Wish I had the means to go.
I'm a sucker for useless memorabilia such as coasters.

Japan has all the cool stuff

It looks so cool! I love how excited they are, even though they don't play the game, haha!

It doesn't seem like there are a lot of veggie dishes according to the comments, though : (

As a vegetarian, it's my biggest fear of going to Japan, or many other countries.
There's always options, but I fear my lack of cultural knowledge would put my at a disadvantage in getting them.

I went to Japan with a friend who was vegetarian it it really was difficult to find dishes that were straight vegetarian.

Unlike western culture where you can order your food exactly the way you want it, Japan takes pride in their flavors and representation of dishes.

Asking them alter their entrée is like asking them to redo their artwork because you don’t think its good. It is also insulting to not eat all the food given to you on your plate, it represents that you hate their food. And you should never order more than what you can eat, if you leave leftovers it is considered wasteful and selfish.

So bring a friend with you that will eat the meat on your plates so you wont have to, lol.

yeahhh same. My SO and I really want to visit, we just have no idea what we'll eat, especially since even a lot of veggie dishes (such as soups) there have bonito in them. I feel like we'd be surviving off of Famima rice balls and edamame.

There are some good guides out there for vegetarian options, especially in Tokyo, but they all seem really expensive.

I wish that tourist friendly places like this would at least offer one or two veggie dishes. I feel like it's just a healthy option, even if you aren't vegetarian/vegan! Give us a Sylph Sandwich or something, plz.

What's disappointing for me is that it seems like the option for vegetarian dishes is rarely there to begin with, in Japan. You have Pork, Beef, and Chicken in a country that cannot even farm those animals, yet vegetable options are difficult to find. It's crazy, because I've had some amazing vegetarian Japanese food here in the US, it just doesn't seem like vegetarianism is very culturally acknowledged there, so restaurants rarely cater to vegetarians to begin with.

I guess I could just eat the seaweed from someone else's titan burger dish.

Japan gets all the cool sh**.

I don't know what I was more interested in, the hot girl into final fantasy or the awesome cafe. I'd pay good money for those coasters tho

It's cool to see it from a video perspective instead of just pictures people took. Thanks for sharing.
