I found that as a vegan in Japan, it was very challenging. It was a challenge to determine what was vegan or not, as sometimes items called "veggie burgers" just had chopped veg in them. It was a challenge (at first) to read labels. When I was hospitalised, and had been promised no meat, fish, etc. (they could actually only do vegetarian), my soup had chikuwa in it. "Ah, we thought you meant whole big pieces, is ground up not okay?" Or the time I checked about a pasta very carefully - no meat, no beef, no pork, no poultry, no horse - and it came with bacon. The waitress said that I hadn't asked about bacon, and she didn't think bacon was meat. It was a social challenge, with a society where it can be rude to refuse food offered. Sometimes people didn't know, but sometimes friends also forgot - and there's no delicate way out. If I refuse to eat the surprise birthday cake, of course they're hurt but also embarrassed for forgetting. If I eat it, they'll eventually remember and feel so bad about it, too! Or trying to tell wait staff not to bring the little pots of milk and syrup for my coffee because it's a waste... but understanding that to other customers or their colleagues it looks like they forgot and are providing bad service, so it's trouble for them... Which is I guess what causes people to find vegetarianism or veganism childish. My moral values were regularly put to the test by people I didn't know very well, especially as my language ability increased. I was genuinely insulted a few times, even once being told that I should just stop eating anything and die if I had a problem with some foods. Occasionally it was a safety issue, as with work you need to go out drinking. If sliced tomatoes were the only vegan item on the menu, and you must drink, then you get too drunk too easily. But there are so many happy food memories, too. I loved picnics at hanami where I always brought a big picnic basket of food and everyone Japanese could try some new vegan things, and there was no pressure to try everything. I loved having big home parties at Christmas time, where everyone could forget about romance and I'd cook around fifteen different dishes. And I loved making my own, full New Year's dishes, as many recipes are traditionally vegan anyway, but aren't done vegan anymore commercially. I always did a full 5-tier set, spending around 4 days to prepare and cook everything. It was so relaxing, and gave me time to really think about the year that was coming to a close. My final New Year in Japan, I took the whole set on the train from Nagoya to Osaka, to spend with our friends who don't celebrate at all, but their young daughter wanted to learn (mama is Czech and doesn't cook Japanese food). Later, if she wants, I'll teach her ❤ But if I weren't vegan and just bought the Osechi ryori from the store, I'd never know these traditions, or be able to teach anyone else...

Im in Japan atm in Hiroshima. 95% of all restaurants have no vegetarian or vegan food. Everything even thou it looks vegetarian contains dashi or stock. Convinient stores tend to be the most vegetarian friendly, but you have to google translate check everything. Things like potato salad, egg sandwich can be vegetarian ( without stock, dashi, meat) in just one chain. It is difficult and unfortunately, even google translate isnt 100% so i broke my vegetarianism on few occasions. So to be honest as a tourist its even harder, since you cant cook yourself, unless you get an appartment with kitchen instead of a business hotel for the stay.

I struggled a lot as a vegetarian in Japan. In restaurants it was difficult to ask if a food was vegetarian as they often don’t know and can’t really answer your question. If you ask if the ramen is with meat they’d say no even though the broth is made of meat. I was also shocked that Japanese food that’s vegetarian in Europe is often not vegetarian in Japan. For example fried rice is mostly cooked with meat broth, spring rolls contain meat and of course sushi really is rice and fish and not with avocado or cucumber like in the west. You mostly have to look up restaurants beforehand, it’s hard to find something spontaneously. Without conbini onigiri we would’ve gone hungry a lot. So on my Japan trip I wasn’t able to eat sushi, ramen, Japanese curry or omurice :( had to hit up my local ramen shop after I came back, they all offer vegan options where I live 🙏

@@avipsa304 in India people have always been respectful of others despite their differences... But currently vegetarians do hate non vegetarians in India as they are influenced a lot by American veganism or overall Western culture of intolerance.... This has started to be ingrained in our society since the first Islamic invasions of India... And this intolerance goes at all levels and not just restricted to food... But generally people with restrictions start the hatred towards people with none... Non vegetarians have no restrictions and eat both meat and vegetables while vegetarians have restriction

@@19382qAs another Indian, I agree too. People on social media platforms are milking views by creating videos about India. With our large population, it's natural for Indians to come across these videos, comment, and engage, and stuff. But, many Indians intentionally watch videos made by foreigners, seeking acknowledgment(?) from Western people. From what I've seen, a lot of of those who do this are kids. I don't really know why they do it, but it can be somewhat annoying, and at times, I just get secondhand embarrassment from it all.

Buy a portable hot pot cooker and hit the supermarkets. The outer suburban ones as they have the biggest veggie tofu range and you know exactly what went in the dish. I've travelled to Japan 5 times but they have meat or fish in just about everything! And a food item changes what it started from what it ends up. Eg. Potato croquette. I asked in Japanese if it contained any meat or cheese as I was vegan. They said no, after buying it, it contained meat and cheese and spam. They basically said its potato. As the dish had 'transformed' to its final product a potato croquette.

One Indian meal maybe ¥1200 yen or so? For other vegetarian options you can request to remove a few items from the dish. However many meals contain fish stock, eggs so that could be unavoidable. Pure vegetarian here just means you may have to just eat at vegan restaurants. Hence, normal restaurants and vegan restaurants are there but not particularly ‘vegetarian’ restaurants

Not restaurant, but recently, I saw some people posting on a Facebook group about vegan karaage being sold. It's about 3,000 yen for 1 kg vs 700 yen for regular non-vegan karaage. So yeah, vegan food can be more expensive. Sometimes, not that much more, but still a bit pricier than non-vegan food. (I'm not vegan, so I don't have this problem.)

It is difficult to eat in Japan if you're vegetarian, but I found vegetarian meals at restaurants was cheaper, my meals were always cheaper than friends' meals. It's also difficult to eat in Japan if you are Muslim, it's not too bad in the big cities as there are some halaal shops but smaller towns do not cater for these food restrictions. You have to read every single food label and understand all the kanji to know if something has alcohol or meat ingredients.

But, I'm from the Eastern India & currently in Gujarat, a western state, & I can vouch for the fact that many people here hate non-vegetarian people! "Hate" means "Hate", coz they straight away discriminate, disrespect & mock Non-vegetarians as if we are criminal.. So if you think, India is all rosy & sunny and there's no hate..

Just for reference, since it sounds like you might live in Japan, "dashi" just means any broth. So katsuo dashi is the typical (fish) broth, but kombu dashi is made from kelp, and shiitake dashi is mushroom. Both are totally vegan, and available at the grocery store for home cooking... Probably not at restaurants, though (I don't mean to be correcting you, especially because if most Japanese people just say dashi, it means fish for sure. It just might be useful info for you in your daily life)
