Posted on June 23, 2025 by Jenny

It’s always tricky on holiday to find somewhere for breakfast that has vegan options, is not a million miles out of your way, and opens at a reasonable hour. So we were delighted to find Coyote, a vegan-friendly cafe really … Continue reading →

I’m not sure I’d even heard of mapo tofu before we visited Spicy Moon in New York, but since then Dr HH and I have been obsessed with it. We make it regularly at home, and if we are outside … Continue reading →

It was hard to resist the temptation to spend all our time in Tokyo revisiting our favourite spots, but somehow we did manage to get in a few new eateries too. I learned on social media about this hotel, which … Continue reading →

Vegan in Tokyo: Universal Bakes

Posted on April 28, 2025 by Jenny

Our attempt to visit more vegan bakeries on this trip to Tokyo continued (and basically finished) with a trip to not one but two branches of Universal Bakes. The two branches are about a 15 minute walk apart, and in … Continue reading →

I’ve only just cleared my backlog of eateries from my trip to Asia last summer, and now it’s time for another round of Japan posts! We’ve previously visited in July 2019 and July/August 2024. One of our dreams was to … Continue reading →
