We are Japanese sisters sharing the beauty of plant-based Japanese food and tips for traveling in Japan!
Finding vegan-friendly meals in Japan, especially outside big cities, can be challenging without the right information. We’ve experienced this ourselves and want to help others in the same situation! 😊
Japanese cuisine has many delicious dishes that can be made vegan. We share easy plant-based recipes so everyone can enjoy Japanese food!
Nozomi lives in Japan, and Mirai lives in Australia. Together, we bring different perspectives to share helpful information.
Thank you for being here!
Let’s enjoy a fun and delicious plant-based lifestyle together! 🌿✨

Why We Choose a Plant-Based Life
As I learned about environmental issues, I became aware of the reality animals face. Realizing that my food came at the cost of their lives left a deep impression on me. When I saw a chick-shaped Japanese sweet, I thought, “I can no longer eat animals,” and made my decision.
About 6–7 years ago, my sister Nozomi became vegan and stopped using animal products and plastic. At first, I thought it was too much, but after reading a book she brought home, I started learning. When I found out about dolphin hunting in Japan and factory farming, I felt heartbroken. That day, I stopped eating meat and slowly changed my diet for the animals, starting with pescetarianism
Living as a Vegan in Japan
At first, I felt lonely and struggled to enjoy meals with family and friends. Even though I wasn’t doing anything wrong, I sometimes felt like I was all alone in the world, and mealtimes became stressful. In Japan, where veganism is not widely known, some areas have no vegan restaurants, and people even see it as a religion or brainwashing! haha
Still, things have become much easier. I no longer worry about others’ opinions or the lack of options. What truly matters is having people who understand and support me.
Veganism is not very common in Japan, and some people at work think it’s a religion. But over time, my loved ones have understood and supported me. In my hometown, there aren’t many vegan-friendly places, so I eat before going out, check menus, or bring my own snacks.
I hope more people learn about veganism!
Why We Started This Account
When I started this lifestyle, I struggled to find recipes.
I started Instagram to help others facing the same challenge.
I want people around the world to enjoy simple and delicious Japanese vegan food.
Veganism isn’t a restriction—it’s a fun lifestyle full of new discoveries!
I hope this account can be helpful to you.
