Hello Girls and Boys

Has anyone here ever been to Tokyo? If so, what are the restaurants like there? How easy is it to find healthy vegan food? Any tips?

Thanks in advance :-)

I just spent 3 months in Tokyo.. it has the most amazing vegan food I've ever ate! There are over 50 vegan restaurants in Tokyo alone. Definitely pick up this book: http://www.veganjapan.net/pocketguide-e.html

I also hung out with Melisser from The Urban Housewife when she came to visit Tokyo and she made some pretty in depth posts about finding vegan food in Japan http://www.theurbanhousewife.com/?tag=tokyo and http://www.theurbanhousewife.com/?p=257

My boyfriend and I kept a little blog while we were there- so feel free to check that out as well http://midorijapan.blogspot.com
We were there for awhile so we ended up doing a lot more cooking than eating out.. but there are some restaurant reviews on our blog.

Before I found out about that guidebook, I was thought it was going to be hard finding vegan food in Tokyo.. for the first few days I ate a lot of MosBurger!

Oh wow! Thanks for making this post, lol. I'm going back to Tokyo in June and I was wondering the same thing. I had a bit of trouble finding vegan food the first time I went. But it certainly must have been due to lack of trying.
