About Saisai

Saisai, a Japanese Heritage House Café, is friendly not only for our health, but also our Earth.

“Vegan Menu” has been getting popular recently.

We serve you “Vegetable Sushi Course” as animal-based free foods with organic vegetables and fruits

It depends on people why they choose vegan foods. For their body conditions, which don’t accept meat and fish. For beauty reasons. For religious reasons. For environmental aspects.

Animal-based foods have a lot of impacts on our environment during their production processes.

For instance, producing 1 kg of real meat needs water for as much as 93 bathtubs and 11 kg of grains for feeding cows, which gives the Earth a lot of dameges.

Facing the fact, we want to add our choice to eat “soy meat” instead of “real meat”.

Recently, “soy meat” has been getting popular and attracting people.

It reduces the impact on the environment, and it is healthy. It is very friendly for both the Earth and ourselves.

We are getting to think seriously of our environment and to change our foods. Then alternative meat is spreading around the world.

Alternative meat is plant-based meat whose taste and texture are like real meat.

The alternative meat we use at the Vegetable Café “Saisai” is made from soy.

Real meat contains 12 grams of proteins and 82 grams of cholesterols. In contrast, alternative meat contains 17 grams of proteins and 0 milligrams of cholesterols.

We can say that alternative meat gives us less cholesterols and more proteins than real meat.

In general, it is said that plant-based proteins are healthier than animal-based proteins.

With less lipids, the risk to be overweighted can be decreasing.

No cholesterols, the risk to be lifestyle-related disease can be decreasing.

With a lot of fibers, the intestinal regulation effect can be expected.

It is also said that soy meat can reduce the impact on our environment.

Livestock farming, such as cattle, pigs and chickens, emits enormous amounts of greenhouse gases.

Methane from cow burps heats the Earth more than CO2. It has worse impacts than vehicle exhaust.

We cut a lot of forests and many wild animals lose their living place because livestock industry needs vast lands.

Changing livestock meat to alternative meat, we can reduce such a bad impact on the environment.

Regarding chemical additives, our daily foods are now filled with many kinds of additives in Japan.

Chemical additives accumulated in our body affect our health unless we notice it.

We try to stop eating unhealthy foods, and we need ourselves to be detoxed, detoxified and neutralized.

Saisai, a Japanese Heritage House Café , offer a course meal that will revitalize your body, including enzyme juice, fermented foods, organic vegetables, brown rice, and medicinal tea made with purified water.

If you come to us alone, you can enjoy conversation with other customers or us. We hope our customers make warmful relationship with each other in Saisai.

We regularly hold events such as talks, lectures, classes, natural farming farm cutlets, markets, and barter exchanges.

We would like to create a place where people who are interested in health, environment and food cultures get together.

We want to make Saisai such a place.
