Justine, the creator of TokyoPony, developed a deep affection for Japan after discovering chopsticks and adopting a vegetarian lifestyle in the 1980s. Her first visit at age 40 sparked a lasting passion for Japanese cuisine, which she now expresses through creative vegan recipes. These dishes, inspired by traditional Japanese cooking and infused with her original twist, are designed to help readers feel more connected to Japan’s seasons and traditions.

Her website offers a unique blend of food and culture, inviting readers to explore the spirit of Japan through plant-based meals. With a travel section as well, TokyoPony is perfect for those seeking ideas and inspiration for their own journey to Japan.
