What do you usually do when you feel stressed and want to relax? There are many methods how to reduce stress; listening to musics, drinking coffee, playing sports and so on. Today, I'd like to introduce the special chocolate named "GABA" which make us relaxed.
Anyway, why is this product named "GABA"? What a strange name, isn't it? But there is a proper reason. "GABA" is the one of amino acid called "Gamma- Amino Butyric Acid", and it is found that "GABA" has a good effect for reducing our stress. Glico had an eye on it, and mixed into chocolate at high rate. So you can feel relaxed after eat this chocolate. Also, "GABA" has a good effect for preventing cholesterol and neutral fat from increasing, and making weaked liver by alcohol work normally.
Do you know Kinakomochi? If not, you can find it at convenience stores and super markets easily. Kinakomochi is a kind of chocolate produced by TIROL-CHOCO CO. LTD. I think that the chocolate is really Japanese flavor, because Kinako is made from soybeans. People usually use this soybean flour to cook Japanese-style confectionery. In addition, this chocolate has small Mochi which is called as rice cake in English inside. As you know, Mochi is necessary for New Year in Japan. Both Kinako and Mochi have important connection to Japanese food culture and many people in Japan know that Mochi goes well with Kinako.
