Awsome New Strict-Vegetarian Taiwan Restaurant

Hello my veggie friends,

Tokyo sure has become an exciting hot spot for veggies the last years. New places just keep popping up, i mean, very good and profesional veggie places and the diversity is just awsome, like the new exciting raw food  Rainbow Raw Food to the humble and small vegan noodle shop Asahi and recently a new Veggie Taiwan restaurant opened.
To quote a veggie resident who did eat there and informed me about this place : "The food was great! Also large menu, large portions, large restaurant, and low prices. I couldn't believe my luck!"

Got a free day ? Go veggie restaurant hopping, it might take you to never-visited areas of Tokyo while discovering a new veggie place, new veggie foods, and supporting the growing veggie scene in Tokyo.

With all these new awsome classy hot new Veggie Restaurants its a mystery why a group like the Tokyo Vegan Meetup still have most of their meetups in the non-veggie restaurant Pink Cow.
(Hey, somebody said "kickback" ? It wasn't me who said it...)

All you real veggies and food lovers go ASAP to the new Taiwan restaurant, it's hot, hot, hot, (and cheap prices) and i heard rumors it will be in an upcoming issue of Veggie Steady Go!
(Hey, it wasnt me who started the rumor...)

Bad News.
This month Japan’s one and only vegan Izakaya (= a traditional japanese pub that serves, besides alcoholic drinks, foods. Something like an Irish pub.) has been closed.
“Genmai SaiSai Izakaya Non” opened in 2005 in Tokyo’s Meguro-ku. We will miss the yummy food prepared by the vegan owner and the great atmosphere of this unique vegan place.
Good News.
The owner is considering opening a new Izakaya somewhere in Kanagawa prefecture. When there are more details you will read it on “Vegan Japan”.

Vegan becomes Vegetarian

We all remember and still talk about the legendary vegan cafe Cafe Peace in Kyoto. Without a doubt this was the best vegan place in Kyoto and all of Kansai region. In 2008 however the vegan owner had to sell the place, and the only candidate was a non vegan. The vegan cafe was sold with the promise that it would stay a vegan cafe. Now, it seems that they started to use dairy products and the restaurant Cafe Proverbs 15 : 17 is no longer vegan.

Seems like the only remaining true Vegan Cafe in the Kansai region is the Raku Cafe in Osaka which opened just a year ago.
open : 12.00-22.00 closed first and third monday of the month.
