For Vegetarians: Some of the dishes contain dashi, a soup stock made from kelp and bonito, which is essential in Japanese cuisine. If you cannot consume dashi, we may not be able to fully accommodate your dietary needs. Please also inform us if you can eat eggs and dairy product. If dashi is not suitable for you, we recommend booking a private tour where we can offer some alternatives. However, completely avoiding fish stock may still be challenging
