For hundreds of years, Zen monks in Japan have been eating a style of cuisine called Shojin Ryori. It focuses on humble but delicious dishes with unique flavors and emphasizes restricting the consumption of meat. This makes it perfect for vegetarians and vegans in Japan, a country where standard meals are usually unaccommodating to such preferences. Learn to make veggie tempura, tofu salad, special soups and more with this unique cooking course. Study the history of Buddhism. Experience a taste of the ancient and modern Zen customs and etiquette as you make your meal from Japan’s best and most delicious seasonal ingredients.
