Yesterday we took a break in the afternoon to go to the Kyoto Botanical Gardens, and to have a quick lunch!

We found a wonderful vegan restuarant called 'Gomacro Salon', which uses sesame in every dish!

We had :

Sesame soymilk ramen plate (Ashleys meal)

Seasonal vegetable plate (My meal)

It was a lovely meal on a cold day, and was very fresh and healthy.

We are grateful to be living in a city which has so many vegetarian and vegan options, which are unique, healthy and delicious! Many students have said to me "it must be so hard to be vegan in Japan!" but that couldn't be further from the truth! One thing we have found is that there are a large number of vegan or health based restaurants which do not cook with meat or dairy products, but unlike in the west (where there would normally be a big 'vegan' or 'vegetarian' sign outside) they don't advertise so openly about this! In many ways I think this is a good thing, and can help to normalise veganism. 

My schedule is now open for this week and next, so please don't hesitate to get your bookings in :-)

I am away on Sunday due to running the Kyoto marathon, but other than that I will be around a lot over the next 4 weeks. 

I am teaching for many hours each day now, and this can mean that on Cafetalk my schedule gets blocked up very quickly. Book now to avoid this problem.

Thank you everyone and have a happy and healthy day!

I look forward to speaking with you soon.
