Single bowls are priced at 2,500 yen, with set courses ranging from 2,800 yen to 6,800 yen.
“We want to increase the number of places in Takayama where vegans and non-vegans alike can enjoy ramen together, making the search for food during travel part of the enjoyment,” said Shinichi Kato, representative director of Creative Resort. The company plans to establish the new location as a regular evening dining option for visitors exploring the city.
