Through the spread of "Japanese veganism," we will contribute to reducing the burden on the global environment and revitalizing the local economy.

Food in particular is one of the joys of traveling.
Among them, the unique Japanese vegetarian food culture "Japanese vegan = shojin ryori"
There is an increasing number of vegetarian and vegan travelers who expect touch.
However, what surprised them most about coming to Japan was
