VEGETARIAN FOOD you will find all over JAPAN! Ramen, Sushi, Curry + VEGAN options at chains in Tokyo

We can probably all agree on one thing: Japanese food is amazing! However, it often contains meat, and as a tourist, it can be hard to find vegetarian options. But it's not hard to go meatless in Japan; you just have to know where. Paulina shows you Japanese chains that offer vegetarian options and that you can find all over the country. #veggieinjapan #vegetarian #ramen #sushi

[@khuxiong4589]

thank you so much I was so worried about going to travel one day and not finding vegetarian options in japan because i know how much they love fish

[@SM-eb6tw]

What I found living with some Japanese students at college was that their idea of vegetarian always skipped over stocks, garnishes, seasonings etc. They would say that something was vegetarian, when actually they meant with vegetables instead of meat as the main part. But 9/10 times it would still have a bone broth base, or dried fish flakes etc.

While I agree, what other options are there to trust? I can tell them no meat/fish broth but that's all I can do

[@echo71515]

@@Wra8hunfortunately it’s just not that simple, as that is likely to sound like you’re asking for vegetables but without the broth. But the vegetables would have likely been cooked in that broth anyway. You’re essentially asking to sample someone’s culture but also changing that culture - it just doesn’t work out. Especially in Japan, such care is taken to make the recipe just right, and then maintain that consistency, trying to make off-menu dietary alterations down to individual ingredient is just not going to fly.

[@Wra8h]

@@echo71515 eh, I don't know about "sampling/changing the culture". Vegetable broth is also used in Japan, if less common. And swapping/leaving out one ingredient for some customers has 0 cultural impact 😂 I get what you mean though, that they cook it in one broth. You always have the right to ask just as they have the right to refuse. I'm sure it depends especially in touristy places or if they already have "vegetarian" options.

Nice vid ! Thank u

[@linedpaper5374]

wonderful video - thank you for making and sharing!! i'll be bookmarking for the day i get to travel there. so funny, a good bowl of ramen here in california costs minimum $20, so that $9 ippudo gourmet ramen sounds (and looks) delightful.

Nice video! From japan

[@coloursofjapan]

Thank you so much for watching :-)

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Great info and style, though the audio could be better, kind of incoherent at moments. Had this great Deja Vu feeling too, I don't know why, must be me getting old...🙂

[@coloursofjapan]

Thank you so much for watching; your feedback is much appreciated 🙂 Some of the places visited were quite noisy, which can lead to audio difficulties. We're always trying to improve our content, so stay tuned for our upcoming videos :-)

[@richardbarba2736]

Wow I Love this girls look

[@ammonite400]

Are you Swedish? I have a friend from Sweden and you remind me of her :) thanks for the great video!

Going to Japan soon, I´m vegan, and gonna visit 2 of your food-spots. Thanks for the video and cheers from Berlin :) (Btw. nice music)

[@lukastemberger]

Have you been? How was it? How was the food? :)

No, I haven't been yet. I´m stil planing my trip :D

[@hegaukatze1599]

Re-upload?

[@coloursofjapan]

Hi! Thanks for watching (again). You're right, we re-uploaded the video. It was brought to our attention that the udon soup from Fujisoba, shown in the last part of the video, contains fish, so we wanted to add a content information about that. 🙂

[@schrodingers_catboy_9882]

Japanese curry always looks awful to me but as the rule of curry goes the weirder it looks the better it tastes

[@morrowdoug]

I never really trust "vegetarian" curry in Japan - it often contains chicken or beef broth. And "vegetarian" ramen often has bonito or fish sauce. Same with tamago roll.

[@meghadscsgi]

Darling why don't you try some Indian vegetarian food and let us know if we can come there....😊
