato for tuna, kombu-simmered king oyster mushroom for scallop, and shiitake from our own ramen broth, glazed in sweet soy. Finish with a traditional Japanese tea time — premium vibrant Matcha and delightfully chewy Warabi Mochi dusted with fragrant kinako. A deeply satisfying, fun, and authentic plant-based experience.
