Thank you for visiting my website!
I am Hiromi, born and raised in Hokkaido, located in the northern part of Japan.

What is Yakuzen?

Yakuzen is a Japanese food therapy based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and aims to help you maintain good health, improve physical/mental conditions, and prevent diseases.

After experiencing various health issues, I’ve come to truly realize just how much the food I choose to eat impacts my body.
In addition, as I studied Yakuzen, I realized that the meals traditionally eaten in Japanese households have actually been well thought out and are quite logical. 

On this website, I am sharing with you how vegetables, herbs, meat, fish, and other foods can affect our bodies according to the Yakuzen philosophy.
You will also find Japanese home-cooking dishes you can cook with ingredients available at local supermarkets.
I would be very grateful if this website could help brighten your day.

There are billions of food products out there and it's all up to you to choose what to eat.
Let’s embrace healthy eating and live a joyful life!
