Shigetsu

Shojin-ryori originated with the strict diets of Buddhist monks. This vegetarian cuisine is eco-friendly; because it uses no meat or fish, a diet of shojin-ryori reduces carbon dioxide emissions from animal husbandry and protects threatened marine resources. Eschewing food waste, the restaurant repurposes food cuttings as compost. Throughout the menu runs a subtext of the preciousness of nature.
