Welcome to the jpveg blog

Welcome to the jpveg blog!

jpveg started as a map for finding vegetarian and vegan restaurants across Japan. Some of this content is partially AI generated, but fully human reviewed. If there’s anything that seems egregiously AI-ish, please let me know, I’ll make changes.

History

We’ve lived in Japan for almost 10 years now - my wife is vegetarian, and I am not. We generally deal with trying to find places to eat out (or thanks to Covid, places to order delivery) and I’ve found that resources for tracking vegetarian/vegan places in Japan tend to not quite cover all of the bases I want.

What to expect

I’m hoping this site will be useful by virtue of being

• map focused
• free
• collaborative

I want to work alongside existing resources and sites - this site is not intended to be a replacement for any particular site, and I don’t think this site will expand to cover all features of other sites. This is mostly a passion project to make the site I want to use myself.

In the future, the key additions I’ll be aiming to make will be custom list(s?) and bilingual support (Japanese and English).

Also, I need to make a new blog post about sources - the initial map was populated with a subset of hachidory.
