Nearly 20 years ago (it will be 20 years this October), this forum started as a mailing list. Personally, since moving to Facebook, I’ve neglected the mailing list for many years now, but it’s still up and running. Recently, a few mailing list participants have been exchanging information about places that cater to vegetarians and vegans. In that thread Mr. Yagi of the Kumamoto City International Center has posted several jpgs from the “Kumamoto City Vegetarian Guide Map”:

By the way, when I started the mailing list in 1999, Mr. Yagi was extremely supportive and helpful. He encouraged me to put a flier up in the International Center to let more people know about the new list. Thanks again, Mr. Yagi. Kumamoto International now has nearly 4,000 likes. We owe a big portion of our success to your early help.
Getting back to vegetarian and vegan restaurants, another response to the inquiry came from J. D. Marland

and Jerry Conrad recommended a curry shop called “Yagi” (probably not related to Mr. Yagi of the International Center).

I think these are good leads but not exhaustive. In fact, I can think of one place that hasn’t been mentioned yet. When I have more time, I’ll try to post that as a comment. Any other recommendations will be welcome in comments to this post. Or, of course, you can join the mailing list and participate there. Thanks!
