Look absolutely yummy!

Just a question - are any or all of those contain pork/meat items in it? I'm asking on behalf of some visitors who might have dietary restriction but want to try out the local food. Sometimes, we are too afraid to try because we don't know which one contain meat products.

I understand that visitors may want to be conscious about the ingredients, because of the culture, religions, or medical reasons.

Like many Japanese dishes, they contain meat products. Even when the name says "vegetable ramen", it is most likely contain broth taken from animal product. In many places, it is difficult to serve without meat.

At some restaurants, the menue may list meatless plates, or you might be able to request adjustments for you.

On this blog, we will try our best to mention the ingredients as much as we know. (meatless, kind of meat, organic, etc).

Thanks for your ideas, Lina-san.
