Panic: the feeling that creeps in when you realise your instant food stash won't last the length of your Japan trip, and the Japanese totally do not get (warm) vegetarian food.

- Gouri ChughNear impossible for a hard core vegetarian to survive there, I believe. Hide
- Saurabh Jनहीं Ramit भाई नहीं, sushi ना हो पाई हम से। I have a bigger stash of noodles at the airport. I'll go get more, before I have to eat sushi.
- Garima MalhotraYou're still a vegetarian? Hide
- Saurabh JSo my bigger problem is that by not eating their cuisine, I'm not experiencing their culture. Which is what this trip is about. Culture. Food is so integral to their culture and I just stare, blink and move on. I wish I hadn't grown up to be grossed out by non veg.

- Saurabh JSeriously Garima? Spanish coast. छुपी रुस्तम। सपरिवार धावा बोल दूँ? I have the sweetest boys and they won't be any trouble.
- Garima MalhotraYou're most welcome! My husband is the biggest Kejriwal fan you can find, so I'm sure two of you will get along very well Hide
- Saudamini JainThere's a vegan ramen place at the Tokyo station. And it is AMAZing. You can still eat Tempura at most restaurants -- sniff to check for fish oil. And Subway obvs: avocado subs rocked my world. Hide
- Prasanna KDude, we found what you can eat (from convenience stores) 1. Onigiri (esp the red, black bean one) WE LOVED THIS.. 2. Salads (check the dressing, many are ok) 3. Tempura (you can ask for veggie tempura) 4. Soba noodles/soup, ask for 'no meat, no fish, no seafood' 5. There's a pink/white jellytype thing they put on top sometimes, which is actually seafood, so avoid if you see it (doesn't look or taste like seafood See http://isitveganjapan.com/food-on-the-go/507-2/ Hide
- Saurabh JPrasanna I owe you man. Saudamini we are talking warm food here.
- Prasanna KAlso, from http://www.hedweb.com/animals/vegphrase.htm & my friend in Japan, say 'NO niku, NO sakana, NO tori' Hide
