mana kitchen Probiotic ・ Organic ・ Heirloom Indonesian tradition x Japanese superfood ・the concept・ ​ ​ Mana Kitchen is a probiotic restaurant where the Indonesian tradition meets the ancient knowledge of the Japanese superfood. We use as much organic heirloom vegetables grown in our permaculture garden as possible, provide menu that is health- and eco-conscious, and serve awakening food that nourishes life. You are what you eat. Food is medicine in itself. Our aim is to provide food that maximizes human potential and sustains lives for generations. This is important because so much of the food that we consume nowadays is essentially life-less and nutrition-less. White rice grains won’t sprout if you plant them. The majority of rice consumed in Indonesia is green-revolution rice, which yields large volumes but dilutes the nutrition content. White wheat is similarly devoid of regenerative properties. Most vegetables sold at supermarkets are made from F1 seeds that are designed for one-generation consumption. Mana Kitchen provides food the way the earth blessed us with. We call it “awakening food” because when you consume food the most natural way, it awakens your soul, mind, body and all your senses. Of course, we do not allow GMO vegetables, MSG seasoning, microwaves, and other evils to enter our kitchen. We are not a vegetarian restaurant, but we don’t serve beef because it's the most unecological thing to produce. The beef meat requires 28 times more land to produce than pork or chicken and 11 times more water. It also accounts for 80 percent of the total greenhouse gas emitted by all livestock. ・key probiotic ingredients・ “amazake” – the ancient Japanese superdrink Literally meaning ‘sweet sake’, amazake is an ancient Japanese superdrink. This 1000+ year-old ​ probiotic, non-alcoholic fluid made from fermented whole grain rice was traditionally served at Shinto shrines. At Mana Kitchen, we use this as a sweetener, instead of sugar. Health benefits: ● Contributes to hair growth and ● Increases concentration beautiful skin ● Aids good sleep ● Helps reduce weight ● And more ● Relieves constipation ● Relieves fatigue “shio-koji” – probiotic salt Used in Japan for centuries as an all-star ingredient, shio-koji has seen resurgence in popularity ​ ​ in recent years with the increasing interest in fermented foods. The enzymes contained in shio-koji break down proteins to pull out flavors, and this process also contributes to tenderizing meat and fish. The enzymes also decompose starches to draw out the sweetness from ingredients. It has a rounder taste than ordinary salt. probiotic rice At Mana Kitchen, we serve probiotic rice, which is fermented for up to 5 days. Invented by a Japanese doctor about 60 years ago, the probiotic rice is brown rice with red beans, cooked in a particular way. The cooked rice is kept in a thermo for up to 10 days, allowing the rice to ferment, become probiotic, and darken its color over time. After 10 days of fermentation, the enzyme content increases by 100 times. Health benefits: ● Balances weight - weight loss if you are overweight, weight gain if you are unhealthily skinny. Most people lose weight just by replacing daily white rice intake with fermented rice. ● Promotes digestion and prevents constipation ● Prevents obesity and high blood pressure ● Prevents aging of the cells ● Good for detox, beautiful skin and anti-aging because of ample polyphenol in red beans ● Super nutritious overall - so much more vitamins, minerals, enzymes, proteins, carbohydrates - containing 6 times more fiber and 1200 times more vitamin E than white rice. vege broth Vege broth is soup made from skins, seeds, and other parts of vegetables that usually get thrown away. These parts are difficult to use in cooking but are very nutritious. At Mana Kitchen, it is used as a base for some of our soups and curry dish. Vege broth maximizes the benefits of vegetables to its full potential while minimizing food waste. Vege broth is filled with enzymes and phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants, generally to help them thwart competitors, predators, or pathogens. Because plants can’t move under heavy rains and strong UV rays, their skins have strong anti-oxidative effects and other traits that protect them from external forces like germs. Since heating helps push phytochemicals out of cells, the nutrition in vege broth is absorbed more efficiently than in vegetable smoothies. Health benefits of phytochemicals: ● Boosts immune system! ● Anti-aging! ● Anti-cancer! (It prevents cells from becoming cancerous and cancerous cells from increasing.)
