'In Japan, there are few vegetarians or vegans, don't know about them, or what they really want.'Some worry they would need a separate kitchen, or to follow strict rules as for halal or kosher food, Kawano added.Others are reluctant to stop using core ingredients like dashi fish stock, often added to flavor otherwise vegetarian dishes.'There are some very good dashi made without animal products,' Kawano said.
