From February 6th to 15th, 2025, Chivitr will host another exceptional culinary event with renowned Shojin Ryori master Toshio Tanahashi. This exclusive 10-day experience offers guests the unique opportunity to discover the ancient art of Zen Buddhist vegetarian cuisine. Shojin Ryori, a Japanese tradition dating back to the 6th century, is a culinary tradition and spiritual practice dedicated to the purification of body and soul. The event focuses on the artisanal preparation of plant-based ingredients, where five colors and five flavors are harmoniously combined in each meal, utilizing seasonal and regional produce.

Toshio Tanahashi, born in 1960, enriches this event with his extensive experience and expertise. His career in shojin-ryori cuisine includes a three-year apprenticeship at Gesshinji Temple, the founding of the renowned Tokyo restaurant Gesshinkyo, and international recognition through demonstrations at prestigious venues such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Tanahashi's collaborations with world-class chefs like Alain Ducasse and Daniel underscore his innovative approach to shojin cuisine.

Participants in this limited-enrollment event can expect a comprehensive experience, including hands-on workshops on Shojin Ryori techniques, lectures on the philosophy and history of this traditional cuisine, and exquisite menus prepared by Master Tanahashi. The event also promises insights into how the traditional principles of Shojin Ryori can be applied to modern food trends and sustainability considerations.
