Master Chef Hiroki Abe Earned a Michelin Star for His Shojin Ryori Menu Omakase

At Kajitsu in NYC, chef Abe creates a very traditional Shojin Ryori menu, a vegetarian menu originally served by Japanese Buddhist monks. Greg: Bravo to the chef. I once took an Indian who identified as a Brahmin to eat Chinese vegetarian food in Tokyo. He wouldnt touch it. The next day I took him out to eat Japanese Shojin Ryori which he ate with gusto. I asked him why he rejected the former and he said the idea is not to eat meat and that the Chinese version looked too much like animal matter. I thought both were delicious but being an omnivore myself, I felt hungry an hour later. Shojin food doesnt try to make veggies into meat.

Does it use fish derivatives like, bonito flakes for dashi stock, I would like to understand, because in India vegetarian means absolutely no meat or meat products (except milk and it's products) the Indian government issues a green mark for absolutely vegetarian food.

I really admire the dedication of Japanese people when they're working on their craft. though I wonder if they feel stressed at times, because this kind of dedication needs a lot of time, energy, patience and willpower, especially if there's no end goal.

I'm a chef with quite a few years experience in cooking in decent restaurants (Michelin stars) but every omakase series makes me wanna go and be their apprentice! Great job eater by documenting these!

Some people are misunderstanding. Shojin cuisine is a recipe that complies with Buddhist laws. It does not mean that animals and plants are not killed. Japanese Buddhism views plants as life.

I like the way he prepares the food, very calm and focused. Even during prep, everything is done calmly. Not like other kitches i've seen with shouting chefs and rushing assistants.

The food has been processed through many steps, i. e. the corn is boiled then blended, mixed with flour, fried, and seared in flyer pan. I question the necessity and his philosophy.

On top of the phenomenal people making these culturally rich and artful foods, Eater has to be given almost as much credit for this amazing videography. I love this series
