What sparked my obsession with amazake
For several years after giving birth, I struggled with various health issues. When several of these problems overlapped, I often ended up bedridden.
With small children to care for, just getting through each day is all I can manage.
The hardest part of my illness was not being able to play freely with my young child. Every day, even going outside left me exhausted after just an hour or two. I was constantly apologizing to my child in my heart.
My poor health led to pessimistic thinking, worsening my relationship with my spouse. It also affected my children, and as a mother, that was the hardest part for me.
In winter, my poor circulation leaves me freezing cold, my lips turning bright blue. Even when meeting someone, I only have enough energy to stay for about an hour over tea. Every day is filled with anxiety and worry.
When I looked pretty pale even to an outsider, a longtime friend said this to me.
You should try drinking amazake. Just give it a shot and drink it every day.
Amazake!? I can’t drink alcohol because I’m sensitive to it.
Amazake isn’t alcohol, so it’s fine, it’s fine.
Since it’s a fermented beverage said to be good for your health, not just alcohol, I think I’ll give it a try.
On the day my friend recommended it, I bought some sweet rice wine to try and headed home.
I’ve started drinking a cup of warm Amazake every day.
After drinking amazake for a few days, I noticed my bloated stomach discomfort had disappeared. My energy gradually returned, and I recovered enough to go for walks outside.
And a few months later, I was surprised to find that various discomforts like tinnitus and dizziness had disappeared.
At the same time, I’ve truly realized how much feeling physically well can lift my spirits and brighten my mood.
When I was feeling unwell and stuck in negative thinking, my husband apparently considered divorce. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn’t encountered amazake.
I’m glad I suggested the amazake back then. At the time, your complexion was so poor I didn’t know what to do.
The reason I created the amazake information site
The reason I started creating a denim information site was because of Takafumi Horie’s influence.
Reading my favorite author Takafumi Horie’s book “Zero: Adding Small Ones to the Nothingness of Myself” made me want to do something.
Takafumi Horie’s message during his speech at Kinki University also served as a major catalyst for me to take action and create a website.
Do not fear the future, do not cling to the past, live in the present.
I thought it was so cool! Being a simple soul, I was easily influenced and started creating an amazake information site, which I was obsessed with at the time.
After that, I became obsessed with jeans and launched this site.
