  1. This was a very well presented explanation of Shojin Ryori. I have experienced the food in Japan and found it delightful. One my next trip I plan to see what I can do about using it as a bit of a theme as I travel the countryside enjoying Japan. Thank you for your efforts.

  2. I didn't realise that there was a system of 5! 5 methods, 5 colours, 5 flavours that link to the 5 precepts of Buddhism. Super interesting, thank you so much for walking us through the foods!
