[Well-known chef or not, Chang could cut out that excessive cussing, and utterly tasteless comments about women.] I don't get the impression the author includes vegetarian options. Or are we to be laughed off the room, because "it's a costal city"? But hey, he uses the all-encompassing "Best Food City". <data-sample-one> Last year, when in Tokyo (was put up near Shinagawa station), after a long day of work, I simply wanted a good veggie / vegan meal. Took me 2 hours of ambling around (okay, some of it aimless; didn't take my phone with me) to find a place with one veggie option. I asked another vegetation colleague who visits Tokyo far more frequently, and he did kind of confirm: "yeah, it's slightly harder to find veggie / vegan options". A month before that, was on the other side of Pacific (Seattle), and I found great many options, including delicious Japanese veggie food. </data-sample-one>
