A Cozy Vegan Experience in Japan’s Sauna Culture

For vegan travelers exploring Japan, finding plant-based options can sometimes feel challenging. But worry no more—Kagoshima’s Hotel New Nishino now offers an exquisite vegan spice curry, providing a hearty and flavorful meal that is both satisfying and nourishing.

Located in the heart of Kagoshima City, Hotel New Nishino is well known for its traditional sauna facilities, offering an immersive relaxation experience. Now, they have partnered with the famous local spice curry restaurant, Chabuya Curry Hall, to introduce an exclusive vegan dish that brings out the rich flavors of hand-selected spices and fresh vegetables.

A Flavorful Recovery After Sauna

Saunas are a crucial part of Japan’s wellness culture, and after a deep sweating session, your body craves replenishment. The newly introduced vegan spice curry is carefully crafted to restore minerals and nutrients lost through perspiration, helping your body recover and feel revitalized.

The fragrant spices used in the curry not only add depth to the flavor but also support circulation and digestion, making it the perfect post-sauna meal. Specially blended to match Kagoshima’s climate, this curry provides a heartwarming and comforting taste experience, ideal for both locals and travelers seeking plant-based options.

This vegan-friendly spice curry is a limited offering—it is available only for hotel guests and sauna users at Yuagari Shokudo, the hotel’s in-house dining space. After unwinding in the sauna, you can enjoy this nutritious meal in a relaxed atmosphere.
