japanese food contains a lot of vegetables and in retaurants you can sk them to serve you the dish without meat

sometimes you won't know what sauce they will cook with the veggie.
they might use fish sauce or any non-vegetarian sauce D:

u r right. actually i did a part time job in a japanese restaurant and although the sauce we used the most was soy sauce, we also used non vegetarian sauces like ponzu. but japanese cuisine is very rich and there are a lot of dishes without non vegetarian sauces and others where the sauce is served seperated from the dish. I guess the difficult part is to know which dish has the sauce or meat in it and which one doesnt. it s a bit complicated i agree
