What Blue Zones Teach, In Simple Terms.

• Make plants the quiet center of the plate.
• Choose local, seasonal, minimally processed foods.
• Stop a little before full — ~80% is a helpful guide.
• Build movement into the day: walk, carry, climb.
• Eat together. Relationships shape long-term behaviors.

These are not strict rules. They are elegant defaults you can return to, wherever you are.

From Ogimi, Okinawa: Flavor First, Then Restraint.

In Ogimi, often called a “longevity village”, cooks finish vegetables, tofu, and seaweeds with a hint of Shikuwasa. Bright acidity lifts flavor so you can be satisfied with less salt — a small choice, repeated over years.

The peel of Shikuwasa naturally contains polymethoxyflavones such as Nobiletin. We focus on this ingredient and present it in a capsule designed to fit modern life — taste-neutral, travel-friendly, and easy to keep as a ritual.

A “Bridge” For Real Life.

• Keep a plant-forward plate as your default, add citrus-derived polyphenols as an option.
• On travel or busy workdays, maintain your rhythm with a minimal, consistent ritual.
• Pairs well with eating “to 80%” and enjoying flavor without leaning on salt.

Sustainability, Quietly Done.

Elevating the value of the peel helps reduce food waste and supports a fragile grower base. Many Shikuwasa farmers are now advanced in age; steady demand and fair partnerships help keep skills in circulation and the next season within reach.

Start Today, Gracefully.

1. Center your plate on plants; add color and fiber first.
2. Finish dishes with citrus or herbs to enjoy flavor with less salt.
3. Choose a “stop” cue for ~80% full — a napkin fold, a sip of tea.
4. Walk daily. Sunlight and air are underrated seasonings.
5. Make Nobiletin your small, steady ritual for 2–3 months and review.
