    I'm from Japan. Vegetarian Japanese know how/where to find vegetarian food.
    The problem for vegetarian foreigners in Japan is basically language/information barrier.

    I don't subscribe too much but I find your interview skills are really amazing, you are never judgemental and because you have a really strong ability to understand different accents you can always dig into the heart of the conversation and the opinions very quickly. You also always have such a cheerful and respectful way as well. It's really fantastic.

    Nice post. Well smoking is bad for you, so I'm pro Japan on that.
    I honestly don't see the smoking thing as a promblem but everyone has their vices.
    🤔 Definitely got stares for my tattoo but I think for me it was more about being a 6' black man in Kyoto but no one was rude to me or cared about me that much in Tokyo/Osaka.
    Halal is tough in Japan. Respect the fact that is truly a different country that doesn't cater to everyone but the people often try to accommodate you if you ask politely.
    There are vegetarian foods/stores but it's hard to find in Tokyo as I have found many in Kyoto.
    Nice post guys. 😆

      A quick search brings up a number of sites that will show Halal restaurants, although I can't vouch for them. But from what I've seen on the tubes and read about there does seem to be an uptick in Muslim visitors to Japan and people in Japan are treating that as an opportunity.

      If you put it that way it does sound pretty bad. I'm Dutch and I can agree you can smoke pretty much anywhere (although thats changing in some cities). Also not every city has bins placed frequently so people throw their stuff on the ground easily, especially cigarettes since you don't want to carry those around. So yeah, we should be a little cleaner but we're not the worst, many people are aware of the trash and just wait til they spot a bin

      actually, there are a lot of restaurants that are vegan or have a lot of vegan options since they have a lot of Buddhism, etc. there, and the general diet is overall more plant-based and healthy than the diet of other cultures, but you have to either know how to read kanji, know someone that lives there who is vegan and will show you around, or do your research online. These people who complain about it didn't do any of the options above...

    I’m in Japan currently, and to compare with Singapore:
    - Supermarkets don’t pack groceries for you, you have to pack it yourself
    - Cashier states price of items and number of items
    - Prices are given with and without tax, where in SG it’s just with tax (and without tax in restaurants)
    - Clean toilets even at stations
    - Lack of rubbish bins but streets are clean (there’s bins everywhere near every escalator in Singapore)
    - Vending machines and convenient stores everywhere!!
    - Quiet trains and being able to eat in it (not meals but bread etc. In Singapore, that’s not allowed at all)
    - Schedule of bus and train times and their punctuality
    - Complicated train lines and how big a station can be
    - etc etc.

    I live in Japan and I’ve only had a few culture shocks:
    -Bagging your own groceries and stuff at stores (not counting convenience stores), I was lost the first couple of times. 😂 in the US you only bag your own stuff if you do self checkout.
    -water at the table is cool. You’re less dependent on your server in Japan which I like. You can focus on your company more.
    -The way the people dressed. Everyone dresses so conservatively and covers up even in the summer, I felt so underdressed. I rarely see Japanese women in jeans, especially shorts. In the US people wear whatever they want to the store, even their pajamas. All the Japanese women I see look nice and I go out with my hair in a bun and leggings and feel out of place.
    -the toilets!!! But I enjoy the fancy toilets.

    Halal is actually quite wide available in Japan. I've been there and Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto all had halal ramen places. It's just not as abundant as in Europe but if you Google it you get lots of options (might need to travel a bit out of the city centre though). The only problem I had was in Ishigaki. Both vegetarian and halal were almost non existent there but that's expected since it's a small Island.

