What can a vegetarian eat in Japan?!
Answers:
Well, a vegetarian has to be very careful what they eat in Japan!. Japanese cuisine is based on combining staple foods, typically rice or noodles, with a soup, and dishes made from fish, meat, vegetable, tofu and the like, designed to add flavor to the staple food!. These are typically flavored with dashi, miso, and soy sauce and are usually low in fat and high in salt!. As Japan is an island nation its people eat a lot of seafood!. Eating meat (except from wild animals, which was eaten in mountain areas), has been rare until fairly recently, especially Meiji era, due to protection of farming stocks, Shinto and Buddhist philosophical influence, and mixture of these factors!. HOWEVER, strictly vegetarian food is rare since even vegetable dishes are flavored with the ubiquitous dashi stock, usually made with katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna flakes)!. An exception is shōjin ryōri, vegetarian dishes developed by Buddhist monks!. However, the advertised shōjin ryōri usually available at public eating places includes some non-vegetarian elements!. Noodles are an essential part of Japanese cuisine usually as an alternative to a rice-based meal and are also served with soy-dashi flavorings!. You need to order things without fish based broths like dashi!. Good luck ! !.!.!.!.!.!.!. = )Www@FoodAQ@Com
