채식

고기·생선을 먹지 않음 — 다만 일본에선 ‘채식’에도 생선 육수가 들어가기 쉽다.

일본식 채식

서양의 채식주의자 대부분은 고기와 생선을 피하되 유제품과 달걀은 먹는다(락토오보). 일본에서도 베지타리안이라는 말은 통하지만, ‘고기가 없으면 채식에 안전하다’는 전제는 다시 때문에 무너진다. 다시는 거의 모든 곳에 쓰이는 생선과 다시마 육수다.

채소 조림 한 접시, 미소시루 한 그릇, 소바 간장 소스에도 모두 가쓰오부시(가다랑어 포)가 들어 있을 수 있다. 많은 직원이 이를 언급할 생각을 못 하므로 직접 묻는 편이 좋다.

수월해지는 경우

정진 요리(shojin ryori, 불교 사찰 음식)는 본래 채식이며 다시마/표고 육수를 기반으로 한다. 인도 음식점, 늘어나는 카페, 그리고 많은 이자카야도 요청하면 진정으로 채식인 요리를 낼 수 있다. 튀김, 두부, 유바(yuba), 아게다시, 채소 초밥은 든든한 선택지다 — 튀김옷과 찍어 먹는 소스만 확인하면 된다.

이곳에서 채식 친화적인 곳을 필터로 찾은 뒤, 아래 문구로 육수를 확인하라.

일본에서 주의할 점

  • ‘채소’ 요리에 숨은 생선 육수(다시 / 가쓰오부시)
  • 샐러드와 볶은 채소 속의 베이컨이나 닭고기
  • 볶음 요리의 어장(피시 소스), 굴 소스, 새우
  • 젤리와 일부 디저트의 젤라틴

유용한 표현

  • 私はベジタリアンで、肉と魚は食べません。

    Watashi wa bejitarian de, niku to sakana wa tabemasen.

    I'm vegetarian — I don't eat meat or fish.

  • この料理に肉や魚のだしは入っていますか?

    Kono ryōri ni niku ya sakana no dashi wa haitte imasu ka?

    Does this dish contain meat or fish stock?
