Are you interested in natural food, organic lifestyle, or the macrobiotic diet? If so, this is a book for you. It has the most recent information on traditional Japanese dietary culture.

Japan is considered to be the country with the longest life expectancy, and it is featured in many books, including The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest and Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life. It is also famous for the macrobiotic diet, and Washoku, which has been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, partly for being a well-balanced diet. The Japanese diet is also known as a gut-friendly-diet, and current studies suggest that the gut is the key to our wellbeing.

Japanese people can be role models of wellness.

However, not all Japanese people are healthy.

The young generation has lost in touch with the traditional Japanese diet so they can’t be the role model. The old generation can be the one since they follow the traditional diet and many of the centenarians who appear in the longevity books belong to this category. And yet, can they really be our role model? They lived in a different era, and their methodology may not be applicable in the present period: They don’t necessarily lead a healthy lifestyle anymore since our way of food production has changed. Nonetheless, they haven’t adapted to the current agricultural situation.

In that case, who could we learn from?

The Ikigai Diet Sachiaki Takamiya is introducing in this book is the diet of the healthiest Japanese people he discovered. You will learn what to eat, what not to eat, and how to eat, based on the secret of the traditional Japanese natural living which is central to most Japanese martial arts; healing arts; Zen; and the macrobiotic diet.

Sachiaki Takamiya is the founder of the Ikigai Diet and Ikigai Bio-Hacking. He developed these two health methods based on centenarians in Japanese blue zones and Shizenha people, Japanese naturalists who live in the countryside leading organic lifestyles. He won the outstanding performance award of the Next Publishing Award in March 2022 with the book, The Ikigai Diet.

In his early 20s, he lived in England, where he studied Shiatsu and macrobiotics at the British School of Shiatsu, studied different kinds of psychotherapies at the Center for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education, and at the School of Hypnosis and Advanced Psychotherapy.

After returning to Japan, he gave workshops on holistic transformation based on his studies of both physical and psychological approaches.

He now lives in a small rural town called Hino town in Shiga Prefecture, one of Japan's longest-lived prefectures. He practices a Satoyama lifestyle there, growing vegetables and making fermented foods. Although he is 60 years old, he has had no problems at medical check-ups so far, and he was diagnosed that his vascular age was 21 years younger.

Verified Purchase

This ebook offers both Japanese wisdom and helpful actionable advice on eating habits, eating local, longevity and happiness.

Sachiaki's advice on taking traditional Japanese concepts and applying them to diet and lifestyle is gold. I hope this book is expanded upon and published.
