January 8, 2025: Empower Your Cells with Our January "Food-as-Medicine Recipe" from Herbal Pharmacist Ai Okubo

January marks the beginning of a new year. After a long holiday, daily routines can easily become disrupted, potentially leading to physical ailments. Kampo pharmacist Ai Okubo introduces "food and medicine recipes" to help you welcome the new year in good health.
This month's key ingredient is kiwi. It contains many antioxidants that are perfect for anti-aging care during the cold season. It is also rich in nutrients beneficial to women, such as vitamin C, dietary fiber, iron, and folic acid!


Kiwi is an excellent ingredient not only for desserts but also as a marinade for meat. This month's two recipes are "Pork Steak with Kiwi Salsa Sauce" to improve tired skin from the base, and "Kiwi and Yellowtail Carpaccio" to help refresh your mood and skin. Let's welcome the new year with vitality!

We look forward to your comments and Instagram posts.
