Thank you for your patience.
Our curry is back, reworked and now offered in a wider variety.
After time spent refining the recipe, it returns with deeper, bolder flavors and a more balanced finish.
From tomorrow.

The question is always:
How do we make a vegan dish as exciting, or even more exciting, than its meat-based counterparts?
It’s a persistent challenge, but one ingredient consistently shines: Mushrooms.
From pine and porcini to the decadence of truffle, their umami and aroma reach a profound depth that meat simply can’t touch.
This deep flavor profile is how this special bowl was born.
Introducing our signature Vegan Truffle Ramen
- elegantly finished with a light vegan
“cappuccino” foam and delicate truffle carpaccio.
It has become one of our most beloved vegan creations, featuring the rich, earthy punch of truffle melting into our creamy, house-made vegan broth.
This bowl, a true testament that “vegan” can be sumptuously indulgent, is returning to Shinmachi this Monday the 3rd of November.
