Hi, its soooo hot these days..but I was watinig for summer so I'm exciting!

anyway, today I'm going to introduce about Vegetarian Restaurants in Japan and in America.

At first I'm going to intriduce vgetarian rstaurant in Japan.
I was suprised the number of vgetarian restaurants. There are many restaurants which have a variety of vegetable dishes but they also include meat and fish in it so they are not for vegetarian. There are only about 20 restaurants which have all vegetable dishes. I think this is very small number and could know Japan is not very kind for vegetarian:(

Now I introduce one of the vegetarian restaurant inTokyo.
It is named "VEGAN Healing Cafe". They often use brown rice and soybeans in their dishes. Also they have many organic ingredients. Beans and rice are basic and important food for vegetarian.

here is the restaurant's homepage address: http://www.vegancafe.jp/

Next, I'm going to talk about vegetarian restaurants in America.

There are 3873restaurants for vegetarian. It is big defference between Japan and America.. Especially in California, there are about 800 vegetarian restaurants!(I knoe America is huge but still...!) We can see that vegetarian culture is very common in America.

They use organic ingredients but also a lot of fruits in their dishes too. They have more ideas for vegetarian dishes.

we can search vegetarian restaurants from this wedsite:http://www.happycow.net/north_america/

Lara said being and living in Japan is diffecult, and I could know how difficukt it is now. Japan should be more cooperative to vegetarian. I want to go to the vegetarian restaurant and have a healthy dishes not just salad. haha!

Fry and make your own skewers

hi, today I am going to introduce the restaurant named "Kushiya-monogatari."

This is Kushi(Japanese fryed meat, veges and other foods) restaurant.

When you order the meal at restaurant, usually you get finished dish. but at this restaurant, you can choose any foods you like and fry them all by yourselves!

This restaurant is in Lala-port and we can have as much as we like for 2600 yen( its a little bit expensive:( and we have a 90 min for the meal.

Here is the process:

Step1-Pick some foods you like. There are veges, beef, chicken, seafoods... a lot.

Step2-Dip it into the sauce which mixed water and flour. Then roll it in the bread crumbs.

Step3-Fry it! The each table has a fry pot. It takes 1~3minutes.


Step4-Eat it! There are 6 diffrent kinds of sauces, for example Ume-sauce, Worcester sauce and cheese sauce...so you can enjoy many defferent kinds of taste.

We can also have salda, fruits, Curry and rice and chocolate fondue. (they are not for fry! haha)

I've thought fryed foods are heavy for stomach and they are acutually if you had too much them, but this restaurant have many vegetables so that it can be healthy and we can have vegetable with fun!

I recommend fryed shrimp with grated radish sauce(Daikon- Orishi Ponzu).

This restaurant is good for have a fun dinner with family or friends.

I want to make fryed foods at my home. I guess Tofu is going to be good fryed food...!

what kind of food is good to fry do you think?

Indiaaa!

Hello:) today I introduce about Curry Restaurant at Tudanuma Parco. There is a Curry Restaurant which is run by Indian men. (they are very friendly!)

They have about 15 kinds of Curry and 10 kind of nan bread. The nan is warm and a littel bit sweet..so good! We can choose 3 Curries, and nan, rice, salda as much as you we want only for 980 yen in this restaurant. isn't this pretty cheap?

As I said they have many kinds of Curries. Its very interesting. I will try Coconut Curry next time hehe. There are many different kind of countries food restaurant in Japan. I think it because almost every Japanese don't have any ingredients which are forbidden in our religion. Its one of Japanese interesting Characteristic! and we can have a enjoy them:)

Do you like Curry? please tell me if you know good country food! Which country food do you like?
