Hi people,
I'm absolutely fascinated with all things Japan, including the colourful and varied diet and Green Tea...mmm! Many of my beliefs also seem to run parallel with those of Buddhism, especially Veganism(I know Buddhists CAN eat meat if given to them as leftovers for alms, or meat that is not specifically killed and prepared for their consumption but most everyday people(i.e. not Monks/Nuns) buy their food, so this rules meat out).
It's quite possible that I may end up living in Japan one day but for now I'd like to try preparing and eating Japanese food here in England. My only concern is that by ommitting fish, I may not be getting all the nutrients I need. Is there other food out there than can make up for what I'd be lacking? Plus, how much Japanese food contains dairy produce(e.g. egg in noodles)? I have tried reverting to eating fish for the sake of my health but my conscience just wont allow it any more. So the bottom line question - Is there such a thing as a highly nutritious Vegan Japanese diet??
