Original: NEW: Eating vegetarian or vegan in Japan? Even if a dish doesn't contain meat, dashi broth renders most dishes off-limit
Travel and food writers in Japan are highlighting a common pitfall for plant-based visitors: even dishes with no visible meat are typically made with dashi, a broth built on bonito fish flakes or kelp, making most standard restaurant food off-limits to strict vegetarians and vegans. Coverage notes that more restaurants are now offering plant-based options and that travelers should plan meals carefully, checking ingredients before dining out.
