The end of the year is the time of year when the winter solstice arrives, the weather becomes colder, and "yin" is at its peak.
In terms of the five internal organs, kidney problems are more likely to occur.
The term "kidney" refers not only to the internal organ kidney, but also to the ability of "energy" that controls growth, reproduction, and aging, as well as
the ability to collect ch'i throughout the body and expel unwanted substances from the body.
In other words, enhancing the function of the kidneys improves detoxification and metabolism.
For our year-end detox lunch, we have prepared a special menu that will help you to work on your "kidneys,"
and regulate your intestinal environment to promote natural elimination.
The key ingredient is kelp.
As a black food, it is not only good for the kidneys, but its sticky ingredient "fucoidan" can be expected to have various health benefits as a water-soluble dietary fiber with high detoxifying power.
In addition, attention is paid to natto (fermented soybeans) and nazuke (pickles), two traditional Japanese fermented foods that are effective in regulating the intestinal environment.
Bacillus natto and Bacillus butyric acid bacteria contained in these two products are said to be very effective in improving the intestinal environment
among many fermented foods.
Zenbo cuisine is free of animal products, flour, and white sugar, and uses traditional fermented seasonings.
Zenbo cuisine highlights the flavors of its ingredients, heightens the senses, and enhances one's own metabolic functions.
In this season of stress and feasting, we hope you will enjoy
special detox menu for the end of the year to cleanse the inside of your body and
special Zenbo dishes to welcome the New Year with a good feeling.
