While in Japan I have had some amazing food. I am a vegan and I thought it would be difficult to find foods that I could eat but by knowing a little Japanese and kanji, I was able to order foods at restaurants and buy foods at the store with no problems. One thing I will definitely miss is the delicious food so I decided to do a post dedicated to everything I will miss when I leave.

Aburaage with enoki mushrooms inside
