Vegetarian Options in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto [merged threads]
Any suggestions for a vegetarian in these cities?
The last time I was in Japan I got by on a combination of hotel food, Buddhist temple food and junk food, plus the occasional western style restaurant. Many restaurants and food courts had plastic models of their offerings (hard for me to tell the ingredients) or menus in, of all things, Japanese.
I now have a card with "I eat no meat, fish ..." in Japanese, but I'm a bit hesitant to wander around showing the card to a bunch of restaurants.
