Ramen Hajime came with one of the highest-quality vegan ramen I've ever seen. Your menu in fact offers a few vegan friendly options and even tagged what sauces and toppings are vegan friendly. Other restaurants must follow this direction. Hajime means starting in Japanese, and I love the concept of starting a more healthy, plant-based lifestyle at least with options in restaurants that are traditionally filled with meat. They offer two vegan options. I went with the Kiwami Vegan, who take their deluxe vegan with a soy-based broth with vegetables, graceful meat (a mock meat brand from Japan apparently), a tangy Yuzu sauce, comminuted cashews and whole grain noodles. It is essentially a scam meal for plant-based eaters like me and I was definitely here for it. You can adjust it with other toppings (including tofu) and adjust it to the spicy level. The ramen was hearty and was just the right amount of soy curry taste I really enjoy. It was not excessively salty (but even higher in sodium as it was from a restaurant) but the flavors wetted really well. I just wish there were more vegetables, but no complaints here with such an incredible bowl of ramen. We also split her edamame and Graceful meats that were both delicious apps. Our server was the sweetest Japanese lady who was attentive, playful and a pleasure to be. Love her!
