Afuri Shinjuku is a small ramen bar located in the basement of the Lumine shopping mall, known for its single vegan ramen option with a light yuzu-flavored broth and fresh vegetable toppings. Customers order via a multilingual ticket machine before sitting at a counter with about 15-20 seats, creating a quick turnaround dining environment typical of busy Tokyo ramen shops. The vegan ramen has earned particular praise for its balance of flavors and chewiness, though some find the broth milder compared to other vegan ramen in the city.
