Alright, Im honestly surprised. Vegetarian diets arent very common outside of the USA and parts of India* from my understanding. I figured there wouldnt be any indicators.

*From my understanding, while a number of Hindu Indian people identify as vegetarian the number who are is lower. Still considering that, I would expect to be able to easily find vegetarian options in many parts of India.

You are right about India having a lot and wrong about the US.

Also you can go to CoCoIchi or Mos Burger basically anywhere in Japan and get vegetarian curry or burger. Also no matter how middle of nowhere I go in Japan there is always at least one Indian restaurant, so I can't imagine not actually being able to find vegetarian food. Kyoto has way more than normal though, it has some Buddhist restaurants similar to what you see in Taiwan.

Edit: That source says 9% of Japan is vegetarian, but my search in Japanese for percent total vegetarians and vegan gets either 6 or 7%, so I think that one is overestimating it. But this is saying US is 5% vegetarian or vegan, so Japan is still a higher percent.
