If you're a vegetarian, don't visit Japan

At least they got one thing right, vegetarians are a minority over there too.

Since Japan is an island nation, its people consume much seafood including fish, shellfish, octopus, squid, crab, lobster, shrimp, whale and seaweed. Although not known as a meat eating country, very few Japanese consider themselves vegetarians. It is particularly difficult to find vegetarian cuisine in Japan, as even vegetable dishes are prepared with fish stock or garnishes. However, Shojinryori is a type of cooking which is reputed to follow the strict vegetarian requirements in minor sects of Buddhism, is available in specialty restaurants in Japan. Unfortunately for strict vegetarians most Shojinryori meals contain dashi made from katsuobushi and other non vegetarian elements. Some monks in the temples in Kyoto eat this cuisine. Beef, pork and chicken are commonly eaten as most forms of Buddhism in Japan allow the eating of meat and have become part of everyday cuisine. Lamb is eaten in colder parts of Japan but is not as popular in the remainder of the country.
