Shojin Ryori or Buddhist vegetarian cuisine ... The esthetic qualities of sumptuous meal are ineffable ! It is the local delicacy in koyasan, and it is served at the shukubo or the temple accommodation. The basic concepts are based on five flavors, five cooking methods and five colors. So the typical meal set includes a grilled side dish, a deep fried dish, a pickled dish, a tofu dish and a soup dish ! #kaiseki, shojin_ryori #vegan #koyasan #wakayama #japan #japanese_art #japanese_food
