Are you a big fan of olive oil?

In Japan, we have choices between rice oil and olive oil as sources of omega 9. However, olive oil reigns supreme in the West. Its popularity is soaring in Japan, too, as more people are recognizing its health benefits.

Dr. Zenji Makita, whom I cited in Chapter 6 of The Ikigai Diet, is an ardent proponent of olive oil for its potential to moderate blood sugar levels.

What’s more, Olive Oil Natto is creating a buzz among natto connoisseurs.

I couldn’t help but dive into this phenomenon, so I created a video exploring this superfood fusion. Do check it out!
