日本の精進料理レストラン紹介記事。
中野ブロードウェイって、東京住んでた頃も結局行かないままだったなー。
foodie
意味 [C] (くだけて) 料理好き; 食通, グルメ.
Shojin cuisine is made up of vegetarian meals based on a Buddhist monk’s diet. It’s not something you’ll find everywhere, but it was–and still is–a great option for plant-based dining. Our own Japanese-language reporter and foodie Mr. Sato decided to visit a Shojin restaurant recently in Nakano Broadway, a shopping center just a few minutes from the city center.

日本食って出汁の魚介があるから、ベジメニューの選択肢意外と少ないよね。
proprietress
意味 [C] (かたく· やや古)proprietor の女性形 ((男女共用)proprietor[C] (かたく) （店舗· 企業などの） 所有者 (owner).)
It’s called Kohrinbou, and the kitchen uses absolutely no meat or fish. When Mr. Sato, who is a major fan of meat but recently learned he should be eating less of it, got to talking with the proprietress, he became very convinced of the benefits of a plant-based diet.

あえて女性形で書いてるから、丁寧に女将が教えてくれたのかな。
vigilance
意味 警戒, 用心
As if she’d had problems before, the first thing the proprietress told him when he entered the restaurant was that they didn’t use meat or fish in their dishes. Mr. Sato was actually grateful for her vigilance. Since being diagnosed with gall stones, Mr. Sato has been told to eat a lot less fish and meat than before, so he has to be vigilant himself.

よく読まず入店して難癖つける人居そうだもんなー。
burdock
意味 [C] [植] ゴボウ (欧米では食用にせず, 雑草扱い).
Though the menu had interesting-looking dishes like “Ninja-age”, a fried meat substitute made with carrots and potatoes, and “Chinpira-age”, a fried meat substitute made with burdock root and other vegetables, he decided to go with the Daily Special Set Meal (“Higawari Teishoku”) for 1,100 yen (US$7.54), which the proprietress recommended.

lustrous
意味 (かたく) 光沢 [つや] のある, 輝く, 光る; 輝かしい, すばらしい
The woman running the restaurant is 76 years old, though she didn’t look it at all. Her posture was straight and tall, her movement was fluid and stable, and her skin looked lustrous. She said it’s all thanks to eating Shojin cuisine. “It’s because I eat it myself and have been maintaining my health that I can recommend it to my customers,” she said. Mr. Sato couldn’t help but think that was very persuasive.

ベジタリアンの方って結構カサカサ肌なイメージだけど、体質によるんだろうな。
testament
意味 [U][C] (かたく)[単数形で]＜…の＞ 証拠, 証明 ＜to＞
While they were talking, the proprietress also offered to demonstrate her grip strength to Mr. Sato. She was way stronger than she looked! It almost hurt. And that was an extra testament to the power of a vegetarian diet, proof to Mr. Sato that you can still be healthy and strong without eating any meat and fish.

sway
意味 （意見などを変えるよう）〈人〉を揺さぶる, ぐらつかせる; 〈意見など〉を傾かせる, 左右する （しばしば受け身で）
Mr. Sato received so much power from the proprietress, as well as the delicious vegetarian meal, that he felt like he might just be swayed to become a vegetarian…as long as he could eat here every day. If you feel like you need a burst of energy, he highly recommends you stop by Kohrinbou and get a little power-up yourself!
