The dressing on a morning set salad is more likely to be a seafood base, IME. Although, I've always wondered if that was a regional thing.
And about the bread: any (& as far as I know, all) commercial bread in Japan will have at least beef fat in it and usually pork fat as well for flavouring and as a cheap preservative. For a strict vegetarian, I wouldn't trust any baked product unless I knew exactly where it came from. For vegans, I would simply not buy any food in Japan unless able to shop at some very specific stores. For vegetarians that aren't that strict or can accept it or are simply OK with seafood, have at it and enjoy.
