Vegan Ramen at "Ramen Kame-o

In order for more people to enjoy Japanese tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen - Development Background

Ramen Kame-O" is a popular ramen restaurant that serves melt-in-your-mouth "homemade Chaashu" and has a lineup of products such as Tonkotsu Ramen, Tomatora Ramen, and Abura Soba (fried buckwheat noodles).

The development of the vegan menu was triggered by the fact that in 2019, before the new coronavirus epidemic, our CEO Ohsato spent a year eating at more than 100 ramen stores in the U.S. He saw that all of them had vegan menus, and that even those who cannot eat animal products were enjoying their ramen. I was inspired by the sight of people who could not eat animal products enjoying their ramen.

As you know, animal ingredients are essential for pork ramen. However, I was shocked by the taste of the ramen I tasted in the U.S., which was so delicious that I could not believe that no animal ingredients were used.

The number of foreign visitors to Japan was already increasing year after year, and we began developing new products in response to the growing demand for vegan menus. After three years of development, we have finally completed the product and will start selling it at our Morinomiya branch, which is located near Osaka Castle and is expected to attract many foreign customers.

We are confident that this new product was developed with the sole intention of making the delicious taste of Japanese tonkotsu ramen available not only to vegans and vegetarians, but also to those who cannot eat tonkotsu ramen for health reasons such as allergies, animal welfare, or religious reasons.

The specialties of this restaurant specializing in Tonkotsu Ramen

We have combined dozens of ingredients in pursuit of the ideal flavor, aiming for "a ramen that is more like Tonkotsu Ramen than Tonkotsu Ramen made with Tonkotsu bones. We have developed a rich and deep flavor like the original Tonkotsu Ramen that uses animal ingredients, and a satisfying ramen that leaves you feeling not at all satisfied.

The speciality of Kame-O is "Cha-A-Shu". Chaashu is one of the essential toppings for ramen. Using a unique manufacturing method, we have recreated a hearty and satisfying texture and flavor without pork and with vegetable ingredients.

Vegan Chaashu

Vegan chashu is also available without ingredients such as chives, garlic, rakkyo, onions, and leeks. Oriental vegans, who do not eat plant-based ingredients with strong smells and pungent aromas, can also enjoy our dishes.

Gluten-free products are not available.

Products containing animal products are manufactured at the manufacturing plant and stores.

*This product is not intended for those who aim for complete vegetarianism.
