Founded and opened by Monk Jeongsan,
Sanchon is a
vegan-friendly restaurant that mainly serves temple foods. The
dishes found here are a results of Kim Yun-sik, who was inspired
by the simple, clean and healthy diet that a Buddhist practitioner taught
him years ago. Now, being a top authority on vegetarian
food in Korea, Kim Yun-sik helped perfect the standard and quality of
temple food.
The dishes are made with all natural ingredients such as vegetables and mountain herbs, and are cooked without chemical additives. The actual dishes served vary by season, and in order to meet the tastes of the general public, the
restaurant includes "five spices" (garlic, shallots, mountain leeks, etc.), which monks are typically not allowed to eat. Those who would like their food without these ingredients are asked to make their request at least one day prior to visiting.
