Would 'Shoujin Ryouri' be the term you are trying to remember?
I actually recommend that vegertarian foreign tourists to Japan ask a local or the front desk of their hotel where they can eat Shoujin Ryouri instead of going to regular restaurants and ask for vegetarian dishes because of the hidden non-veggie elements that have been discussed in this thread.
There may not be a restaurant specializing in Shoujin Ryouri in a small town, but there are always those places in larger cities.
