健康と美容はキラーコンテンツといわれ、テレビや雑誌では多くの特集が組まれている。そんななか、健康は流行ではなく、断片的に理解しても効果は限られると考える人がいる。大切なのは健康のすべてを知り、人間本来の治癒力を引きだすこと。

Health and beauty are killer topics in TV and magazines.
However, some believe health isn’t a trend, and fragmented knowledge is ineffective.
What truly matters is understanding health as a whole and tapping into the body’s natural healing power.
Total health leads to true happiness.
Recently, the term “well-being” is commonly used. The term “well-being” has become common lately. It refers to physical, mental, and social well-being, often translated as “happiness.” Initially, I thought it was just a trendy buzzword, but I was surprised to see it on the Digital Agency’s website, where they aim to quantify and visualize it toward the realization of the Digital Garden City State concept. This feels a bit lofty and distant. Simply put, well-being means being healthy in both mind and body.
In Japan, the saying “a troubled mind brings illness, and illness troubles the mind” shows we’ve been exploring well-being for a long time. Various health trends come

shows we’ve been exploring well-being for a long time. Various health trends come and go. When a food is shown on TV as beneficial, it sells out, and when an exercise is praised, everyone rushes to try it. While it’s great to be health-conscious, many of these trends are short-lived.
Health isn’t a trend—this is Yuko Hisashi’s perspective. Bestowed titles like Leg Trainer, Body Maintenance Therapist, and Beauty Life Advisor, she focuses on promoting a healthy mind and body.
In the past, households had medical encyclopedias offering guidance on injuries and illnesses, much like a first-aid kit. Flipping through them casually helped build health knowledge. Inspired by this, Yuko Hisashi aims to spread a similar resource. She is preparing a seminar focused on “Self-Medication” and “Self-Care,” highlighting the interaction of health and beauty to enhance the body’s natural healing power.
Health fosters beauty, gives life meaning, and brings happiness. It is the foundation of everything. Understanding total health leads to true well-being.

「未病」対策。それはまず、自分を知ることから始まる。

カラダは全部、つながっている。
そんなあたりまえのことを忘れている。
断片的に見ていても、未病は見つからない。

Mibyō measures start with self-knowledge.

Everything in the body is interconnected, though we often forget this obvious fact. A fragmented perspective won’t detect mibyō, the state between health and illness, where one is gradually moving toward sickness.

Heading toward illness is unsettling. Even without symptoms, tests may reveal abnormalities, showing you were in a state of mibyō all along. As someone who often indulges in unhealthy habits but excuses it because I feel fine, this really resonates with me.
In simple terms, mibyō is the stage before illness. Even if you’re unaware, your body is giving off signs, so it’s crucial not to overlook them,” says Yuko Hisashi, a Body Maintenance Therapist.
For example, if a small rash appears on your palm, rather than ignoring it until it goes away, you should consider the possibility of mibyō. You need accurate knowledge about your body to understand what that rash is signaling.

But how do you detect signs that don’t show physically? “There are various ways, such as checking for body misalignment in a full-length mirror. A simple example is diet. Today, processed foods are easily accessible, but we should first question if they’re harmful.” Regularly reviewing your diet and watching for additives can help spot potential mibyō.
Reevaluating your diet can be difficult, especially with busy lifestyles. If you frequently eat out, it’s essential to know how to detoxify your body after consuming harmful substances. The key is having a comprehensive understanding of health, not just fragmented knowledge.” This is why Yuko Hisashi is preparing a seminar that covers a wide range of health knowledge.
“I once met someone with digestive issues, but they insisted they were fine because they were taking care of their gut. It turned out to be periodontal disease.” Can oral health affect digestion? “Yes, the mouth and gut are connected, sharing similar bacteria. Periodontal bacteria can travel to the gut, so it’s important to consider oral health when digestive problems arise.” The body is truly interconnected. Understanding your whole body is essential for detecting mibyō, and deep self-awareness is key to preventing it.

リンパ液の流れを良くして、健康から美が生まれる。

流れを良くして、体内からすっきり。

Improving lymphatic flow for health and beauty.

Lymph fluid, which carries waste, functions like a sewer system. Improving its flow helps cleanse your body from the inside.

