What’s your favorite vegan-friendly wagashi? 👇🏻😋

I absolutely love wagashi, but I learned fairly quickly that not all of them are equally vegan-friendly. 🙈

Modern wagashi often contain animal-derived ingredients, so it’s important to always check the label for the following:

👉🏻 Dairy (乳製品)
👉🏻 Eggs (卵 / たまご)
👉🏻 Honey (蜂蜜 / はちみつ)
👉🏻 Cochineal / Carmine (コチニール / カルミン / 赤色102号・赤色3号)
👉🏻 Fish extract (かつお / カツオ / 鰹節)
👉🏻 Fish s***m (白子 / しらこ)

❗️If you’re buying fresh wagashi at a food stall, it’s best to ask the staff directly. Mitarashi dango, for example, sometimes contains katsuo dashi (bonito stock) in the glaze.

❗️As a general rule, I avoid pink-colored wagashi, since they often contain cochineal (aka crushed beetles). However, some wagashi are dyed using kuchinashi (クチナシ), a plant-based coloring derived from the gardenia fruit that’s safe for vegans.

(Ad) I’ve been living in Japan for over 10 years—8 of those following a vegan lifestyle.

While I’ve gotten used to finding vegan food, finding good vegan and cruelty-free shampoo hasn’t been as easy. 😅

I’m originally from Germany, so every time I flew back (once a year), I stocked up on (very heavy) shampoo bars.
Of course, that’s not a sustainable long-term solution, so I was always on the lookout for quality vegan haircare in Japan—but without much success.

Then I (finally!) came across Yoneya, a Japanese vegan haircare brand that looked really promising at first glance. But the question about animal-testing remained.

Therefore, I had to ask where they source their raw materials and whether they test on animals.
I was SO happy when they told me that all of their raw materials are locally sourced in Japan—and they don’t test on animals! 😍

They kindly sent me their shampoo, conditioner, and hair mask to try, and after a few uses, I can genuinely say:

My hair feels stronger, shinier, and it smells amazing! Think soft jasmine and sakura—subtle, fresh, and not overpowering.
As I mentioned, the shampoo bars I had been using for years made my scalp feel dry and irritated.
But since switching to Yoneya, my scalp feels so much calmer—like it’s finally recovering. 🥰

What I love even more is their focus on clean, gentle, and sustainable formulas using local Japanese ingredients like fermented rice and sakura flower extract.
No harsh chemicals. No greenwashing. Just good, thoughtful haircare. 🌱

If you’ve been struggling to find vegan haircare that actually works in Japan, this is definitely worth checking out. 😍

But tofu isn’t just symbolic—it’s a staple in vegan life here in Japan! Here’s how to actually use the different types:

👉🏻Shimadofu (島豆腐)
Okinawan-style firm tofu. Holds shape well—ideal for hotpots and stir-fries.

👉🏻Kata Tofu (堅とうふ)
Extra firm and hard to find, but perfect for frying, marinating, or crumbling into Bolognese-style dishes.

👉🏻Agedofu (揚げ豆腐)
Pre-fried tofu blocks. Just pan-fry or reheat—perfect for tofu “steaks” or hearty toppings.

👉🏻Kōyadōfu (高野豆腐)
Freeze-dried tofu. Great for soups, stews, and pasta sauces. Add after seasoning—absorbs flavor like a sponge.

👉🏻Ganmo Tofu (がんも豆腐)
Tofu fritters with burdock, lotus root, and other veggies. Delicious in soups, hotpots, or pan-fried.
⚠️ Check labels—some may contain egg.

👉🏻Aburaage (油揚げ)
Thin fried tofu pouches. Use in miso soup, inari sushi, or pan-fried as a crispy topping.

👉🏻Silken Tofu (絹ごし豆腐)
Very soft and smooth. Great for smoothies, chocolate pudding, or as a garnish in miso soup.

