- I spent two weeks in Japan eating all the amazing vegetarian food. To my surprise, I found many options.
This is the first vlog of my Japan series and its about Vegetarian food in Japan. With a little knowledge about the overall food culture and cuisines, I could try many dishes. So, in this video, I tried covering all that and also some tips and apps.
In the end, I have also added some dishes with egg (Mostly sweets )
Below is the list of places, I dined at
Tokyo
Khana khaja Indian Nepali Asian dining & bar - Indian food
Taiyo no Tomato men - Cheese Ramen
Farmer's Kitchen - local Japanese Food
Bento Box bought from Shinjuku station.
Hotel Hakuba - Japanese Breakfast and Dinner (Buffet)
Osaka
Maharaja - Indian food
Kyoto
Mimikou - Udon
Machiya - Okonomiyaki
Nara
Takomi - Okonomiyaki
Kawaguchiko
Alladin Indo Restaurant - Indian Food
I hope this video comes handy whenever you plan to Travel to Japan.

It's my dream to go to Japan and now that I have found veg food, I feel really relived as I'm a vegetarian.
Shard Shrama I am so glad about that and there are so many more options that I may have not covered too. It’s just that you need patience to find out the things and a little knowledge of what you can actually eat or what can be made vegetarian 😀 really wish that you get to go to Japan soon! It’s a country like no other 🙏
@@Littlethingswedo thanks for the motivation!
@@jayanthikrishnan2000 I love BTS!!!💜💜💜💜
Me too bro😃
bro i am thinking of going to japan after corona virus but im all alone so if you want to go then we can go together
Needed this video coz my bf and I planning to visit Japan and he’s vegetarian! Thank you
sajcupcake pleasure!!! Also try for Buddhist places or temples where they usually serve vegetarian food!!! Hope you have a wonderful trip and I am glad you found it useful
How was ur trip bruh??
I also unknowingly feel scared about eating beef abroad so I eat vegetarian, I liked your video very much.
Thankyou so much. Yes the fear is always there but having said that you can definitely download the app like happy cow for the vegan restaurants and secondly read about the vegetarian food culture of the place - it does really help. Like I discovered that mochi and dangos are made with only rice so no worry on that and bento boxes have clear ingredients list written behind so it was also safe. Japan’s food even when you can’t try all of it - and have to settle with only a few things is really good
Now I'm 17 & planning to visit Japan as soon as I can ! 😅
You would love it ❤️ it’s an amazing country. Good luck Ratul
because of anime right😏😏😏
I m literally in love with japan...now I can fearlessly go to Japan one day for sure❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You would love it I am so sure! Japan is a beautiful country. Plan around cherry blossom or fall season and be ready to get swayed 🥰🥰 for any help - ask me away
Okonomiyaki and Tempura batters are usually made from flour and eggs. Okonomiyaki/ Ramen might be topped with Narutomaki, which is made from white fish paste. Also, sauces accompanying food may have fish/oyster/meat sauces in them.
For those who are strictly vegetarian, ask the chef to skip everything from eggs to fish or search for indian/vegan options when in Japan.
Arent buddhists supposed to be non violent? I missed something, i guess. Seems like they eat a lot of non vegetarian food.
@@sheetalverma8940 People in Japan are not that religious. Some follow buddhism, some follow shintō. The prime source of food is sea food! Not all buddhist are vegetarians!
Naan in Japan has eggs
Flour and eggs are vegetarian. Most people I feel have realistic limits to their diet. For example, I would consider a little meat sauce on my food minimal since at even American restaurants everything you consume is cooked in beef oil.
@@goeticfolklore not from Indian standpoint --> religious reason for hindos (and sikhs to some extent). It's not your responsibility to tell another culture what is right or wrong.
Another tip is to look for Shojin Ryori, Japanese temple food. There are some amazing vegan dishes/meals I stumbled on asking around for shojin ryori cuisine. I want to go back to Japan so bad haha.
That’s a really good tip. Thankyou so much. I will keep this in mind when next time I travel to Japan (hopefully soon)
@@Littlethingswedo Japans borders are still closed😭

If you’re in any tourist area it’s pretty easy to find. If you’re in rural areas I’d say go for temple dishes as your only real reliable option.

Vegan is very healthy and happy. I have been vegan for 50 years. I have not seen a doctor at all. I hope that foreign friends will come to Taiwan to eat vegan. I wish you vegan health and happiness. Any wish and good wish can be achieved.

Congratts fantastico video Enhorabuena por tu canal!

