Shojin cuisine is originally Buddhist vegetarian cooking...and the word Shojin is derived from translation of a Buddhist word in India, meaning “to drive out the evil thoughts and strive for Buddhism with one's whole heart”.

It is said to have begun Japanese style Shojin cooking during 13th century by Dogen Zenji, a founder of Soto sect of Zen, one of the Buddhism religions in Japan .

He taught: daily cooking is one of the most essential training and it is important to make the most of natural flavors and pour your heart into whatever ingredients, not discriminating them.

Inspired with his spirits, we aim to offer healthy and delicious meals using organic and natural foods to achieve your healthy and happy life, giving our whole mind to the name, Shojin.
