Nana Ramen!!

A wrong turn on the road lead to decisions

that took me to a Ramen Shop in Nago

yesterday, where a special vegetables only

Ramen is served. One can't imagine my

excitement when Liz told me of this. I am

thrilled! It is named after a movie or

characters in a movie, whose heroine/s

(Nana) is/are vegan or vegetarian.

(Sorry for all the 'ors' and being so vague,

I am not quite certain of the background

of this phenomena). What I am most

certain about is that shows

that vegetarianism is starting as a

trendy, fashionable thing in Japan.

And even though it will not catch on and

surge like a tsunami wave across the

country, (Japanese food will cease to exist

if that happens!!), yet it is certainly

promising to think that people here

will not be ignorant of and horrified

by the concept of vegetarianism. :)
