I love Japanese also. At the restaurants where I live they have great grilled vegetables, so he can enjoy his vegetables while you enjoy ur food. Or better yet try other alternatives while dining together. Eat some place where he can get a great salad or vegetarian meal.

I'm quite opposite of you..I'm a vegetarian and my bf is not. He love Japanese food especially sushi and sashimi. When we go to places like this there are always things I can get, such as vegetable tempera "lightly fried assorted fresh Vegetables" or Agedashi Nasu" fried Eggplant with ground Ginger and Bonito flake topping" and many more. Call ahead of time and ask the restaurant what vegetarian type dishes they have available. If they dont have exactly what he is looking for...many places will be happy to accommodate and make a vegetarian dish specially for him.

The Japanese restaurants I (vegetarian) go to are more than happy to bring me all manner of vegetarian what-not, while bringing my other half non-vegetarian, er, what-not.
Soups. Vegetable tempura. Fish-less sushi. Some places have a few other vegetarian oddities not frequently seen.
Last time we went to a Japanese place together, I ordered a prix fixe vegetarian meal; a soup-salad-entrée thing. He ordered just soup and an entrée; I'm not even sure the salad was on the menu. Anyway, they brought him a salad as well (free) -- very nice. In most cities, in most restaurants, in 2006, vegetarianism is hardly a problem.
That said, Oriental restaurants are usually the worst when it comes to thinking of fish as vegetarian. But I'm sure the guy has experience with ordering in restaurants; don't worry about it.

I am married to someone who's not vegitarian and I am. I don't know much about Japanese food but we go to chinese and mexican places all the time and there is plenty for vegitarians to eat. At the chines place they have a vegitable (well for lack of a better thing to call it I guess it would be called stir fry?). I cook for both me and my husband and Morning Star farms has these "Veggie crumbles" that can be used just like ground beef, so I put them in any hamburger helper meal. Most restaurants can figure out something to cook for your friend.

compromise. as a vegetarian, i would hate always being taken out somewhere with no meatless food, but i understand you like japanese food which is largely seafood-based. so, find a place with both kinds of food, prepare your own, or alternate between restaurants so everyone is happy.

That's odd. I married a vegetarian and I wasn't one. It never really occured to me that our relationship might be made more difficult by the fact that he was a veggie. In fact, I actually wondered if my eating meat would gross HIM out. In our case, it didn't and we lived happily ever after.

Japanese cuisine (as well as many other Asian cuisines) has a ton of vegetarian dishes. It shouldn't be a problem to accomodate his needs, there are so many vegetarian-friendly places out there.

Have HIM cook for you.That's usually what I end up doing.I don't think they are japanese but I will make veggie spring rolls,veggie chow mein,stir fry veggies,and veggie fried rice.I'm sure he will be more than willing to cook for you,it could be an enjoyable experience for both of you.

Eat what you want. If he is not a psychopath or a control freak your eating habits should be none of his business. If he tries to change you against your will, I'd run. If he changes you in that aspect, what else will he want to change?

many foriegn reasturants have things that are vegetrian friendly. go out on a date at one that you know falls under the catagory of "vegetrianisim". and know what, he will respect your meat-eating ways if you respect his vegetrianisim habits. just relax, and enjoy each other's company.
