Jikasei MENSHO

What an amazing experience! Hands down one of the best bowls of ramen I’ve had in my life, and top three so far on my trip. They had a few vegan options with some of the yummiest and flavorful Broths. Smaller searing area, but cozy and fun. It’s in the basement of a major shopping mall. Easy to find, and lots of other restaurants down there. The cost of two bowls and two yuzu drinks is less than the cost of one bowl back in San Diego!

We came just after they opened at 11am. There was no queue, so we were able to order and get seated right away. We ordered the signature A5 wagyu tori paitan ramen in both the truffle and yuzu versions. Both broths were creamy without being overly rich. I preferred the yuzu as it was more refreshing and balanced out the creaminess nicely. Each bowl came with 2 thin slices of wagyu chashu. Tender, but the meat portion was really small. You can add 2 more thin slices for 500 yen, though I'm not sure how worth it that is. Was it tasty? Sure. Would I come back? Probably not. For the amount of meat you get, I feel there are better options at the same price point. Staff were helpful and friendly though.

Amazing ramen restaurant that has unique flavors. This was the best ramen that is completely vegan! Their spicy miso ramen and the tantanmen was amazing. The flavors and taste were exquisite. The only drawback is waiting in line for a loooooooong time. But it is definitely worth the wait. It is in B1 floor of Parco mall

We found this place as we were looking for a ramen restaurant with both vegan and meat options. Honestly these were our favourite ramens we had during three weeks in Japan and we came back on our last day. The vegan ramens were both delicious - I had the tantanmen and the spicy miso. My partner said the wagyu ramens he tried were amazing and unique: he tried the truffle wagyu ramen and the yuzu wagyu ramen. Service was quick even though there quite a queue as this place is clearly popular! Good value for money.

We visited Jikasei MENSHO on the evening of June 16, 2026, and it was the best ramen experience I have ever had. I have tried ramen at around 30 different places in Japan and other countries, and this restaurant takes first place for me. We ordered the vegan tantanmen and spicy vegan miso ramen. Both were delicious. The flavours made this one of the most memorable meals of our Japan trip. As a vegetarian, finding vegan ramen that tastes this good made the experience even more special. I would happily recommend both dishes to anyone visiting Shibuya. Months later, I still remember this meal and want to return. Jikasei MENSHO will be one of my first stops on my next visit to Tokyo. I could eat here again and again. Five stars!
