Review of 3000 yen set at Shigetsu by theveganhopper

This restaurant is located inside the Tenryuji Temple and offers a menu of Vegan Buddhist cuisine (Shojin Ryori).

My lunch consisted of several side dishes, miso soup, rice, tea, and dessert. You can taste the 5 basic flavors: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and umami. They also offer a dinner set, but that one is more expensive.

They have a traditional design where you sit on the floor on a tatami while you can enjoy the view of the temple gardens. Simply incredible.

It was a really nice experience. Just keep in mind that it is not a very cheap meal, but I recommend that you try a Shojin Ryori menu at least once during your stay in Japan.
