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!
