Navigating the Japanese Vegan Scene with Leonore

Welcome back, plant-powered aficionados, to another enlightening episode of the Plant Fuelled Podcast! I'm your host and plant-based nutrition enthusiast, Callum Weir. Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with my dear friend Leonore, a seasoned nutritionist based in Japan.

Join us as we embark on a journey through Leonore's fascinating life story, from her upbringing in Germany as a vegetarian to her evolution into a dedicated advocate for the vegan lifestyle, particularly after relocating to Japan. In our conversation, we delve into the unique challenges and triumphs of navigating the Japanese vegan scene as an expatriate with limited language skills.

From discussing essential nutrients like omega-3, folate, and iodine to exploring the cultural nuances surrounding fish consumption in Japan, our dialogue touches on a myriad of topics that shed light on the intersection of nutrition and culture. We delve into the concept of blue zones, drawing inspiration from places like Okinawa known for their longevity and vibrant health despite being surrounded by the waters rich in seafood.

But that's not all! Leonore's passion for sharing her knowledge and experiences led her to create a comprehensive Vegan in Japan guide—a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the culinary delights of Japan through a plant-based lens.
