1 minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station! Healthy smoothie shop

The store “metime” is conveniently located just a 1-minute walk from Azabu-Juban Station.

This time, when my friend and I walked from Nishi-Azabu to Azabu-Jubanarea, we were tired of walking and wanted to take a short break, so I found this shop.
There are no seats inside of the store. There are few terrace seats, but it is a small store that is mostly specialized in takeout(to-go) services.

The weather was fine that day and the terrace seats were vacant, so we decided to sit there and have some smoothie.

I ordered “Green Basic” and my friend ordered “Green Tropical.” The reason I ordered Green Basic was that it seemed to have the lowest calories, but at the same time, I was a little scared if I could drink all of it.
It looked like green juice, and the only thing inside was komatsuna (a vegetable with a strong green odor and bitterness) kiwi, apples, coconut water, and other vegetables that didn’t seem to have a strong punch.

However, when I actually tasted it, my thoughts so far were melancholy.
It didn’t smell green at all, and it was very easy to drink. Far from being easy to drink, it was rather delicious. My throat was dry and I was tired, so I finished drinking in no time.

I also tasted the green tropical that my friend ordered, which was also delicious and easy to drink. In addition to komatsuna, the base is apple juice, which contains pineapple and mango, and has a stronger acidity than Green Basic, and you can drink it like fresh fruit juice.

The front is green basic and the back is green-tropical, but the appearance does not change.

A busy modern society but have a healthy and happy life

Before writing this article, I interviewed the owner, Mrs. Sakanashi.
“Metime’s products are not only kind to the body, but we also consider that they are delicious. No matter how healthy they are, it makes no sense if you are not happy after drinking.”

The green basic and green tropical products I drank last time are products that can be expected to have a detoxifying effect, and soy milk-based spirulina crowns and acai tiaras can be replaced as a single serving-per-day.
Certainly, ingredients such as soy milk protein, mango, pineapple, banana, etc. can be used to ingest sugar and dietary fiber.
I was impressed by how the products are developed.

The volume is also perfect, and the stomach seems to swell firmly. Also, the point is that it contains superfoods such as spirulina and chia seeds! We believe that a well-balanced diet can not only prevent lifestyle-related diseases, but also mental illnesses.

Eat deliciously and be healthy. It is ideal to have a meal that is not overwhelming or wasteful and that makes you feel at ease and satisfy, both mentally and physically.

New menu: kombucha!

“Actually, we are about to launch a new product,” says Mrs. Sakanashi.
“Recently, I’ve been paying attention to fungal activity, and one of them is kombucha.”
Said Mrs. Sakanashi, and gave me a cute bottle.

Kombucha is a fermented black tea drink. It is a fermented beverage that contains enzymes, lactic acid bacteria, amino acids, polyphenols, etc., has visceral detoxification and antioxidant effects, and is said to have various effects that are good for beauty and health.

This kombucha is all organic! No preservatives, artificial colors or artificial sweeteners. In addition, because it uses living bacteria, it has the effect of adjusting the intestinal environment by proliferating and activating good bacteria, which are useful bacteria.

This time, I was allowed to taste rose pineapple for a sample. It was my first experience with kombucha, so I was a little nervous, but it was easy to drink. It seems that the fermentation is still shallow because it still has a little sweetness.

“I put fructose so that it can be used as food for living bacteria. It ferments by eating the fructose attached to it, so it produces slightly carbonic acid. When the bacteria eat the sugar completely, the sweetness becomes less. I prefer to ferment it a little more because it can suppress the sweetness considerably. If you like, take the rose berries home and drink it after fermenting it. I think it’s better to ferment it until this weekend. If you store it in the refrigerator, the bacteria will be less active. So, store it at room temperature at about 25℃ for fermentation. Then, cool it in the refrigerator before drinking.”

I will get the rose berry in the foreground and go home!

As Mrs. Sakanashi taught me, I fermented it at room temperature, put it in the refrigerator on the day, and cooled it.

Refreshing slight foaming. Rose berries were also easy to drink. I imagined for a little bit more sour taste, but wasn’t it fermented yet? However, the good thing about kombucha is that you can adjust the fermenting point to change taste to your liking.
However, they do not use any preservatives, so drink as soon as possible after opening.

Take it home, wait for fermentation, and enjoy!

All in all…

The store name “metime,” is named from the owner’s desire to spend precious “own time” while drinking.
The owner’s goal is to make smoothies with a gentle taste that will make busy modern people feel relieved while drinking
