Other Brusque Notes On Japan

April 3-11, 2015

This lastly postal service from our week-long vacation inward Nippon is a semi-random round-up that volition likely live interesting to our readers, but don't stand upwardly for our green recipe/restaurant weblog format. Here's only about advice for vegos inward Nippon inward bullet points.

1) Arrange pocket wi-fi earlier yous plow up. There are a whole bunch of companies who volition rent yous a mobile wi-fi device (smaller than a phone), delivering it either to the aerodrome or your hotel amongst a reply-paid envelope to supply it in. This volition hateful your phones tin access the network at most all times, thus that navigating Tokyo's impenetrable address organisation in addition to astonishing tube map is much to a greater extent than straightforward. This is the kickoff fourth dimension we've done this piece travelling, in addition to it was the best determination nosotros made (for the tape nosotros used these guys, but it was a panicky last-minute determination - create your research!).

2) Having arranged steal wi-fi, larn correct ahead in addition to download the Happy Cow app - it volition quest yous to nearby veggie (and veg-friendly) places, volition give yous directions in addition to volition brand eating out inward Tokyo a relative breeze. It costs a few bucks, but it's coin good spent (and tin in addition to thus live used on futurity trips to other cities/countries!).


3) Convenience stores are your friend. We relied on FamilyMart in addition to 7-11 for quite a few meals - they've ever got inari in addition to onigiri (this site is helpful for figuring out your vego options at convenience stores). They've also got all mode of snacks in addition to sweets for when yous only necessitate to swallow something made of saccharide or salt.


4) The basement of region stores are gigantic nutrient courts, amongst shops of all kinds serving upwardly any treats yous tin imagine. From fresh fruit in addition to veg to mochi, from pastry shaped similar a king of beasts to fancy chocolate, there's everything yous tin imagine available (the basement at Isetan was our favourite on this trip).


5) Make a side trip to Kappabashi Street if yous catch the temples inward Asakusa. It's the kitchen goods district of Tokyo, in addition to at that spot are a handful of shops that specialise inward plastic nutrient models that are groovy fun to browse through. They're a wonderful origin of kitschy gifts too, but live prepared to pass a decent wodge of coin - crafting lifelike noodles out of plastic doesn't come upwardly cheap.



6) Freshness Burger are a handy origin of a vegetarian repast (although likely non a vegan one). There are nearly 200 locations inward Japan, including a handy 1 inward the novel Jetstar terminal at Narita airport. The bean-based veggie burger in addition to fries tided us over earlier our flying downwards to Takamatsu.


7) Toys! We went a fleck crazy for toys inward Tokyo. It's likely wise non to chase your losses inward the toy vending machines because yous desire a real detail type of cat-sushi toy, but these are difficult lessons to alive yesteryear inward the moment. We also vicious madly inward honey amongst Gudetama, the lazy egg-yolk fellow member of the Hello Kitty menage unit of measurement - he's difficult to immature adult woman if yous hang out inward the shops similar Kiddyland (in Harajuku), a five-storey toy store that should live on everybody's itinerary.


8) Vending machines are a reliable origin of heavily sweetened caffiene-based beverages. Tokyo has a few hip java places around, but the pickings are much slimmer than Melbourne in addition to I got lazy in addition to apace resorted to a mix of iced in addition to hot java drinks from colourful machines. You tin larn them milky or black, but they're all loaded amongst sugar.


And that's it! We had a groovy fourth dimension inward Nippon 1 time to a greater extent than - it's non the easiest province to live vegetarian in, but the pay-off is worth the fleck of endeavor that goes into planning (and the semi-regular convenience store snacking). Hopefully at that spot are only about useful tidbits inward this post, in addition to throughout our restaurant-related posts for others making the journey. Enjoy!
