Jikasei MENSHO

"JIKASEI MENSHO," a Shibuya branch of the MENSHO group, is located on B1F of Shibuya PARCO in Udagawacho, a 6-minute walk from Shibuya Station on the JR Yamanote Line. This brand, which also operates stores overseas, is renowned for its diverse menu catering to vegan and halal diets. One of its signature dishes, the "Vegan Tantanmen" (¥1200), delivers a remarkably rich and satisfying "meat miso" sensation without using any meat, alongside ample noodles and toppings. The "Spicy Vegan Miso Ramen" features thick, wavy vegan noodles with a uniquely smooth and chewy texture, harmoniously paired with a rich miso soup boasting fragrant spices and a spicy kick. Meanwhile, dishes showcasing Japanese ingredients such as the "A5 Wagyu Tori Paitan Ramen with White Truffle Aroma" (¥1250) and "A5 Wagyu Tori Paitan Ramen with Yuzu Aroma" (¥1350) are equally popular. These bowls feature a creamy tori paitan (chicken broth) base where the high-quality fat of A5 Wagyu (Japanese beef) naturally melts and enriches the flavor. The delicate finish, with truffle oil or yuzu (Japanese citrus) aroma, provides a refreshing aftertaste, resulting in a perfectly crafted dish where super-fine noodles beautifully entwine with the soup. Over half of the clientele are international tourists, and the shop stands as a valuable choice in Shibuya, offering halal options, English menus, and English support on touch panels to accommodate diverse dining preferences. The shop operates on a self-pickup system: customers purchase meal tickets from a touch-panel vending machine and collect their orders at the counter when their number is called. All major payment methods, including credit cards, electronic money, and QR code payments, are accepted, ensuring convenience for international travelers. As the shop's irregular closing days align with PARCO's business schedule, it is advisable to confirm operating hours before your visit.
