Hi Bill,
No the stock didn't contain any pork or any other dead animal. I say" didn't" coz the veggie ramen is now off the menu. I think they've got some other things on the menu but they aren't vegetarian.
Personally I thought it was good to have it as an option and its good that they are recognizing vegetarians more and more throughout Japan but the actual ramen was over-priced and fairly light weight food- I would need at least 3 portions to fill me up. Also it's Ok to take the meat out of food but the protein needs to be replaced by an alternative source such as tofu, bean based or from a dairy source. If you find any other places serving vegetarian anything, I would be very interested to hear about it.

Vegetarian Christmas Dinner in Tokyo
Head Down to Paddy Foley's in Roppongi for a great-looking vegetarian Christmas Dinner.
Here is what the veggie menu looks like
Tofu & Veggie Satay (With veggie Spring Rolls)
Marinated tofu and veggies cooked to perfection and served with veggie spring rolls and a peanut-coconut sauce.

It's 4500 Yen a shot and is served from 22nd to 25th Dec.

Probably the best vegetarian restaurants has to be “It's Vegetable” in Kinshicho.

Importing most of its fare from Taiwan you can get a whole range of vegetarian food with some witty translations ("intestine filled with vegetarian diet" (veggie sausage), for example).

All foods are 100% vegetarian (something the owner takes great pleasure in explaining to customers) but not all the dishes are vegan. There is a buffet all you can eat lunch which is 1500 yen. A little pricey (except for the reasonable priced beer) but definitely worth a visit.

Turn right out of the North exit of Kinshicho Station (on the Sobu line). Walk down the street following the tracks. Cross the main street. It's on the right.

There's a good tofu restaurant in Akasaka. It offers vegetarian options.

Called Tofu-ya you can find it from the Chiyoda line exit 2. Great for lunches. Tofu-ya, 3-5-2 Akasaka (Sanyo Akasaka Building, 1st Floor), Minato-ku; 3582-1028.

From the Akasaka-Mitsuke subway station, walk toward the Sanno Shita intersection; at the corner before the intersection make a right, then a left. The restaurant is on the left side of this narrow, no-name street. Open 11:30 A.M. to 1 P.M. and 5 to 11 P.M. Monday to Friday; closed weekends and holidays.
