Embracing Healthy Eating Habits

Since its establishment in 1966, Shinjuku Saboten has encouraged healthy eating habits, notably by serving fresh, crisp cabbage to reduce oil absorption. This year, aiming to enhance health-conscious choices, the collaboration brings forth a specialty drink that contains the daily recommended amount of green and yellow vegetables (120g of fresh kale). The highlight of the menu is the “Kale Lemon Squash,” a thirst-quenching option featuring unsweetened soda infused with refreshing lemon, perfectly complementing the richness of the pork cutlets offered at Saboten.

A Nutritional Powerhouse

According to Reimi Tanaka, a nutritionist in charge of product marketing at Greenhouse Foods, “Kale, often referred to as the king of vegetables, stands out due to its high nutrient profile compared to other vegetables. Our aim is to provide a drink that enhances the enjoyment of Saboten's famous cutlets while incorporating the incredible nutritional benefits of kale. This beverage is ideal not only during meals but also as a refreshing first drink.”
