It looks like meat, but it's not! A long-established restaurant serving meatless vegetarian dishes, "Shirogane Kisokukan"

This dish looks like sweet and sour pork, but what looks like meat is actually not meat! It is made with soy meat, which has been a hot topic in Japan recently. The dumplings in the soup, which look like fish paste, are also made from plant-based ingredients, not fish. The texture is like real meat or fish, and the seasoning is strong, so it was very satisfying to eat. In Chinese, dishes made with soy products that look like meat, without using meat, are called "sushi". In China, this "vegetarian" culture has a very long history, and it was enjoyed even before Buddhism was introduced to China. It seems that it was fused with Buddhist thought and developed even further with the invention of tofu. China's "vegetarian" culture is now enjoyed even in places that have nothing to do with religion, and there are many "vegetarian" restaurants throughout the city. This restaurant is a long-established restaurant that has been loved by locals and has been in business for over 10 years. I hope you will experience the "vegetarian" culture when you travel to China! 📍Amateur Record Restaurant (Juzengai Store) ☑︎Address No. 650, Juquan Street, Gushu District, Suzhou City ☑︎Business hours 11:00-14:00 17:00-21:00 ☑︎Access 1km walk from Nanyuan Bei Road subway station #Overseas travel #China #China travel #Chinese food #Vegetarian #Suzhou
