Shojin Sushi Minamo: Vegan, Gluten-Free Sushi in Nishi-Shinsaibashi, Osaka
Shojin Sushi Minamo serves sushi built on the principles of shojin ryori, the plant-based cooking tradition developed in Japanese Buddhist temples, which excludes meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and pungent vegetables such as onion and garlic. The restaurant is in the basement of a building in Nishi-Shinsaibashi, central Osaka. A travel guide to the city describes the sushi here as completely vegan and gluten-free, built without any animal products. For travelers curious about shojin ryori but more comfortable with a familiar sushi format than a full temple-style multi-course meal, this restaurant offers a more approachable entry point into the same dietary tradition.
