Shojin cuisine is believed to have been imported to Japan along with the introduction of Buddhism. It originated from monks abstaining from eating fish and meat while earnestly practicing the Buddhist path. Therefore, it is characterized by the use of fresh ingredients such as vegetables, seaweed, soy products, miso, natto, tofu, yuba, wheat gluten, dried foods, sesame, and oil. Despite its simplicity, it places great importance on etiquette.

Temple Town Bento is a creation of our shop, designed to make it easy for you to enjoy Shojin cuisine, which is generally unfamiliar, in a familiar and convenient way, following the example of tea ceremony sweets. Please enjoy it with a refreshing feeling after visiting Zenkoji Temple. (Please allow about 20 minutes for preparation.)
