Hey, James… Hot dog vending machines? No thanks.

Tokyo Vegetarian Week Festival 2007 [2] starts this weekend with events in Yoyogi Park on September 29-30. Hope to see you there. Herwin will be selling cookies and his Vegan Restaurant Guidebook [3], and lots of people are gathering to promote healthy veggies, fruits, nuts and grains that we should all eat more of…
The calligraphy combines the kanji characters for yasai (vegetable) and do (road, code, way ) creating a new term, “the vegetable way” alluding to other familiar philosophical terms in Japanese, such as bushido (the warrior’s code) or judo. In Japanese the two kanjis are read saido.
Herwin’s book Vegan Restaurant Pocketguide to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto is great! Actually, Tokyo has more vegan and vegetarian restaurants than most big cities. Hope you can enjoy healthy food if you visit Japan, and make sure to bring Herwin’s guidebook.

Order from Herwin directly or from Tengu at Alishan Organic Center [5].
