Afuri Nakameguro

Vegetable Ramen Delight for Veggie Day

This was our second visit to Afuri, and we were just as impressed as the first time we dined at their Ebisu location.

I tried the veggie ramen and was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and satisfying it was. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the vegetables were almost cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the daikon radish, asparagus, broccoli, fresh tomatoes, and mizuna greens. The noodles had a great al dente texture, and the garlic added a nice kick of flavor. While there was a slight burn on some of the asparagus, overall, this was a delicious and healthy meal.

The service was friendly and courteous. The staff was helpful in answering my questions about the ingredients.

I initially planned to order the summer special: cold yuzu shio ramen because of the poster located in front of the vending machine. But I changed my mind when I learned it was Vegetable Day in Japan.

I also learned from my kid that Afuri is a place, a mountain actually. The restaurant's decor features umbrellas, which are perfect for rainy days and add a touch of charm.

We had a great experience at Afuri Naka-Meguro. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting.
