Afuri - Shinjuku is a small ramen bar located in the basement of the Lumine Mall, known for its single but well-regarded vegan ramen option. The venue offers a casual, efficient dining experience with ordering via a multilingual ticket machine and seating around a bar, attracting both locals and tourists, especially at peak times when lines form. While pricing is mid-range to slightly above average for Japan, the fresh ingredients and flavorful broth make it a popular stop for vegans and non-vegans alike.
