¡°In Japan, possibly because it¡¯s still a rare concept, I see some vegan groups that believe veganism must be preached,¡± says Soramaru Takayama, co-founder of the Vancouver-based dessert kitchen, Vegan Pudding & Co. ¡°Personally, I don¡¯t believe in convincing people on what they should and shouldn¡¯t eat.¡±
Takayama has just returned to Vancouver from Japan where he was the host of a talk event at a vegan cafe in Tokyo that recently started to carry his pudding mix.
¡°We should eat and cook what makes us happy¡± he says as he peruses the menu for vegan options at the Vancouver cafe at which we have met.
