MOON and BACK

The food was so good. The gluten free ramen was perfect. The chicken broth was rick and flavorful. And the gluten free vegan dumplings were tasty and as good as regular dumpling. It’s a new Resturant and a little hard to find, on the 3rd floor with just a small sign on the street. The interior is... bright and pleasant. I hope they do well.

Second location, Nishiki Market Alley by Moon & Back, opened in September, met all our needs! We were looking for ramen that included vegetarian options. Google sent us to Moon & Back (ground level, easy to find). They were booked out, but suggested we walk on to their new premises (upstairs, not we...ll signed, we walked past initially). It was great advice. It was early in the evening and the place was new, so it wasn't crowded. Options were good. The spicy tandan vegetarianramen conquered me, but I was warned.

This restaurant offers both meat and vegan options, although I opted for the latter - a spicy tandan ramen with tofu. It was SO delicious that I made a second visit a few days later. Unlike traditional ramen, the broth is very thick and creamy, which I actually prefer as there’s less splashing (or ...perhaps that’s just me and my poor chopstick skills). It was really tasty, the perfect level of spiciness, and super filling. The staff were really lovely and helpful. I only tried the peach sour, but there were loads of cocktails and drinks available, plus a range of deserts - sadly, I was too full to try any but they looked great. It was a really lovely vibe, couples and solo travellers like myself were sat at the bar, which was great for watching the chefs in action, and there’s a cosy seating area for larger groups too. Really loved both visits here and would highly recommend!

We had to queue up for around 30 mins. to get into the restaurant but it was well worth it. I was in Japan for two weeks and this was my most memorable meal! My ramen was delicious and the fried tofu was scrumptious. My friend is a vegan and was really happy that they had options for him - both main... meals and desserts! I would highly recommend this place. The melon soda topped with ice cream is a must too!
