A premium functional vinegar that designs the rest of modern people
-The value of "rest" sought by the working generation-
Japan is a stressful society. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, about 60% of workers answered that they felt "strong stress".
Sleep debt, eye strain, mental health problems – modern people's health challenges are becoming more serious.
Meanwhile, the drink vinegar market is growing at a high annual growth rate of 6.1%. Among them, products that combine GABA× functionality × additive-free are attracting attention in the health management and welfare market.

5 premium features that are unique to this one

The cacao itself is fermented in jars by breweries in Kagoshima Prefecture for more than two years. It has a mellow chocolate-like aroma and a deep richness, making it a one-of-a-kind taste.
It contains GABA and polyphenols derived from cocoa.
2. GABA×anthocyanin double resting component
GABA: Stress relief, sleep quality improvement (improved falling asleep, deep sleep), relaxation effect
Anthocyanins (domestic concentrated blueberries): reduce eye strain, support vision
We approach the two major concerns of the working generation, "stress" and "eye fatigue", with scientifically based ingredients.
