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.

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.
