Pescetarianism in Japan

I've tried a variety of different foods from all over the world but nothing beats Japanese food, I'm in love with it and recommend it to anybody who may not of tried it before. The Japanese diet consists of rice, fish, meats, noodles, Soya products like; tofu, Miso, Soya sauce, Natto and the list goes on to all eternity. I'm a pescetarian and although you can survive perfectly well on this diet in Japan, there are a few things to expect like being questioned on why you don't eat meat and other times perhaps they might be a little surprised... So overall it is uncommon for someone not to eat meat and take themselves out from the culture in that small degree. You will also sometimes have to remind the people around if you don't follow a regular diet. Nonetheless, the fruits and vegetables here are very high in quality and the fish is delicious too! I met someone who is a raw vegan here and he managed that perfectly fine, but it must of been challenging at that start! If a raw vegan can survive in Japan then a vegan or a vegetarian shouldn't have any problems! I just came back from a BBQ and fortunately the weather was quite nice, I stuck with the veg, Sanma, squid, Yaki-Onigiri combo but was offered meats at times. Mmmmm, Yaki-Onigiri.
