Kyushu Jangara: vegan ramen within a wider ramen menu

Vegan Shoyu and Vegan Black Garlic Oil are explicitly named vegan choices. The regular tonkotsu noodles are described separately and contain egg white; do not substitute them into a vegan order without checking.

Vegan Shoyu and Vegan Black Garlic Oil are explicitly named vegan choices. The regular tonkotsu noodles are described separately and contain egg white; do not substitute them into a vegan order without checking.

The company and its food concept

Kyushu Jangara is a ramen group with a history dating to 1984. Its official menu presents several pork-bone styles alongside a separate plant-based section, making dish selection particularly important for a mixed-diet group.

How to order and what to ask

Specify the vegan item and ask the branch about today’s availability. If you also avoid onion or garlic, ask about the separately stated five-pungent-vegetable option rather than assuming all vegan bowls qualify.

  • Order the specifically labelled dish; other dishes may contain animal ingredients.
  • Availability and recipes can vary by branch and season.
  • Shared preparation equipment may be used. Check with the branch.

Keep vegan and halal checks separate

Halal status remains unconfirmed in this guide. A vegan recipe alone does not establish alcohol-free preparation or halal certification. If avoiding a particular ingredient is essential, describe that ingredient directly to the branch and ask about sauces, stock and shared equipment. We have not conducted an on-site inspection or an allergy assessment.
