5 Japanese drinks you should try
Instead of “stronger” coffee, we try aojira, amazake and Japanese herbal teas.
Today we’ll talk about Japanese drinks that are worth trying not only for their health benefits, but also for their taste. After all, you need to start the morning on a positive and tasty note.
Aojiru
Remember when it was fashionable to drink green juices, when you put celery, cucumber, broccoli and other vegetables in a blender, which were supposed to make a super-healthy (but questionable-tasting) drink? The Japanese have a long-tested recipe for this. In Japan, people drink aojiru en masse - it is a dietary supplement in the form of a green powder, which is made from barley leaves grown on organic eco-farms. Translated from Japanese, “aojiru” means “green juice”. The trick is that one serving of this drink replaces the daily intake of vegetables. Vitamins, macroelements, minerals and amino acids that we do not get from vegetables are compensated with one movement of the hand.Aojiru slows down the aging process, supports the immune system, and increases overall energy levels. Drinking aojira is simple - mix the contents of the sachet with water, juice or milk.
To try: aojiru with lactic acid bacteria and matcha flavor, aojiru with fruit and vegetable enzymes and bamboo charcoal, aojiru - young barley stalks
Herbal teas
They drink tea not only for the taste of the drink, but also for a pleasant conversation, to warm up after the chill of the street, or to have a heart-to-heart talk late into the night. Teas with different effects are popular in Japan. If you are “caught up” at work or tired of sorting things out, brew a mug of herbal tea to help your body under stress. Rosehip, echinacea, sage and ginseng in La Sincere La Sincia IN/OUT OCHA STRESS tea will carefully balance the entire body and give strength.And to improve your sleep, brew a cup of herbal soothing tea La Sincere La Sincia IN/OUT OCHA SLEEP. It promotes deep, restful sleep and regulates body rhythm. The drink is soft and aromatic, containing German chamomile and barley.
Matcha
Many have heard about the benefits of matcha. This drink is rich in antioxidants, which means it protects the body from free radicals, gives energy and vigor (due to milder caffeine), helps maintain metabolism and weight, is good for the immune system, helps to relax... there are a lot of advantages. But often what is sold under the guise of matcha is not matcha at all.Real Japanese matcha is organic green tea grown on special plantations in the highlands, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Some Japanese matcha teas, such as Miyazaki Organic, are certified Organic JAS.
One of the most famous and popular brands of green tea in Japan is ITOEN; you can start getting acquainted with high-quality Japanese matcha with it. ITOEN Matcha Green Tea With Roasted Rice uses high quality leaves and roasted brown rice to remove the bitterness of green tea.
And lovers of the delicate taste and consistency of latte will surely love the creamy AGF BLENDY STICK.
Amazake
This sweet, creamy drink has been adored in Japan for centuries. It is especially often drunk during the winter and New Year holidays. Amazake is made by fermenting rice. The drink is sometimes called "sweet sake", but the alcohol content is usually very low (less than 1%).Amazake is considered nutritionally beneficial as it contains proteins, vitamins and amino acids. Therefore, they drink it not only for mood, but also for beauty.
Ginger drink
Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and warming properties, which is especially valuable during the cold season. In Japan, people actively drink various ginger drinks. This can be ginger tea made from fresh or dried ginger, various ginger lemonades with honey and lemon, hot ginger tea "shogayu" or even ginger sake with a refreshing and spicy taste. For convenience, many ginger teas are produced in the form of fine powder in sticks.
