​​The city’s first fully vegan ramen shop, Umami is where Japanese bistronomy meets cruelty-free creativity. Everything here is made in-house, from organic-wheat noodles to broths, kombucha, and even pickled tsukemono. The menu reimagines izakaya staples like okonomiyaki, gyozas, and agedashi tofu in vegan form, alongside tempeh tonkatsu and desserts. True to its izakaya spirit, there’s also a thoughtful list of sake, natural wines, and cocktails. Umami is the perfect cozy spot for slurping noodles, sipping saké, and discovering how good vegan Japanese can be.
