Vegetarian

Vegetarian dishes have been popular around the world for millennia. In Japan, meat was outlawed by the Emperor for hundreds of years, driving the development of plant-based dishes. Many of these recipes come from that period of Japanese history. Some come from cultural traditions that require abstaining from meat. Others are new innovations using unique ingredients to boost umami and flavor. Whether you're looking for something light and refreshing, or hearty and warming, you'll find inspiration here. The flavors range from mellow and comforting to fiery and invigorating.
