Makurazaki City's Dashi ― Japan's Umami Culture Proud to the World
From Kagoshima to the world
Makurazaki City in Kagoshima Prefecture is a famous bonito flake producing area that has continued since the Edo period. The bonito flakes made here are essential to "dashi," the foundation of Japanese cuisine, and support the profound taste of Japanese food. Bonito flakes are said to be the "hardest food in the world" and symbolize Japanese food culture, which is registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The "inosinic acid" contained in bonito flakes, when combined with the "glutamic acid" of kombu, dramatically enhances umami. This synergistic effect is the secret that makes Japanese cuisine feel "simple yet profound." Low in calories, gentle on digestion, healthy yet satisfying—Makurazaki's dashi is truly a taste that condenses Japanese wisdom and culture.
Hokkaido's Tsukune-imo ― "Natural Cosmetics" Supporting Beauty and Health
Beauty begins inside — Hokkaido
The "tsukune-imo" nurtured by Hokkaido's clear air and cool climate is a type of yam with strong stickiness and excellent nutritional value. It has been consumed as a nourishing and strengthening food since ancient times, but in recent years it has been attracting attention from women who are conscious of health and beauty. Vitamin C helps collagen production and is essential for creating firm, beautiful skin. Furthermore, components with antioxidant effects protect the body from daily stress and aging damage, supporting youthfulness from within. Tsukune-imo is a natural gift that allows you to "eat deliciously and become beautiful." It's an ingredient that's gentle on the body and fulfills both beauty and health.
