V Rating: V-ware Furusato is a vegetarian conundrum. You ask for a vegetarian udon, you’re told you’ve got vegetarian udon and yet something about the dish just doesn’t feel right. Say, the white seafood cake garnish? I went to Furusato with some friends for the special lunch menu (certain dishes for about $8). While undeniably good value, nothing on the menu was ostensibly vegetarian. Also, the waitress didn’t understand the word vegetarian. This caused me some anxiety which wasn’t allayed by the arrival of the fish cake. Despite this very V-ware lunch experience,a check of the Furusato menu suggests that it does cater for vegetarians. There are two veggie entrees, and a few vegetarian mains (tempura, teriyaki and sushi). Combined with the pleasant outdoor courtyard and authentic Japanese food, I initially decided to give Furusato the benefit of doubt and allocate them a VV rating (just). However, I recently went back to Furusato and tried to order the vegetarian teriyaki for the lunch special. There are four teriyaki dishes on the main menu (three meat and one veggie). While you can get the three main meat dishes for the much cheaper lunch special, you can only get the vegetarian as a main. Even when you explain that you are vegetarian and don’t eat meat. So, for price disrimination against vegetarians, Furusato gets a V-ware. Post a comment
