    i’ve been vegan for 6, going on 7 years. let me tell you from experience. i travel to mexico a lot to where my parents are from and downloading the happy cow app was a GAME CHANGER. you simply chose the vegan tab and enter a city and it shows you (in yelp style layout) all the vegan restaurants to that area. i put in some cities from japan and i was blown away by all the options... i saw more on the list than i normally see in some bigger cities in the states. couldn’t recommend it enough.

      Also, 5 years being vegan in Japan and yes it implies lots of home cooking but if you can read Japanese there are actually quite a lot to find at the supermarket or in izakayas. I have no trouble eating anywhere besides specialized restaurant (ramen/monja/hot pot restaurant etc. Are difficult but you’d be surprise I eat quite well at yakiniku places!) also Tokyo is getting more and more friendly with at least vegetarians, we even finally have vegan menus at Tokyo Disney resort!
      But anyways if I had the time I would make a blog about living in Tokyo as a vegan but it’s kind of difficult at the time.
      (Also, if anyone reading this wants to experience an amazing Shojin Ryori/Buddhist cuisine vegan restaurant, please please go at “BON” close to Ueno. We celebrated my son’s omiyamairi (first visit to the temple, similar to a catholic baptism) and ate there with the whole family (Japanese and French side both reunited) and it was one of the best food experience we ever had even for the whole non-vegan family!

    Hey Chris! I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. I love watching your videos, in general. (And to be honest, I've watched them all!) Thank you for showing such respect to the practices and beliefs of vegetarians and vegans, even though you don't adopt those beliefs yourself. It says a lot about your character. I look forward to more videos from you!

    I found your videos by accident and I love them! They have been of endless use (although I spend too much time looking at how to learn Japanese rather than getting on with it!) Im going to japan, and thats scary enough.without being vegan... I came across this video on a rush hour train from bristol, and was so excited that I screamed a little bit and panicked everyone....! You're living my dream, when I'm feeling lost with my Japanese, or like im losing sight of my goal, I watch your videos to inspire me. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. P.s. I swear I saw you at the japanese embassy in London last week (or you've got a doppleganger) all the praise for this channel! Xx

      Fossil fuels would be MORE vegan as if you used ethanol or other organics it would most likely had been an animal many thousands of times over since the fossil died.

      Yeah, veganism and vegetarianism are pretty much just social trends, or personality accessories, anyway. The only reason for their being is because some people are extremely sensitive to the reality of organisms consuming other organisms and how it can be a bit harsh to witness when you've never witnessed it before. That and it can make you appear virtuous and noble when you wear them as titles or badges of honor to be displayed to others. I mean, it's a free world and people can do as they please, I don't care. But, a balanced diet of meats, vegetables, and some kind of clean carbohydrate(whether a starch or other vegetables that contain lots of it) is pretty much the gold standard. *shrugs*

      Extremely difficult? Maybe if you're someone with zero cooking skills, utterly incapable of supporting yourself and 100% reliant on eating processed food from supermarkets or restaurants.
      Virtually any vegan dish you can make elsewhere you can also make in Japan. In short: Just don't be lazy and you'll be fine.
