UZU Kyoto
Like the teamlab restaurant location in Tokyo, Vegan Ramen UZU Kyoto features teamLab’s artwork Reversible Rotation on the wall. A polished black table is placed around the artwork, allowing customers to enjoy vegan food while being surrounded by moving art with the same goal as the Tokyo location of creating a space for people to reflect on their food as they eat. The ramen is made by steeping a combination of ingredients, including Rausu kelp, Japanese shiitake mushrooms and vegetables, in water for 12 hours. The noodles are made using flour from Hokkaido and organic whole grain flour from the town of Aya in Miyazaki Prefecture, making this a dish using ingredients that span all of Japan. You should make a reservation in advance, since this is an original dining experience that is popular among locals and tourists alike.
