On first thought, the words vegan and sushi strung together seems like a contradiction, but this eatery seamlessly combines the two to offer delicious rice rolls. Shizen Vegan Sushi Bar & Izakaya breaks away from the popular notion that sushi means raw seafood by substituting vegan ingredients for meat and dairy products. It applies the Shojin style of cooking, a Buddhist technique that endorses “Ahimsa” or “non-violence” and uses ingredients like Voodoo Lily, Mountain Yam and Tofu. Savor vegan sushi rolls with quirky names like Hidden Agenda, a blend of tempura eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, yellow onion, garlic aioli and sweet soy sauce. Other options include Surprise Ending with avocado and kale, and the pumpkin-based Open Invitation. The Izakaya also serves a variety of Japanese beverages.
