Speaking on the occasion, Mr Hirohama – Managing Director, KUURAKU India, remarked, “World over, Japanese food has gained huge popularity as consumers embrace healthy eating options and look beyond traditional dining choices to more exciting alternatives. It is heartening to learn that in the last few years we have witnessed exponential growth in Japanese restaurants. Interestingly, recent data indicate that Japanese food as their third most-favourite international cuisine behind Italian and Chinese foods! Hence adding Real Vegan “Ramen” innovation to our brand is a logical extension of our game plan in India.”
Elaborating the Real Vegan “Ramen” he added, “World over especially in US and Canada, Vegan Ramen is gaining immense popularity. These are owing to multiple reasons such as unique taste and variety and growing concern for health, safety of animals and natural environment. Most importantly, at KUURAKU, we are trying to dispel a myth that Japanese cuisines dont offer much choice for vegetarians! Also when consumers want to go light on their stomach, especially after a heavy non-veg meal, they can choose from our diverse menu. It also goes well with our semi-vegan consumers who can select our new cuisines.”
“Typically Vegan is made of special vegetable broth and plant-based milk like soy milk, spice oil, and various vegetables on top. The creamy soup is full of vegetable taste, and it perfectly matches with our homemade noodles. Importantly, there are almost no vegan or vegetarian recipes in authentic Japanese cuisine Hence after a extensive R&D including repeated trials, we have launched our range of Real Vegan Ramen,” Mr Hirohama added.
