The bright shop space inviting customers

It takes about 10 minutes from the Shibuya Station walking straight on the Meiji-dori Avenue.

Reimen noodles are often served in Korean BBQ restaurants.

However we heard that an authentic Morioka Reimen noodle shop serving a variety of vegan noodles was newly open in Shibuya and we visited there this time.

Female customers came to the modern white restaurant space one after another during our visit.

As Reimen has less oily compared to Ramen noodles, they come here to have more healthy lunch.

The display of ticket machine shows the vegetarian icon, which is very handy!

Does the vegetarian icon mean that a variety of vegetarian noodles is available?

Wow, actually 8 vegan noodles are available!

Typical toppings for Morioka Reimen are kimchi and a slice of water melon. But try other menu in TSURUSHIKO! The concept is “Tokyo Reimen” with unique soup and toppings.

We had the most popular Italian style noodle. Morioka Reimen fits any styles!

We ordered “Tomato Basil Reimen” (1100 yen including tax). This noodle can be served in hot. If you are hungry or Reimen lover, have a large portion paying additional 150 yen.

We also had deep-fried soy meat “Soy Kara” (350 yen including tax).

The noodles made with Hokkaido potato starch and Iwate wheat flour.

Its smooth and chewy noodles are created based on the decades of improvement efforts using the natural spring water of Iwaizumi in Iwate Prefecture famous for “Ryusendo” which is ranked among the top 100 springs in Japan.

For the toppings, black olives, lotus root and courgette are used.

Taste the soy milk soup at first to enjoy rich vegetable stock!

Tangy taste of dried tomato sauce and basil sauce are gradually penetrated in the soup and you can enjoy its changing flavour.

We just wonder why nobody tried Morioka Reimen noodles in Italian style before. They suit very well Italian tastes.

It has completely changed what we thought about Morioka Reimen.

For its rich soup, the shop takes time to extract broth by slowly simmering stir-fried vegetables. Using steam pan allows to gently warm the ingredients and to get the flavour for soup.

The shop gets soy milk from the Heian Shoten in Iwate.

They want to provide an environment to enjoy healthy eating a few times a month to those who have unhealthy eating habits. Thus most of their menus can be adapted to vegan.
