Japan’s sophisticated Buddhist vegetarian cuisine.
Shojin ryori is a vegetarian cuisine that does not contain any meat or fish, instead focusing on seasonal vegetables and mountain plants. It frequently uses no animal products at all making it suitable for vegans too.It has a lavish appearance, with many small dishes arranged in a lacquered set.
Strong flavours such as onions, chives, garlic and ginger, are avoided as they are thought to interfere with asceticism.
It can be eaten at lodgings and restaurants in Koyasan.
