soy icecream

at one of my favorite places in Kyoto- Arashiyama. I got the black sesame flavor, they also have a black soybean which is just as tasty

finally!

my first vegan restaurant experience in kyoto!
Cafe Proverbs was just what I needed. The flavors were fantastic and the service great. But perhaps what excited me most about my visit was the fact that i could have ordered anything off the menu. There have been too many experiences where my options are limited to one item, and I am certain I have eaten/drank meat unknowingly. So to walk into a restaurant and know that I could point to anything on the menu and eat it was such a wonderful feeling. after 20 minutes of debating, i had the satay and taco rice.



sorry no food photos, i was so excited to eat i forgot about the camera

from kyoto

for those who still check my blog, i am apologize for the lack in posting.
for those who don't know, i am in kyoto.
why am i not blogging about all the wonderful japanese food?
because it is so hard to find anything vegan in this town! in the land of tofu, all restaurants use meat/fish in some form. but the tofu, soymilk ,soy ice cream that i have had are fantastic, and i will make more of an effort to blog about those.

sorry for such a lame blog these days.
