Vegan in Japan- beginnings

Finally time to post about food.

My first shopping was a failure.

I got all frustrated that I have no idea what to eat,

that I do not understand kanji on ingredients list

and I finished buying some non-vegan things

which I actually ate because I hate wasting food

and throwing  it  away would not help any animal

as I have already bought it and pay for it.

Now it slowly comes down.

It is far from perfect

but at least it has settled a little bit

and what is most important I enjoy discovering

new world of eating.

What is even more important I have rice.

No fear of hunger.

Already 2 kg of best rice ever <3

Some pasta. 

Udon, soba, rice one but also 100% durum spaghetti

And

beans including tofu of course!

And this tofu... just add some soy sauce

and you can eat it straightly from a package..

Vegetables

Soy milk.

I can't wait to open the banana one!

Meat substitutes.

I bought some in eco store but it was not a good decision.

Way too expensive and you can find normal seitan in a supermarket.

I am really curious about this baked seitan which looks like a bread!

Yes, it is really a seitan in the middle of the picture!

No oatmeal. No life. So..

Seaweeds. Nori and konbu.

Something sweet to put on.. rice.

Well but also bread as I found a bakery with vegan baguette.

Of course big bottle of soy sauce and sesame oil.

Sesame oil is not that expensive in Japan.

Some ready-made food for lazy time.

Well.. sweets :)

Except chocolate from Poland 

I only eat wagashi.

Japanese sweets are the best.

In Japan my diet will naturally become almost gluten free haha xD

And... yes I survived a few days but I am really addicted..I gave up.. lost...

Apples.. you can be expensive but I can not live without you..

As the label says these are kawaii pink apples xD

For the end: best find ever.

Azuki bean ice cream! Cheap, vegan with full azuki beans.

I am in love <3

Even in house I have somehow become more pink.

In Japan everything naturally becomes pink and cute.

Just look at this vegetables and fruits packages!

Step by step I will get better with eating here.

It is quite useful that in bakeries you have all allergens written

so I can check if there are eggs or milk inside.

I feel like learning cooking since the very beginning

like becoming vegan for the 2nd time. Let's take it as a challenge.
