Make nine traditional dishes using the three-fives principle of cooking: five colors, five flavors, and five cooking methods. Fry, grill, boil, steam or serve raw some seasonal vegetables and tofu in the Zen way. Watch a documentary video that explains all the details of the cuisine from the manners to the philosophy through showcasing three actual Zen temples.
After lunch join a Zen-style tea ceremony with a tea master and make your own green tea. Finish the day with a presentation about the seasoning and ingredients of shojin ryori from a well-known editor in the field. Take home a vast knowledge of recipes to make for yourself at home.
