Looking for a vegan-friendly ramen in Kagoshima?
A legendary name in the city’s ramen scene, Komurasaki has just unveiled an exciting new addition to its menu—Vegan Yakuzen Mala Ramen, a bold and flavorful bowl that blends over 70 years of ramen mastery with a modern, inclusive twist.
Founded in 1950, Komurasaki has been a beloved staple for locals and tourists alike.

With this launch, Komurasaki continues to honor its deep-rooted traditions while embracing food diversity and health-conscious dining.

Yakuzen Mala Ramen
What’s in the Vegan Yakuzen Mala Ramen?
This is no ordinary bowl of noodles. The ramen features medium-thick straight noodles—a Komurasaki classic—made without eggs, paired with a soy milk-based broth. The soup is carefully crafted from shiitake mushrooms and kombu (kelp), long-used in their kitchen, to deliver a rich, umami-packed depth you wouldn’t believe is completely plant-based.
To elevate the experience, Komurasaki adds their house-made Yakuzen Mala sauce, bringing a gentle but invigorating heat, aromatic spices, and a warming sensation that lingers in the best way. It’s the kind of bowl that satisfies both the body and the soul.
A Message from the Owner
Driven by the desire to create food that brings people together regardless of beliefs, culture, or dietary practices, the owner shares:
“This is a bowl I’d love for everyone to try—those who follow specific dietary rules, those who enjoy a spicy kick, those seeking healthier options, and of course, all the customers who have supported Komurasaki over the years.”
Their vision? “World peace through the dining table.” And this ramen is a beautiful, spicy step in that direction.
