closed, closed, CLOSED, c-l-o-s-e-d !

I didn't check it myself yet but i heard the following veggie restaurants closed their doors :
- Cafe 8. For all you vegs in the neighborhood, don't ya weep, just at the other side of the street is the veg restaurant Alaska, which is a very cool and hip place with exciting food.
- Der Akkord. This legendary Bakery in Tokyo's posh Omote Sando area closed due to the tragic death of the owner, r.i.p.
- J's Kitchen.
- Miki Tenkai. Who hasn't picked up a take out veg lunchbox at Daykan Yama station in Tokyo from mr Miki Tenkai ? Well, rumors has, this buddhist monk killed somebody (very un-cool) and is now serving time in jail !
-Vege Canteen. Such A Shame ! We Miss You !
-Hono Cafe.
-Salon Cuttho in Okinawa also reportedly closed it's vegan doors.

Tragedy in Nagoya

Nagoya is Japan’s third largest city and has about seven veggie restaurants, most are far from the center and serve similar kinda macrobiotic food.
The one exception, the vegetarian chinese restaurant Chen Fu in downtown Nagoya has been closed since recently. Bummer.
The Chen Fu is part of several other chinese restaurants operated by the sympathetic and vegetarian mr Chien Fu. The other chinese veggie restaurants are in Tokyo and both serve a partly diferent menu. Recommended.

Closed

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”.
