Being a vegetarian in Japan is really hard. Fish extract is a must in Japanese food. You cannot find vegetarian food at a restaurant, so you need to ask for special menu or to hold meat or fish from the dish. Most of ready-made foods contain chicken or fish extracts. That's why I cook a lot at home, it's the easiest option.
This is the one and only vegetarian magazine in Japan. It's called Veggy Steady Go! which I think is such a ridiculous name. Most of the pages are advertisements which makes this magazine so boring. I don't even like Japanese recipe books, because I just don't like their sense of art. I've bought this magazine only once or twice, when they have interesting feature articles.
I've got many vegetarian recipe books as well, which I might write about soon! What's your favourite cooking magazine?
