Vegan in Sapporo: Vegan French Restaurant L’Esperance

I’ve already complained once about a restaurant misleadingly named to suggest it’s fully vegan – I’m afraid this is another such place. Until about May, this place was all vegan, offering a vegan fine dining set menu. Then they introduced … Continue reading

Vegan in Sapporo

After our brief stay in Hakodate, we spent a couple of nights at Lake Toya (a town with no reliable sounding vegan options) and then arrived in Sapporo, the biggest city in Hokkaido, ready to eat! Again, it was not … Continue reading

After Tokyo, we made our way north to Hokkaido with our first stop in Hakodate. We stayed there for two nights, but only ate at one spot – Yasai Bar Miruya. There are not loads of vegan options in Hakodate, … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2019: Flowers, Miyajima

The floating gate at Mijayima ranks quite highly among the top sights in Japan, and we were pleased to see that it was a very manageable day trip from Hiroshima. We took the train and ferry, and there it was … Continue reading

VeganMoFo 2019: Parco alla Pace, Hiroshima

Hiroshima was a very strange place to visit. It’s uncomfortable to be a tourist in a city that was completely destroyed in the worst way imaginable. It’s hard to segue from talking about that history to fun ruminations about food, … Continue reading
