Vegetablian Tokyo 35 - Vegetarian Ramen in Yokohama

We went to the Ramen Museum in Shin-Yokohama featureing lots of vegetarian / vegan Ramen!! For Veggies who like Ramen this is definitely a must go:) You can check out their website for a list of shops featuring vegetarian Ramen, the list is even in English: http://www.raumen.co.jp/english/#manual You pay an entrance fee of 310Yen. Basically the museum's inside is styled like in old Japan and several famous Ramen shops from all over the country are presented there. The shops sometimes change, but there is always a variety of Veggie Ramen. We had veggie Ramen at "Narumi Ippudo" and at "Komurasaki". Narumi Ippudo's ramen had a very light broth and were finished in no time as we took the "Mini-Ramen". At Komurasaki we took a "Compare veggie with non-veggie set" for 1,240Yen with a bowl of both versions. If you have some meat eater with you this is definitely recommendable! I enjoyed Komurasaki quite much, the soup is a bit heavier than Narumi. Then there is "Muku Zweite" a shop that originated in Germany and came to Japan afterwards! The veggie Ramen are Miso based and really good! Actually I ate those in Frankfurt. I definitely want to go again and try all the other vegetarian Ramen!

Vegetablian Tokyo 34 - Vegetarian Falafel in Shibuya

Close to my favortite live house in Shibuya a friend took me to a kebab place, called 'Cleopatra Kebab'. They serve delicious falafel for 500¥. Fortunately it is open until late at night (or rather early morning, I only saw it closed once because of a holiday), so it is the perfect place to drop by when you are out in Shibuya at night and search for something vegetarian to eat, which really can turn out tricky between all the meaty ramen places....

P.S. The falafel itself is vegan, too. You should check about the sauce though. But I am sure it also tastes good if you need to leave out the sauce!

P.P.S. When you are around in that area anyway, you should check out the lovely bar/live house called 'Ruby Room'. I especially recommend tuesday nights, but you will surely have a great time any other night, too! :)
