Constitution Check
Wanko Dashi The gift for your doggy
The Three Pillars Supporting the Body:
Qi, Blood, and Water
Inzen Hinata’s Wanko Dashi is made with natural ingredients based on the Yakuzen (herbal medicinal cuisine) concept of Qi, Blood, and Water, supporting these three essential elements.
It is believed that if any one of these elements becomes deficient or unbalanced, it can disrupt the harmony of the body and mind, leading to potential health issues.
