SHINBUSAKIYA Shibuya ten

There are mixed reviews, but I was curious and visited with my daughter. I arrived after 5pm, and the shop was already full — mostly international guests. I bought a food ticket at the entrance, and after waiting about 15 minutes, I was seated. The staff were always busy and not really in an atmosphere where I could ask questions, but they guided and served efficiently. I ordered the gluten-free brown rice ramen, GF & VG gyoza, and gluten-free fried chicken. The brown rice noodles have quite a firm bite — opinions may divide — and the portion was so large it was hard to finish. I was looking forward to the gyoza and chicken, but both felt like frozen foods — a bit disappointing. The gyoza filling had a small amount of frozen mixed vegetables — felt insufficient. The chicken was firm and oily. Honestly, no repeats for me. That said, having not just gluten-free but vegan and oriental vegan menu items is a plus! However, for those with celiac disease or severe allergies, cross-contamination caution may be needed. Taste is preference, but "there's something I can eat when I'm starving" — that reassurance is appreciated.

Shinbusaki (SHINBUSAKI) — supported by inbound customers as vegan ramen. Vegan, gluten-free noodles, vegetarian, 5-pungent-roots-free — clearly orderable via ticket machine. Atmosphere is "the Japanese ramen shop" — exciting! Had miso ramen — without meat or seafood, the vegetable umami and garlic created punchy stimulation with deep umami.
