Why SHOJIN MANIA?

What is Shojin?

You might have heard the term Shojin and wondered, “What exactly does that mean?” Well, let me explain!

Shojin comes from Shojin Ryori, a traditional Japanese plant-based cuisine that originated in Buddhist temples. It focuses on seasonal vegetables, grains, and tofu, all prepared in a way that’s nourishing for both body and soul. No animal products, no artificial ingredients—just pure, natural flavours.

The word Shojin itself means “devotion” or “discipline,” which reflects not just the cooking but the entire lifestyle behind it. It’s about approaching food and life with mindfulness and respect, staying connected to nature and the seasons.
