Japanese medicinal food (Yakuzen) refers to dishes made using ingredients and cooking methods that suit each person’s physical conditions based on ideas from ​​oriental medicine. Japanese medicinal food helps to relieve illnesses and adjust imbalances in your body, and it is also useful for symptoms such as cold sensitivity and physical fatigue.

In Yakuzen, we consider calorie calculation and factors other than nutrients in a complex manner. Even dishes with the same calorie amounts can have differing natures such as warming and cooling the body or adjusting your gastrointestinal function. For example; if someone who has a cold body eats something that cools their body because that food is known to be healthy, their gastrointestinal will be weakened and their body will become fragile even though they are getting nourishment.

The menu has been finalized after due consideration of many variables, like the nature of the food, its taste and effects on the body. There are dishes that warm the body on cold days for people who are cold, and there are dishes that cool the body on hot days for people who are hot.

In addition, there are four seasons in Japan, and the changes that occur in the body change with each season. Seasonal foods and local foods are useful in relieving the symptoms that occur from time to time.

For example; foods in the hot and humid summer season have the function of cooling the body and discharging moisture from the body so that it does not accumulate. The idea of ​​Japanese medicinal food is to consider all aspects of the seasons, area, physical conditions and characteristics.
