비거니즘(Veganism)의 인기가 높아지면서, 특히 일본에서 채식주의자들은 이제 완전히 비건과 비건 친화적 식당에서 라멘을 즐길 수 있게 되었다. 여기 교토에서 방문해야 할 3 곳을 소개해 드린다.
사가노유는 교토의 인기 있는 아라시야마 지역에 있는 약간 독특한 카페다. 이전에 센토 (대중목욕탕)로 쓰였던 이곳은 목욕탕의 흔적을 아직 남긴채 오늘날의 현대식 카페로 리모델링되었다. 타일 아트, 거울과 수도꼭지가 많아 향수를 불러일으킨다. 메뉴는 팬케이크와 디저트, 런치 세트에는 가볍게 샐러드, 파스타나 카레 밥이 있다. 맛있는 러스크 (rusk)와 크래커를 포함한 일본 간식도 판매 중이다. 게다가, 위층에 있는 갤러리에는 장인 실내 장식 모델 (자카)이 전시되어 있다. 사가노유는 오전 11시부터 오후 8시까지 영업하며, 가장 가까운 역은 JR 사가 아라시야마 역과 케이후쿠 전철 란덴 사가 역이다.
Taizō-in is the oldest sub-temple of the Myōshin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, situated in the northwest of Kyoto, Japan. It was founded by Zen priest Muinsoin in 1404. The original temple buildings were burned during the Ōnin War, and were later rebuilt. Taizō-in is well known for its two gardens. [Wikipedia]
Ninna-ji Temple was founded in 888 and is a Buddhist temple in northeast Kyoto that is closely associated with the imperial family of Japan. It is the main temple of the Omuro school of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. There are many Omuro School temples throughout Japan and many priests from these temples come to Ninna-ji to attend Buddhist services and to study and train in the main temple of their sect. Ninna-ji Temple is known not only for the building itself, but also for its prime location as a viewpoint for the late cherry blossom. He also has a beautiful Japanese garden from which you can see the famous five-story pagoda. Behind Ninna-ji Temple is the Omuro Pilgrimage, a shorter version of the Shikoku pilgrimage. This route can be covered in about two hours on foot, but is believed to have the same meaning as the Shikoku pilgrimage.
Ryoanji Temple is home to Japan’s most famous Zen stone garden and one of Kyoto’s most iconic scenes. Believed to be built back in the Muromachi period (14th - 16th century), the origin and designer of the garden is still unknown to this day. The stones in the garden are intentionally placed so that one cannot view all 15 stones from any one angle. The meticulous design of this karesansui (Japanese rock garden) leads many to credit the celebrated artist, Soami, as the garden’s creator—albeit unproven. The 248-square meter garden bears little trace of greenery, and is instead immaculately lined with raked white gravel. The seemingly random placement of the stones adds to the mystique of Ryoan-ji, its abstract layout leaving visitors questioning the meaning and purpose of the garden. While the garden remains a mystery, the history of Ryoanji Temple is well documented. The temple buildings were originally a Heian Period villa, and were converted into a Zen temple in 1450. Now, Ryoanji is part of the Myoshin-ji school in the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. In 1994, Ryoanji’s immaculate zen stone garden was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is also designated as a Historic Monument of Ancient Kyoto.
