The Inspectors Reveal All on Daigo, One MICHELIN Star Restaurant Specializing in Shojin Ryori
"The entrance gate to Seishoji Temple, with Atago Green Hills Forest Tower where Daigo is located visible just behind it. Shojin ryori, a form of vegetarian cuisine, has a long history. It was originally a type of vegetarianism practiced by Buddhists. Daigo follows the Buddhist philosophy of the Three Minds and offers a unique take on shojin cuisine. Despite shojin ryori’s focus on vegetarian ingredients, this restaurant uses bonito-flake broth in many dishes, believing that serving delicious food is paramount to hospitality. The restaurant displays creativity unrestrained by any fixed ideas so that guests can enjoy the finest hospitality during their visit." - The MICHELIN Guide
