Have you ever had a vegan diet before? More and more people around the world are adopting the vegan concept for the sake of environmental protection and animal welfare, and this idea is spreading beyond national borders. However, the vegan population in Japan is very small and, due to that, there are not many restaurants catering to them. This makes it a bit difficult to maintain a vegan diet here. There are also those who would like to try a vegan diet, but may not have the opportunity to do so. In this article, we would like to introduce five vegan restaurants located in Kawagoe which is easily accessible from the school and Ikebukuro, where the new campus is located.