👉🏻Kinuage Dofu (絹厚揚げ豆腐)
Fried silken tofu. Softer than agedofu but still pan-fryable. Nice texture for marinating or light frying.

👉🏻Daizu Meat (大豆ミート)
Soy-based “meat.” Use in vegan Bolognese, tacos, curries, or rice bowls.

👉🏻Kizami Age (刻み揚げ)
Pre-sliced aburaage strips. Add to soups, soba, or stir-fries for an instant umami boost.

👉🏻 Momen Tofu (木綿豆腐)
Firm but not as hard as Western-style. Great for scrambled tofu, soups, salads, or topping soba.

👉🏻Tofu Sweet Bars
Eat as snacks or desserts. High in protein.

When traveling to Japan as a vegan, you might find yourself asking a few questions:
Is being vegan in Japan difficult?
Will you find vegan-friendly food?
Is being vegan in Japan even possible?

The answer to all these questions is: yes.

‼️BUT! Here comes the catch: Veganism is not well-known in Japan, and even "plant-based" labeled food often contains animal products. So, it is more challenging to be vegan compared to Western countries. 😔

I've lived in Japan for 10 years, 6 of them as a vegan. Having experienced the "vegan struggle" firsthand, I decided to write this guide to help you and make it easier! 💪
This vegan guide is a collection of my experiences and serves as your "vegan travel companion." 💚

👉With over 100 pages, lots of pictures to identify vegan-friendly products and show the shop staff, vegan and vegan-friendly restaurant options all over Japan, and general tips, this guide covers (almost) every topic related to veganism. Including ethical animal cafes and shopping places.

👉Get yours now and enjoy your trip to Japan!

Accidentally vegan snacks in Japan Part 5

Did you know that there are actually a lot of snacks in Japan, which are „accidentally vegan“?

👉Ezaki Glico Born From Plants Big Pucchin Pudding /植物生まれのBigプッチンプリン
👉House Petit Fruiche:
🍓Strawberry プチフルーチェ イチゴ
🍊Mixed Orange プチフルーチェ ミックスオレンジ
🫐Blueberry プチフルーチェ ブルーベリー
🍑Peach プチフルーチェ ピーチ
👉Lotus Biscoff Biscuit Spread
👉Morinaga Macrobiha Almond and Cranberry マクロビ派アーモンドとクランベリー
👉Oat krunch with Hazelnut, Choco chip & Nuts オーツクランチ チョコチップ&ナッツ

Here are a few important notes:
❗️Accidentally vegan products are subject to potential contamination during production.
❗️ Some of the above products contain palm oil.
❗️ The „may contain dairy etc“ warning on the package doesn’t mean, that there is actually dairy in the product itself. It’s just a warning for those, who are allergic and need to be extra cautious about this.
❗️ While the main ingredients in the products are seemingly plant-based, secondary ingredients might be animal based or used animal based processing. A good example is common white sugar in Japan, as it’s usually whitened with bone char. There’s no actual animal ingredient left in the finished product, so it’s up to you whether you want to consume it or not.

❗Vitamin K is not a critical nutrient on a plant-based diet.
However, some people seem concerned about this Vitamin, so here's how you can reply to "How do vegans get their Vitamin K?"

❓Why do we need Vitamin K?
Vitamin K is an important cofactor in many processes, such as Vitamin D and calcium absorption, bone metabolism, blood coagulation, etc.

✅The body's daily Vitamin K requirement is covered up to 90% by the Vitamin K1 from plants (this is true for vegans but also omnivores.)
✅People on a plant-based diet are generally very well supplied with Vitamin K, due to high Vitamin K levels in plants.
✅ Best unprocessed plant food Vitamin K1 providers are green vegetables
✅The best plant-based source for Vitamin K2 is Natto.

As you can see there is no need to worry about Vitamin K, if you eat a variety of green and leavy vegetables on a daily basis.

What's your favorite Vitamin K source? Let me know in the comments below! 👇🏻
