AFURI Ebisu

Every time we come to tokyo we go to afuri, affordable and quick, the presentation alone is a feast. The noodles are savoury and made in shop, the staff is friendly and you can customize your ramen from A to Z from more meat to having a creamier broth, they'll even ask you if you want hard or soft noodles. I took the yuzu ramen which is has a chicken broth base and fragrant notes of yuzu, the noodles were nice they're generous with the garnishing ingredients and the chashu is always really well charred and has a nice smokey taste. My girlfriend took the vegan ramen option which is one of their selling points. Vegan or vegetarian ramen are starting to be more available in japan however they often lack in flavour or dont have a wide vegetable selection. This ramen is so colorful it's eye-catching. They use a huge variety of vegetables and the broth is so delicious that you will not be missing meat. Even the noodles are special vegan noodles made from wheat and lotus root. Also recommend to go there early because there is ALWAYS a line-up
