Who doesn't like a hot bowl of ramen in this season of cold winter?
Well, winter or not, we were just looking for an excuse to eat ramen, so we dropped by Shibuya PARCO to pay a visit to Jikasei Mensho, after discovering they serve 4 types of vegan ramen!
Currently as of February 2024, they have miso, spicy miso and tantanmen with&without soup options. This time we tried miso and spicy miso.
Price range is around ¥1100~¥1300 for these ones, so it is on the reasonable side considering the average vegan ramen pricing.
The order system is a little different than usual. First, you buy your ticket at the start of the line and you are given a number. You need to follow the screen inside the store and get your ramen from the counter once it is ready!
We had a few people before us, so after getting seated, we spent around 10 mins checking the screen and drooling (vegan options were quite popular)!
Then finally, our orders arrived. We were very glad to see they had various toppings, such as green onion, seasoned soy meat, bean sprouts, boiled greens, and crispy fried bamboo shoots. The soup was very balanced; it was neither too light nor too heavy. The noodles were slightly thicker than the usual ones, which added chewiness and great texture. And if you like spicy food, I strongly recommend spicy miso! It is not too spicy but I really liked that the amount of spice doesn't overpower the rest of the ingredients.
Overall, we definitely loved Jikasei Mensho's ramen and will definitely come back to try tantanmen!
We are planning to update this post when we do so stay tuned :)
