Wow! Essential guide pre visiting Japan!
My first visit to Japan as a vegan was unexpectedly hard! Vegan staples have become almost ubiquitous in the developed world, but Japan Is still catching up. This Is the guide I wish had back then, and covers EVERYTHING: how to quickly decode Ingredient labels, which “vegetable chips” and tofu bars are actually vegan, what to look out for and ask for at restaurants, and more. It’s the difference between every meal being a mission vs an enjoyable experience — In short, a god-send for vegans planning to visit Japan.

Leonore is super friendly and knowledgeable. Starting the tour with vegan donuts, we got a chance to connect with others on the tour and ask a lot of questions before we started.
I appreciate how active she is in contacting manufacturers to clarify the ingredients in their food and processing. She will let you know which brands are more strict to adhering to veganism and where there is some grey areas.
She did an amazing job of taking us through vegan options at the grocery store and the local convenience stores. Plant based foods are just starting to take off in Japan, so being educated on which brands and products fit your needs is a huge help. Definitely book at the start of your trip!

The tour is amazing, super thoughtful and complete.
I learned a lot and unlocked new foods I didnโt even know I could try in Japan. Leonore knows so much and was so kind to answer all my questions, and also shared resources and tips only a local would know.
If youโre vegan (or just curious) and visiting Japan, Iโd highly recommend doing this tour early in your trip. It gave me confidence, practical knowledge, and a lot of excitement about what I can eat here ๐ธ. Thank you Leonore!

As a vegetarian mom aiming towards a vegan lifestyle, I had a lot of questions and insecurities regarding our familyโs, and especially my babyโs nutrition. Leonore was able to guide and reassure me on many points, and gave me plenty of useful information. She is as friendly as she is serious and passionate about what she does, I canโt recommend her enough!
