The owners and staff at Matsuya Ryokan in Shibu Onsen were careful to make us vegan breakfast both days. I wish I'd taken my camera the first day, because there was beautiful Japanese eggplant (it's small) in a sweet-salty brown sauce. Okay, so there might've been a little fish broth hidden in the sauces. In fact, in the soup at the top, there's a white & pink circle, which is a slice of fish paste, often added to soups as a garnish. I didn't eat the fish paste, but the thing about being vegan is you do the best you can and don't have to be perfect. All the food was delicious. Yes, the Japanese like to eat veggies, rice, lettuce salad, and miso soup at breakfast. Ours was especialy delicious with various potatoes, seasoned tofu, and mushrooms.
