Omnomnom!

If it helps, Kelly, M&S package their fruit in biodegradable corn starch rather than plastic :)

Didn’t realize tsukemono was so popular. :)

Troo I like the cucumbers myself. :)

Kelly Yes, I wish I had found this sooner. Excellent food, and we ate a lot of it while in Ireland. :)

Jonathan I had a similar experience at a Zen temple in Kyoto (Ryuanji, blog post somewhere here…), and it was awesome. :)

I love all the Japanese veggies, AND Mark’s and Spencer’s (heading to UK as I type this). My best vegetarian food experience (ever) has to be eating the monk-produced vegetarian meals while staying at Koya-San.

I love Marks and Spencers! They were a godsend for a traveler, because they sell individually packaged fruits and veg. I felt guilty because of the environmental impact, but I ate quite healthy in London. Actually, a few other stores there also sold healthy on-the-go snacks.

I too am not so keen on the aubergine, but my absolute favourite is daikon. Love it!