    My culture shock....I'm sure there has been many. What stands out to me is that a lot of the public restrooms here don't have soap to wash your hands, and sometimes, they don't have a toilet paper dispenser either. Also, most restrooms don't have paper towel dispensers and often not even a drier, so you're expected to carry around a hand towel in your bag, which doesn't seem sanitary to me. Also, there aren't garbage bins around except usually at stations and food courts, and maybe other random places. Westerners tend to walk and eat/drink more than people here, and then we have no where to toss our trash. I respect that Japan isn't like this though because it probably contributes to the cleanliness. Oh, people here are also really good about keeping outside germs out, like taking shoes off not just in houses but clinics, preschools, schools, carpeted areas. Also, I notice people rarely sit on the ground or let their belongings touch the ground, like a purse or whatever. There's always a basket or something at restaurants. Even on the train, except for wheels, nothing touches the ground. Meanwhile, I got my bags and shit everywhere, sitting on the ground waiting for my friend at Kyoto Station cuz they deliberately have NO WHERE to sit there....
    went to university in Japan and the keigo thing was confusing for me and the Japanese people, because I had switched majors and wasn't on a 4 year plan, I never knew what to respond for 何年生. Looking back, I should have just bent the truth for them and said second year and avoid the complexities....oh well.

    From the Japanese perspective, tattoos that are common to foreigners are culture shocks, but in Europe and the United States, the body is engraved on the sculpture as a beautiful body, decorating the body, ceremonially painful and not disappearing, You can understand it if you think it is an overly stressed personal value.

    T's Tan Tan restaurant in Tokyo Station is vegan,... also food at the Buddhist temples in Koyasan will be vegetarian. All the convenience stores will offer some vegetarian options (including onigiri) ... I don't think it's difficult to be vegetarian or vegan in Japan.

    • @denischadima1175
      @denischadima1175 Před 5 lety

      Nobody says there is not any vegan restaurants. In fact, vegan is not common in Japan.
      In non-vegan restaurants, it is usually difficult to change the dish for vegan because of the nature of it. Though, the amount of vegan restaurants is less 1% of all restaurants in Japan.
      By the way, Japanese people don't use TripAdvisor or yelp as many foreigners use. Japanese people use "tabelog", so TripAdvisor or yelp offer enough and exact information.
      Except chain restaurants or restaurants in tourist spots, they don't have English menu. Plus, vegan restaurants usually privately run.
      You said convenience store will offer vegitarian choices, but they don't prepare for vegitarians. I mean they don't have vegitarian section in the store and the products don't have any tags for vegitarian, so vegitarians or vegans have to judge it if it is for vegitarians or not by themselves.
      Onigiri is not necessarily for vegitarian. If anything, not for vegitarian is more common. Onigiri itself is usually vegitarian, but the ingredients is usually not for vegitarian. Plus onigiri itself is flavored itself as not for vegitarian.
      The name of products is used English, too, but the the list of ingredients is used only Japanese.
      I mean it is not very common, and it needs good Japanese skills. As a conclusion, I think it is not difficult for those who can Japanese well but so difficult the others.
      It doesn't any good for foreigner vegan and vegitarian to just explain a small part example and only good side as if it is easy...

Going to most restaurants is probably not a good strategy but in convenience stores, markets and the food basement of most major department stores you'll find plenty of options. The foreign tourists here just weren't aware of this, that's all.

      @@lo0ser555 In the US most toilets are free, if you're in the place they are for a legitimate reason. That is, eg a lot of restaurants will politely decline to allow you to use their toilet if you aren't a paying customer. The water, other supplies, real estate, insurance (the US is nothing if not litigious) and maintenance must be paid for. However, they aren't usually mean about it if you aren't. I once used a toilet without being a paying customer or asking in advance, but I offered them some money afterward and they were satisfied with the offer and didn't take the money. Sometimes restaurants here have an attendant who charges money for things like little paper towels. I do remember once going to a fair where there were pay toilets and I have vague memories of other places with pay toilets, but I think they're pretty rare here.
      Ah, memory refresher, I took a look at wikipedia and it seems that there was an organization in the 70s or so that worked to get pay toilets banned in the US. Some of those laws have been repealed and we may see the return of the pay toilet here.
