One of the five precepts of the religion is Fusessho (Thou shalt not kill), so monks and believers naturally shun killing animals for food. Though shojin cuisine appears simple, its taste trumps any expensive gourmet meal--and it's all accomplished using only the natural flavors of the freshest of vegetables, which are delicately seasoned. |
