Medicine Eatstation Restaurant

Last night, I went to Medicine Eatstation Restaurant in San Francisco. The style of food is called "new shojin", which is a Japanese Buddhist monk style vegetarian food. All vegetarian, with lots of tofu. We got the Kaiseki tasting menu with matching sake pairings.
昨日の晩「Medicine Eatstation」と言うレストランへ食べに行った。「Medicine」とは日本語で「薬」だ。会社のスローガンは「New Shojin」（新しい精進）だ。精進料理だろう。全部ベジタリアンで、沢山豆腐があった。かいせきのセットとお勧めの日本酒にした。

Last November, we went for Kaiseki food (non vegetarian) in Kyoto's Gion district and also had a tofu-based meal at the Nagoya train station. This meal seemed different than both of these.
去年の１１月に京都の祇園でかいせき料理（ベジタリアンじゃなかった)を食べた。そして名古屋駅で豆腐の料理を食べた。そのはちょっと違う。

It was all good． And the vegetarian shojin food was interesting, with many unusual ingredients. But the one challenge was that the meal is not very filling, so we could feel the sake affecting us. After dinner, we stopped in Chinatown and I bought a pork bun to eat on the way home.
美味しかった。そして珍しい具なので精進料理は面白かった。でも食べ物はあまり十分じゃないのでほろよかったんだ。晩ご飯の後、中国町で豚まんを食べて帰った。
