Dietary restrictions and Food Allergy in Japan

[Benji Sun]

Here's a collection of informational links for people with various dietary restrictions, be it for health related issues, ethical or religious restrictions. some links may be in multiple categories but for simplicity sake, it’ll be listed based on it’s main topic. and as for pescetarians, you’re in luck, since most of Japan’s cuisine (with a big exception on ramen), are pescetarian (vegetarian diet + fish/seafood). And unlike Chinese desserts, rarely do traditional Japanese desserts use lard or any other animal fat/gelatin in their production, even with a name like Yokan(羊羹: sheep stew), those gelatinous sweets are made with seaweed based agar-agar, thanks to Japan being an island nation.

East Asian Buddhist Vegetarianism (Zhai, aka Oriental Vegetarian Diet) (中国の仏教の禁葷食 or 東洋ベジタリアン)

- Additional information as most non-Chinese are not familiar with this. this is a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet(some orthodox monks even skip dairy and eggs), with some exceptions. alcohol is restricted, although cooking wine/sake/mirin is sometimes tolerated. Also restricted are certain aromatic vegetables in the Allium family (葷): chives, leeks, garlic, onions, shallots, and scallions are the main ones. while most herbs including parsley and coriander are ok. this differs from other Buddhist countries with less or different restrictions. in Japan, the most common Buddhist Vegetarian is called Shojin Ryori, but usually these are prepared by monks and are like kaiseki, gorgeous but extremely expensive.

This last one is a great print out for Buddhist Vegetarians and lists the Gokon restricted vegetables and that bonito flakes are a no-no.

Hindu Vegetarian & Jain Vegetarian (ヒンドゥー教のベジタリアン & ジャイナ教のベジタリアン)

- i’m not sure about this one, as far as i know it’s a lacto-vegetarian diet, but i don’t know if there are other restrictions.

- Japan wiki has this to say about Hindu Vegetarianism :乳製品は可。また宗派や階層、地域や家庭などによって純菜食から肉食可まで様々な段階の戒律を持つ。

- Japan wiki has this to say about Jain Vegetarianism : 卵を一切とらないだけでなく、植物を殺すことになる野菜（大根、芋、葱など）を食べない。ただし乳製品は可。
