The number of Japan’s vegan restaurants has increased from 400 to approximately 1,000 over the past two years, according to Frembassy, a Tokyo-based website startup that allows people to search for restaurants that accommodate specific dietary requirements.

根据Frembassy公司的数据统计，日本纯素食餐馆在过去两年间发展迅速，数量由原来的400家扩增到大约1,000家。Frembassy公司是一家总部位于日本东京的网站初创公司；在该公司运营的网站上，人们可以搜索符合特定饮食要求的餐馆。

With the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics scheduled for this summer (which may be postponed due to COVID-19), a movement began in the country last year that involves local regions and political figures educating its restaurants on animal-free cuisine.

为了配合今年夏天举行的东京奥运会和残奥会（因COVID-19疫情可能需要延期），日本各地从去年开始推出了政界人物也踊跃参加的宣传教育活动，向餐饮服务业大力宣传推广无动物饮食。

Last November, the Japanese government began promoting services for vegetarians and vegans in preparation for foreign visitors ahead of the Olympic Games, including creating food guidelines to help restaurants increase their meatless menu options and certification marks to identify which items are vegetarian and vegan.

去年十一月份，日本政府开始提升对素食者和纯素食者的各项服务，提前为迎接前来观看奥运会的外国游客做好准备。为此，日本政府采取了一系列的有力措施，包括制订饮食指南帮助各餐馆增加无肉菜单项目，确定认证标志用于识别素食品和纯素食品，等等。
