This dish is perfect when you have a poor appetite due to summer lethargy. 

This is a classic summer dish in Japan using popular summer veggies, eggplants and bell peppers.

Bitter melon is a popular summer vegetable in Japan these days and this great combination with pork is beneficial for preventing summer fatigue.

From Yakuzen's perspective, edamame replenishes Qi (vital energy) and promotes blood circulation.

This Japanese Rei-shabu salad is highly recommended on the recent hot summer days.