@@Littlethingswedo wher do you live
Thank you 🙏🏽
My absolute pleasure 🙏
Nice video
I am vegetarian too.... TFS... joined u.
Joined right back! thanks :)
My partner is vegetarian and I am not - I eat seafood and chicken. We cook only vegetarian at home and I love it, so much more than when I used to cook with meat. Anyone who thinks eating vegetarian is boring or can't sustain then is incredibly ignorant. Its so much easier to cook vegetarian and encourages you to find new and interesting recipes all the time. My skills at cooking, my knowledge and understanding of food has expanded so much since I started cooking vegetarian. If we go out and I eat not-vegetarian its a total treat and that's a nice positive to it also. We love love Japanese food and it usually caters to vegetarians here so we can't eat it whenever we want, but I've always worried/thought that may not be the case in actual Japan. We've been wanting to travel there, but I was worried my partner would not be able to find much vegetarian food to eat! its an issue we had while travelling in Europe, funnily enough though we found wherever we were if we could find a Japanese restaurant we could find vegetarian food. Watching this video has given me hope that yes she will be able to find good food to eat when we eventually go to Japan, thank you!!
I had the same worries before travelling to Japan but I was happy to have found enough to sustain my travel of two weeks. A little bit of research before travelling to a place like this is essentially helpful. It can actually help you to survive and find new avenues. Your girlfriend would find many interesting dishes in Japan and I am sure you guys would absolutely love Japan. Its indeed one of the most unique and beautiful places in the world. And yes, vegetarian food has many many many varieties and you can never get bored of trying new things :)
HI Swati all your videos are simply best. Well executed and amazing content. wow. Keep up ... seeing all your videos... budding tuber
Thanks a ton. It really means a lot. Supporting you back
The mochi at 3:20 has a little yellow powder on it called kinako , roasted soy flour, very delicious and also vegan!
Oh thanks for the information! It was indeed very delicious
God i wanna visit Japan so bad! 😍❤️✨
I truly wish you make it soon. It is an amazing country. Dropping another video this weekend. Watch it if you have time :)
❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
Nice video madam . so nice vegetarian food also available in Japan
Yes, it’s very much available 😊 Thankyou so much for watching
Awesome sweetheart
Thankyou so much :*
Thanks mam, as a pure veg I doubt if I can travel to Japan. But this video makes me happy :^).
Actually food shouldn’t be the hindrance if you are just going to travel for a couple of days. You will be able to survive in Japan easily I bet.
If you ever plan, write to me - I will help you plan so that you have no problems
@@Littlethingswedo Thank you so much. Will definitely contact if I plan someday. 💫🙌🏼
😌
This was really nice now i can think of going to japan.
I am not a vegan but eat saatvik food. Japanese dont really seem to have a lot of milk food items like we have, thats alright i will take my personal curd and can drink milk separately there.
Vegan seems delicious, japanese culture is very foreign to me but these vegan versions of them would be enough to make me taste real japanese food.
I always wanted to try ramen the one which is made in japan, by the japanese with raw japanese products and not the top ramen that we get in india.
Though i dont like miso much, it tasted sour but i will manage. I always wanted to visit japan once.
Yaayyyy!!! I will add japan to my tourism list now. Thank god they have such options for indian tourists like me.❣️❣️❣️😋😋😋 i am really gonna try this mochi/moshi thing. It looks very delicious.
You know as the whole world is turning into vegan and vegetarian, most of the Asian countries like Japan & Hongkong are also adapting! ‘The happy cow’ app can actually guide you to some of the vegetarian restaurants and even Japanese vegetarian restaurants! Some things like mochi and Dangos are easily available road side too - that can be eaten without worrying for sure and then the Indian restaurants are never too far! Infact the bento box was also my absolute fav! Japan is a country like no other - trains, people, culture, temples are just out worldly and I am sure you would have a fantastic time there! Write to me if you need any help in planning 🙌🏻
The best mochi is Jimin. Fight me
when she was having the mochi i instantly thought of jimin too lol
@@Yogeshwarisirsikar 😁😆😂
Yeah I agree.
Good no Nov veg like fish meet eggnog please cookhome
I am Indian. You are looking so sweet. And your video is so amazing.
Thankyou so much 🤗
When she said mochi jimin immediately came in my mind
Haha
Where in Japan did you find that cheese potato hotdog? My spouse would loooove that.
Jessica Champagne hey this one we found in Harajuku next to Santa Monica crepes 😍 it was yummy 😋
I am 16 and planning to go japan on my 18th birthday for solo trip 🤍
I wish you good luck and I am sure you will love it! It’s one of my favourite countries ❤️
Solo trip I am hoping you to allow to join me 😌 friend
life saver
So glad I could be of help 🙌🏻
Visited .In cherry blossoms seasons..Tasted most of veg food
Sudarshan Mandlecha wow !!! Bingo. I also visited during that time and it was mindblowing and the food was just wow. Which one was your fav ?
@@Littlethingswedo I ate tempura ,Mochi ,tofu,Japanese rice,(veg Japanese dish)first time ate warbimochi (brown jelly type fruit ),all flavors of KitKat ,chest nuts ,visited many Indian restaurant ,and tourist places Tokyo, kyto, Osaka,Nara,Hiroshima,hakone,mt Fuji
अच्छी और उपयोगी जानकारी

