Recommended bowl: Vegan Tantanmen

Located in the heart of JR Tokyo Station, T’s Tantan is one of the city’s easiest to access vegan ramen options. A ramen-focussed spinoff of T's Restaurant, a popular vegan eatery and health food emporium in Jiyugaoka, the shop offers various ramen dishes entirely free of animal product, including spicy tantanmen, shoyu and tomato based soups, with toppings ranging from faux-minced meat made from soy to kabocha squash, pumpkin seeds, leafy greens, bean sprouts and more. The shop markets itself as a mainstream eatery for health-conscious Tokyo denizens of all stripes. What the restaurant lacks in authentic ethos, it makes up for in accessibility and service to the meat-free crowd.

Location Note: The shop is located inside the ticket gates of JR Tokyo Station, at the end of the Keiyo Street shopping parade on the way to the Keiyo Line platform.
