Moon and Back Ramen Bar & Brunch Cafe is a casual Japanese ramen spot in Kyoto with notable vegan and gluten-free offerings, including spicy vegan tandan ramen and creamy soy milk ramen. The venue is popular for accommodating dietary restrictions with friendly service and fun interactive dining experiences like table-side blowtorch cooking for meat dishes. While prices are mid-range and sometimes viewed as a bit high for portion sizes, the quality, presentation, and variety of vegan dishes stand out in a city where such options are rare.
