There was the shojin ryori inspired take out spot in Akihabara, and the world fusion place in Ikebukuro.

#Dont starve wiki sweet potato plus
What I found using the Happy Cow app, plus searches on TripAdvisor, were a number of delicious vegan restaurants catering to many different tastes. And perhaps their starving vegan friends weren’t yet hip to this great site/app. I guess the non-vegans don’t know about Happy Cow, and thus don’t know about the many vegan restaurants in their midst. There had to be some compassionate souls––beyond the monks––on the island. Being that Japan is a Buddhist country, I knew the naysayers had to be wrong. When I searched Tokyo and Kyoto on the Happy Cow website I was surprised to find so many strictly vegan restaurants. It’s a truly invaluable resource (I have the app on my phone) for vegans who like to travel. It’s user driven, and there are photos, reviews, directions, hours of operation, and notes like “there is no English menu here”. Happy Cow is a website I’ve used many times to find vegan eats around the world. Then I went to the world wide web and typed in Happ圜ow.net I imagined myself sadly walking past restaurants packed with laughing full-bellied patrons I envisioned myself alone at the grocery store picking up Japanese sweet potatoes, and brown rice, that I would have to make in the tiny quarters of my Airbnb apartments––lost in translation, alone, hungry, and sad. I had my ticket, and I was going to the #1 country on my list of countries-to-visit, but I started feeling anxious about the decision to embark on a journey in a place that was supposedly vegan unfriendly.
Though I was aware of the liberal use of fish products in Japanese cuisine, I had no idea that I might encounter a frightening shortage of vegan food. Before I left to go to Japan at least 10 people warned me that it would be difficult to find vegan food even that I might be really hungry the whole trip.
