「日本のスーパーフード」とは？
形県の庄内地方は四方を海と山に囲まれ、
いにしえの文化が今もなお残る土地です。
この地域のシンボルである出羽三山は
現代においても山伏たちの修験の場となっており、
「よみがえりの聖地」と呼ばれています。
また、日本でも有数の広大な平野を抱え、
農業が盛んな地域でもあります。
中でも、お米の質は高い評価を受けており、
江戸時代にはこの地域の米を京都や大阪に運ぶため、
北前船が開発されたほど。
さらに、種無し柿の発祥地でもあり、
この柿の木が各地に広まり、今や全国で作られています。
この町に根づく「米」と「柿」の文化を受け継ぎ
そして現代に合う形へと再生させるべく、
ナチュラル・エナジーバー「SHONAI SPECIAL」は誕生しました。
伝説の庄内柿
「柿が赤くなると医者が青くなる」と言われるように、柿には食物繊維やビタミンCなどが豊富に含まれ、健康をもたらすフルーツとされてきました。また、砂糖がなかった時代には、干し柿は貴重な甘みの素でした。干し柿は私たちのエナジーバーにも上品な甘みをもたらしています。

Persimmon has quietly amassed a significant body of literature on its health benefits.
Sadly, the persimmon industry in Shonai is in decline. Many of Shonai’s traditional persimmon farmers and dryers are entering old age. And while growing and drying persimmon is hard work, demand has been in steady decline as new non-local fruits entered the market.
By building our supply chain around Shonai's persimmon and creating new demand for this traditional superfood, we hope to rejuvenate and support Shonai’s persimmon industry.
Suppliers
We buy the persimmon for the Shonai Special from a handful of farmers and driers, many who have grown persimmon in Shonai their entire life. XXsan, for example, manages nearly 400 persimmon trees near Haguro. He has refined the growing and drying to a fine art, creating some of the most nutritious, healthy persimmon available in Japan.
発芽玄米、発芽人生
玄米はビタミンやミネラル、食物繊維といった、すぐれた栄養素がたっぷり含まれるスーパーフード。SHONAI SPECIALでは発芽玄米を使用することでGABAを増加させ、また、栄養を吸収しやすくしています。
More about sprouted brown rice
The benefits of sprouted brown rice have been confirmed in many studies.
All our rice comes from organic and natural cultivation rice farmers in Shonai. This ensures that no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are used during the production. Instead, the cultivation of the rice that we use is nourishing for the soil and protects local ecosystems.
Before processing our sprouted rice into a powder, we dry it at a low temperature to maintain enzymatic activity and optimal health benefits.
