Amsterdam-based vegan ramen outfit Ramen Impossible makes its UK debut today, 16 June, in a summer-long pop-up at Mercato Metropolitano in London’s Elephant & Castle.

Ramen is famously made with a meat-based broth, but Ramen Impossible’s founder, Japanese chef Atsushi Ishida, has developed an alternative using miso, cashew nuts and nutritional yeast.

The brand only uses organic, European and plant-based ingredients, and its noodles are made from spelt flour. All dishes are free of MSG.

The London pop-up is being opened in collaboration with Faraz Nagree of digital food service provider Lean Kitchen Network.

He said: “We are thrilled to bring this incredible brand to London. We think you’re going to love it. We’ve worked hard on sourcing and localising the offer to make it truly sustainable and delicious.”