“Lymph drainage is a key part of body maintenance,” says Yuko Hisashi. It helps remove waste, enhance organ function, boost immunity, and promote beauty. “To explain further, our bodies are about 60% water, and the fluid outside our cells includes blood and lymph. Both circulate throughout the body.”
“Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the cells, while lymph fluid collects and removes waste and fatigue-causing substances, functioning like a sewer system.” I see, improving lymph flow enhances the body’s overall condition.
“Lymph fluid flows at about 24 cm per minute, which is much slower compared to blood, which circulates through the entire body in a minute.”
“What are the benefits of improved lymphatic flow? Our bodies have around 600 lymph nodes, including the parotid, supraclavicular, and axillary nodes, which filter lymph fluid and remove harmful substances.”
Yuko Hisashi has also written a book on lymphatic dieting. “Lymphatic massage improves lymph flow and strengthens the immune system. Lymph care is vital for both beauty and health. Combined with fasting, it’s an even more effective diet method, cleansing the body, resting the digestive system, and resetting the organs. Detoxification is sped up through hormone release and lymph care. While often linked to beauty, lymph care primarily boosts immunity and overall health, with beauty as a positive side effect.” Better lymph flow enhances health, and beauty follows—health truly comes first.

Today’s wisdom for good health: If you eat something unhealthy, detox.

Even knowing additives are harmful, they’re hard to avoid. If you can’t maintain a perfect diet, opt for fermented foods.”

For good health, start with exercise and a mindful diet. Exercise can be fun if you pick a sport you enjoy, but managing your diet can be tough—it feels like you need to learn about calories and nutrition. What do you think, Yuko?
“We are what we eat, which is why I’m particular about diet. The basics are simple, plain meals.”
But meat is delicious, ramen is irresistible, I love spicy food, and beer is great. Even if I get flagged for high cholesterol and need a retest, it’s hard to change my diet.”As I mentioned earlier, you should question easily accessible foods. Some instant foods may taste good, but always check for additives. Also, be cautious of foods with strong flavors.”

But if you still eat something unhealthy, detox. “Exactly. If you consume something harmful, it’s important to flush it out. That’s why I recommend fermented foods.” Speaking of which, I’ve noticed fermented food stores popping up everywhere. Everyone seems to love them, right?
“They must suit the Japanese body well, which is why they’ve been eaten consistently since ancient times. Now, their taste and benefits are widely recognized abroad and have become popular. Fermented foods are incredibly versatile—they preserve food, enhance flavor, and promote health. From soy sauce, miso, and vinegar to yogurt, cheese, and kimchi, they all taste great. Plus, they help remove harmful cholesterol bacteria, improve gut health, boost metabolism, provide antioxidants, and reduce stress. They’re truly beneficial.” To improve your health, fermented foods are a great place to start—and they’re delicious.

麹にこだわり、麹を進化させていく「MURO」。

Feature | 2024.09.20

栄養が摂れるだけでなく、また飲みたいと思えるおいしさを追求して、麹はKOJIになり、世界の注目を集める。

MURO, taking koji a step beyond.

Koji has become KOJI, a popular drink that is nutritious as well as delicious.

MURO is a shop dedicated to koji, named after the koji-muro room where koji is produced. Following the concept of “Contributing to people’s health and rich food culture through KOJI,” MURO manages everything from koji research and development to commercialization and sales. But why focus on koji? I asked Tomonori Omura, CEO of Corazón Corporation, which operates MURO. “Although koji was well-known for its health benefits, it had never been branded. I thought that was a missed opportunity, so we began branding it, along with research and product development.”
MURO primarily offers rice koji amazake, often called a “drinkable IV drip” due to its rich nutrients and reputed health and beauty benefits. “Amazake tends to evoke specific memories for people. Some might find it smelly or dislike its unique flavor. That’s why we focused heavily on improving the taste. If it doesn’t taste good, people won’t drink it.”

The MURO store offers a variety of amazake flavors like yuzu, kabosu, apple, and blueberry—flavors I never knew existed, and all are delicious. Recommended options include Bioene, a brown rice amazake made with organic brown rice and koji, and KOJI DRINK A, known for its refreshing taste. In addition to amazake, rice koji seasonings are also popular. “There are many types, such as salt koji, soy sauce koji, and garlic koji. For example, tomato koji can be used in Italian dishes. Just a small amount enhances the five basic tastes—sweetness, saltiness, sourness, bitterness, and umami—making dishes incredibly flavorful. Even inexpensive meat becomes tender and tastes premium.”
And most importantly, koji is good for the body. “The Japanese have long understood the benefits of fermented foods like koji. Miso shops along highways existed to nourish travelers. Now, the world is beginning to recognize the value of koji. From Noma in Copenhagen, once named the world’s best restaurant, to many other restaurants in Europe and the Americas, fermented foods like koji are gaining popularity.”
Koji has a bright future. “Its taste and health benefits continue to reveal new surprises. It could even help address modern issues like allergies, lifestyle diseases, and extending healthy life expectancy. That’s why we will keep pushing forward with koji research, development, and commercialization.”
MURO’s mission to evolve koji for health and taste goes on.
