The warm glow of reheating a #plantbased vegan Christmas spread thanks to #veganosaka that I missed when we were away & now I'm realizing Jan 7 is a perfect day to enjoy a special holiday meal #whynot it's #veganuary let's go 😁 Unboxing this delivery below

🧵4/ Our immersive lunch was a bento of Yayoi & local ingredients. I had convinced the organizers to add a #PlantBased alternative so vegans joined (13%) and enjoyed with me Yayoi-era-inspired rice balls (same chef) plus complements by Merry Momo (restaurant I recommended). #JapaneseFood #VeganOsaka

A real treat after guiding all day long, just before riding a shinkansen back home: Vegan Paitan Spicy Ramen at Ramen Kiou under Shin-Osaka station. The sumptuous soup with lightest spice level 1 was quite spicy, and the clients were quiet. Appeasing & energising. #VeganRamen #VeganOsaka #VeganJapan

Guiding one last time at the World Expo, I could taste #vegan takoyaki in Osaka! Invented here a century ago, the grilled octopus balls were reinvented cruelty-free with mushrooms by "Vegan & Gluten-free Osaka" restaurant. Served super hot so be careful not to burn yourself! #VeganOsaka #VeganJapan

Guiding and culinary adventures led me to the restaurant Mercy #Vegan Factory in Osaka. I loved the incredible deep-fried cauliflower with sweet & sour sauce 🥦 The matcha pudding was nice too 👍🏻 English-speaking staff & outdoor seating (rare in Japan) ✔️ A must-try; bookmarked! #VeganOsaka #VeganJapan

You set my soul on fire 🔥

At The Fire, Osaka.
