February 27, 2019 - Shukubo at Wakoin Temple (Buddhist cuisine) in Tottori

Before having the Buddhist cuisine here, my perception of the cuisine was boring and lack of taste. The full course of this meal here proved me wrong. Many dishes were made from seasonal foods (with root vegetables in winter and fresh vegetables in spring) besides using the bean curd and tofu as main ingredients. I was amazed by the variety of tastes and flavours made possible by this humble cooking.

This beautifully presented dish was prepared using sesame as main ingredient.