God bless
Anywhere desis go, they gotta try desi food!!😁
Haha!!! Can’t go without trying it for long 🙈🙈
Okoni the second dish was made just on the table where they made nkn veg food just beside veg dish .
You can ask them to wipe it clean and if they understand they would do! That’s why going to places or having an app to translate comes handy! Also, just because it’s made in front we have got to know - don’t know what happen in the closed kitchens when we order the veg food isn’t ?
I like only vegetarian. Ia a South Indian Brahmin. Excellent post.
Wow! That’s amazing. At my parents home we don’t eat or get onion and garlic
@@Littlethingswedo That’s great. We too don’t eat Garlic or Mushrooms. We eat only Eggless Cake. I am a S.Indian orthodox Brahmin in Bangalore.
Ram yon~
Excellent 🙏just love it 😍
Thanks so much
Nice video super 😊👌👌👌👌👌👌
thanks a ton
@@Littlethingswedo welcome
🌷😊🌸
And when you get bored eating this food, you go back home. 😂😂😂
Lol! True that 😀
@@Littlethingswedo Here in US, there's no vegetarian American food as such, but I do get to eat vegetarian Indian, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Italian, sandwich, and pizza. Vegetarian options depend on where you are located but one can get by in the big cities and do pretty well if one is ready to drive far for food.
@@ParagPandit I agree to that! In some countries especially Asian - like Japan and Taiwan, I experienced that to have veg food you really need to put an effort! If you are ok to do that - you will get veg food!
Go veg!!!! Go Green!!!
Hi five to that
Quality video 😍 appreciate 👍
Suresh Markam thank you so much! I am humbled 🙏
Price bhi mention krna chahiye tha aapko sbka...in Indian rupees...

Oh I am sure you will soon 😀 keep making that bucket list 🙌🏻 good luck
@@yume693 me too
Could you please share which hotels your stayed at? I'm interested since you said both you stayed at had good vegetarian breakfast :) thank you!
Sarah Sullivan let me know the cities you planning to travel- can guide you then 😃
Thank you for these suggestions!
May I ask if one is visiting Japan for the first time, what places/cities would you recommend?
It really depends on the kind of vibe you are looking for! For the first timers - it would definitely be Kyoto and Tokyo coupled with a few day trips or overnight trips! How many days are you planning?
@@Littlethingswedo Thank you for your reply.
I am planning for 10 days' trip.
@@akritiishere Japan has two most beautiful seasons - cherry blossom 🌸 and autumn 🍂 if you are going for that then your itinerary would be entirely different and otherwise it would be different. Keep Kyoto and Tokyo and may be two overnight trips to places like Kawaguchiko and hakone
@@Littlethingswedo Thank you for your quick responses!
I will surely add all these tips in mind and the foods you mentioned in my list to eat.
Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.
@@akritiishere happy to help in whatever way I can 😀
Nice
Thankyou Ji 🙏
@@Littlethingswedo I’ve been to Japan some 15 times in the past 20 years and thanks to Subway for saving me a few times. I also ate karaage, okonomiyaki and those fattening red bean and custard buns. So all those also helped. But this is the most comprehensive vegetarian meal video I’ve seen. Saved it. Thanks for doing ji
@@blueplanettrips I am actually flattered. Thanks once again. The video indeed is serving it’s purpose! I myself was little unsure about the vegetarian food scene of Japan! It’s difficult for sure but not impossible to get veg food in Japan. 🙏😃
Woowwwwww a Yrrrrr japan my dream place woowwwwww
It’s actually a very dreamy place. Very unique and beautiful ❤️really hope you can make here soon
