Kazuyasu Minobe sees himself as a 'craftsman of fencing,' believing that focusing on the minutiae is what leads to success, even in the final points of a match. His attention to detail extends to his food choices, where he opts for natural ingredients devoid of additives. He emphasizes the importance of nourishment integral to sharpening his precise striking instincts in fencing.
The Protein Choice of Champions
