An outing in Kin no Kura -Shibuya
Hello everyone ,
Preface :-
Living as a vegetarian in Japan could be really challenging. A country know for its sea food culture, you could get lost not only in translation but could also feel a little out of place when searching for vegetarian options here.
A good friend of mine called Karin, told me the other day that, she meets a lot of Indian's who crib about not having veg options to eat in Japan. She asked me my option on the same, I told her such is not the case. Although I have an advantage of knowing the language, its my will to survive while staying with my Japanese friends that keeps me going. She strongly suggested me that I should be writing a blog and share my tips. I tried procrastinating, but she got better of me over a beer and now here it is.
Kin no Kura dinner :-
So, Kin no Kura is this famous chain of Izakaya ( Japanese Style Pub ) that has lots of fan among the Japanese and Non-Japanese equally. If your a Salary Man in Tokyo , then you would have many such opportunities to go with your Japanese and Non-Japanese colleagues to Izakaya. And, If your a Vegetarian and don`t know Japanese and also have never been to Izakaya before,Then there are higher chances for you to go blank in such situations. However, some knowledge could help you choose things from the Menu . These days you also have the English menus in Izakaya's which is equally helpful .
Below are a few tips you could order in your dinner .

e) Pancake (has hen`s egg)
f) Fried potatoes
