NWVEG Dine-Out: Obon Shokudo Restaurant

NWVEG Dine-Out: Obon Shokudo Restaurant Obon is a tasty bit of Japan gone vegan. The restaurant is warm and the staff welcoming. Don't expect the usual sushi, but you can't miss with an onigiri (rice ball). If you want to try something different, their okonomiyake (Japanese pancake/pizza) is a must. Their homemade curry is bold and loaded with flavor. Bring a friend and share the dishes. The word “obon” (pronounced oh bone) refers to a summer celebration honoring ancestors.
