Not at all, my title is entirely valid and accurate. Any vegetable that has been cooked in a vat of oil mixed in with meat and fish juice and components is not vegetarian, let alone vegan, by any stretch of imagination. One may recall the controversy with McDonalds and their french fries some 20 years ago: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mcdonalds-settles-beef-over-fries/ If this does not bother you, good for you! However, for many vegans/vegetarians who may not want to accidentally consume food that is in fact not vegetarian, I would think this warning should be welcomed. (When I first became vegetarian over 40 years ago, I did not initially know about all the pitfalls, such as gelatin in dessert, lard on baked goods, dashi, bouillon, oyster sauce, fish sauce, etc. and had to slowly acquire knowledge along the way. I only wish that I had been wiser sooner and quicker. Therefore, I wrote this review in the spirit of information dissemination.) I don't presume to know your particular definition of "veganism" and to tell you what to eat and what to avoid - I am merely giving out factual information. I was careful in saying "please be careful when you eat at Japanese..." which is a friendly warning, not an admonishment. Take it or leave it, but information is power, and it is vital for consumers to make informed decision. I was trying to be helpful. Don't worry, nobody is challenging your world views or your dietary preferences.
