Ramen, a Japanese version of Chinese noodles in soup, has recently become extremely popular in Japan. Unfortunately, ramen shops are never a possibility for vegetarians though because chicken/bones/meat/fish are always used to make the soup. Similarly, all Japanese instant ramen available in supermarkets contains animal products. However, you can buy fresh ramen noodles and make your own soup, and health food shops and international grocery stores often stock veg-friendly instant ramen. The other two kinds of noodle shops you'll see everywhere are udon (thick flat noodles) and soba (buckwheat noodles), but when served hot, the soup always contains fish or meat. Cold soba could be a possibility if you skipped the soba dipping sauce and used soy sauce instead. Of course, like ramen, you can easily make it yourself.
