— 30 Kinds of Vegetables in a Single Course
The signature kaiseki course uses more than 30 kinds of vegetables in a single course. With a monthly-changing composition and the commitment that a course once served will never be offered again, every visit brings encounters with different vegetables. For the vegetarian menu, the shop has developed its own "Minoya special vegetable dashi," made from kombu and various vegetables only. The light umami and natural sweetness of the vegetables come through clearly in the kaiseki style of Japanese cuisine. For customers who want to hold back on animal ingredients or avoid gokun (five pungent vegetables), the shop also accommodates customized courses upon consultation. Many of its customers are women and vegetarians, and the shop has gathered fans over the years as Japanese cuisine that is kind to both mind and body.
