Collaboration Alert!
The popular collaboration between
FANCL and
Saboten is back for its fourth installment! Starting
July 1, customers can enjoy a refreshing drink infused with
100% domestic kale, available exclusively at all
Shinjuku Saboten restaurants until
July 31. This limited-time offer follows the previous year's successful introduction of their kale-based drinks, which promote a healthier lifestyle with every sip.
Emphasizing Healthy Eating Habits
Since its establishment in 1966,
Shinjuku Saboten has been dedicated to enhancing the dining experience by introducing beneficial eating habits. One of their signature suggestions has been to serve freshly shredded cabbage to limit excess oil absorption from their signature tonkatsu dishes. Continuing this tradition, they have partnered with FANCL, a brand well-loved for its
kale juice, to roll out special drinks that incorporate one day's worth of green and yellow vegetables—equivalent to
120 grams of fresh kale.
This year, alongside popular options like beer, apple juice, and orange juice, patrons can look forward to the exciting new addition of
“Kale Lemon Squash.” This beverage, designed to complement tonkatsu, features unsweetened soda with a refreshing lemon twist, making it a fantastic choice for both meals and as a first drink.
Nutritional Powerhouse: Kale
According to nutritionist
Reimi Tanaka, who oversees menu development in the product marketing department, kale is renowned for its high nutrient content compared to other vegetables. Commonly referred to as the king of vegetables, kale bursts with essential vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The collaboration aims to make enjoying kale delightful while enhancing meal flavors. The drinks can be ideally enjoyed both during meals and as refreshing standalone beverages.
