VeganMoFo 2019: Veggie Cafe, Kyoto

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Jenny

One thing I observed in Japan was that they weren’t always particularly creative at naming things. Pretty much every Indian restaurant we saw was called “Everest” or “Kathmandu” (not sure if we can technically blame the Japanese for that one, … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Engine Ramen, Kyoto

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Jenny

In Kyoto we found one of the best eateries of our trip, plus one of the best attractions, so it seems only right to cover them both together! Starting with the attraction: on a bit of a whim we found … Continue reading →

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Jenny

Nara was one of the places that popped up on every Japanese itinerary I looked at while planning our trip, generally as a day trip from either Kyoto or Osaka. We decided to do it from Kyoto, and it was … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Veg Out, Kyoto

Posted on August 10, 2019 by Jenny

The worst thing about going on holiday is all the other tourists: why are they all so annoying?! I’m sure lots of our fellow adventurers were mad with Dr HH and me when we went to the famous inari temple. … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Organic House Salute, Kyoto

Posted on August 9, 2019 by Jenny

From Nagoya we moved on to one of my favourite destinations of the trip, and possibly the one that I was most excited about: Kyoto. I was expecting a calmer pace of life than the other cities we’d visited, and … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Vegan in Nagoya

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Jenny

Nagoya only ended up on our Japanese itinerary because there was a sumo wrestling tournament on and we desperately wanted to see it. It was definitely worth going to the sumo, but the city itself was a fun place too … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Vegan in Matsumoto

Posted on August 7, 2019 by Jenny

Matsumoto ended up on our Japanese itinerary purely because I saw a picture of this castle and wanted to visit it. And I’d say it was worth it, it was truly a work of art. We saw a few more … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Itaden, Kawaguchiko

Posted on August 6, 2019 by Jenny

One of my favourite things about our trip to Japan was that we’d planned so much variety. This was perfectly encapsulated in one particular day, when we woke up in a traditional ryokan in a small mountain town, spent the … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: Kansuiro Ryokan, Hakone

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Jenny

NOTE: NO LONGER SERVING VEGAN OPTIONS All my friends who’ve been to Japan recommended staying at a ryokan for at least one night while we were there: this is traditional Japanese accommodation where you are served your meals in your … Continue reading →

VeganMoFo 2019: T’s TanTan, Tokyo

Posted on August 4, 2019 by Jenny

Several days into my Japanese VeganMoFo theme, it’s finally time for some bonafide Japanese food! I wasn’t really sure how much Japanese food we’d find in vegan eateries, and I’d expected to find a reasonable amount of vegan sushi. But … Continue reading →
