Hello, this is Exciting Meals. We carefully select, mix, and sell spices that are full of excitement and individuality. Humans live, eat, sleep, and die. We sleep and die alone. But when we eat, we can share. Eating takes up most of our lives and connects people together. Eating from the same pot of rice makes us closer. The dinner table is an important place that connects people who are spending their time differently. I've been cooking almost every day for the past 28 years, and have had dozens of hobbies and jobs, and I can say with certainty and confidence that cooking is the best communication tool and the thing that will make your life the longest and most fulfilling. For yourself and for those important to you. You have no appetite. No motivation. You're irritated. You're tired. You can't concentrate. You feel like something's not right. I'm feeling anxious. I can't sleep well.
I'm not doing well. I'm not good at cooking. I'm afraid of being isolated. I can't keep it up.
I feel like I have to work forever. I'm not stimulated. I can't get into anything.
I feel like I'm getting old. I'm anxious about something.
I don't want to eat strange things. I'm worried about salt.
I want to get motivated. I want to look sharp.
I want to improve my communication skills. I want to think faster.
I want to be healthy. I want to regain my energy.
I want to cut down on my expenses and start cooking.
If any of these apply to you, the keywords are:

⚫︎The expiration date is 6 months from mixing. (For details, see the food label)
The flavor of powdered spices gradually decreases, so it is best to use them up within 3 months to use them at their full potential.
That's why they come in 20g packs.
Each spice is mixed with consideration for its characteristics, not just its taste.
The efficacy of each spice cannot be written due to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act and the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions and Trademarks, but please look it up.

Exciting Curry Spice is
an "exciting" "curry spice"
A "curry" spice that barely maintains the curry that everyone imagines, but also has the freedom of a wayward cat.
Of the countless spices that occupy our kitchen, mustard is the one we use the most.
The unusual combination of mustard as the main spice is due to the refreshing spiciness of mustard, which never disappoints.
Cumin brings out the ethnic flavor, cardamom with its queenly aura, and the punch of black pepper stimulates the appetite. The spice coriander's freshness and chili's spiciness, the umami of nutmeg, the subtle sweetness and bitterness of fenugreek and allspice, the sweetness and umami of onion and brown sugar, and the taste of sea salt. Blending these spices further boosts their potential.
Welcome to the melting pot of spices and umami that turns on your appetite.

Special Green Spice is a "special" "green" spice.
Famous as the "Queen of Spices", the high-quality cardamom has a fragrant and elegant aroma and presence.
The spark of white pepper, the spicy ginger and mustard bring depth to the whole,
the sea salt brings out the contours of the umami,
the sweetness and richness of the brown sugar mellow the taste,
and the aroma of matcha leaves a sense of transparency like the air of a deep forest.
It is a cardamom-based spice that seems difficult to use, but like curry spices, it goes well with Japanese, Western, Central Asian, Middle Eastern, South American, and general meals, and it is a new special spice that adds elegance and excitement to desserts.
It goes well with all kinds of dishes and desserts.
Use it on all things that go well with curry spices:
Hot drinks, ice cream, pancakes,
cream puffs, fresh cream, custard cream,
baking sweets, cakes, bread, donuts, fruit,
sandwiches, toast, fried foods, tempura,
fried chicken, pasta, marinades, salads, curries,
stir-fried dishes, simmered dishes, meat and potatoes, soup, yakiniku,
seasonings, egg dishes, rice bowls, fried rice,
nuts, potatoes, beans, etc.
Like a cat aiming for its prey, it has failed and tried again and again
and finally been completed.
"Brain-gut correlation" - the relationship between the brain, gut, and serotonin
2% of serotonin is "produced in the brain," 90% is "produced in the gut," and "platelets."
Serotonin produced in the gut does not reach the brain directly.
Only 2% has a significant effect on human mental activity.
Brain serotonin controls information such as dopamine (joy, pleasure, etc.) and noradrenaline (fear, surprise, etc.) to stabilize the mind.
When there is a lack of brain serotonin, the balance is lost,
it is easy to develop irritability, aggression, anxiety, depression, and panic disorder.
When the balance is achieved through the function of brain serotonin,
it leads to a sense of happiness.
Essential amino acids and iron are needed in the process of synthesizing the hormones in the brain that make you feel happy.
The essential amino acid (tryptophan) can only be obtained from food.
Intestinal serotonin is deeply related to increasing brain serotonin.
The brain and gut influence each other through nerves and hormones.
This is roughly called the "brain-gut correlation."
The gut environment influences the brain, and mental factors influence the gut.
In addition,
both the brain and gut are important for sunbathing, sleep, exercise, and not eating the same thing every day.
The brain releases "dopamine" when it achieves something through effort.
It is our joy not to cut out the effort of cooking, but to put in an extra step so that both the cook and the person eating can enjoy it.
I have never gotten tired of cooking every day, nor have I found it painful.
That's because the people who eat it are happy.
And cooking is really fun.
The spices at exciting meals are made from 100% natural ingredients.
Of course, the taste of the ingredients is free of preservatives, sweeteners, flavors, and colorings.
Spice mixes are not all-purpose spices, magic spices, or miracle spices.
Just like various seasonings, there are compatibility and uses,
and we deliver them along with recipes.
The aroma and flavor of "spices" is fun for the cook,
it's stimulating, and it helps you manage your health, so I really recommend it.
However, it takes time to get used to handling spices,
but it will give you happiness.
Mixed spices are the best way to start cooking with spices, as they enhance the flavor and aroma more than using one type alone.
Spices are surprisingly easy to use, and other than chili, sansho pepper, and ginger,
they are widely used daily in Asian cuisine, Western cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and sweets,
and they go very well with Japanese cuisine.
Exciting meals' spice mix is based on the idea of eating delicious food to be healthy and energetic.
We want to deliver not only delicious food, but also healthy food.
You can mix and simmer,
sprinkle it on at the end,
or add it to change the flavor.
Delicious and energetic!
When you're feeling a bit down, just add some spices!
Bring vitality and excitement to your table with cooking!
About the symbol of the forest bear.
We chose the "forest bear" as the symbol of our precious spice.
In nature, the bear is a symbol of strength, stamina, wisdom, elder relatives,
good friends, and physical and mental strength.
Because bears are believed to have healing powers,
they are doctors of nature and pharmacists who know medicinal herbs.
Indians (Native Americans) and the
Ainu people learn from bears how to use medicinal herbs and tree roots for treatment.
The bear as a symbol represents wisdom, insight,
introspection, protection, and healing.
The bear hibernates, disappearing from view,
and awakens again in the spring.
It is thought that this is because bears are seen as symbols of death and rebirth.
To Native Americans, bears are the kings of the animal kingdom, and are considered the most important animals to humans.
Finally, here is an English proverb that originates from a saying by my favorite Greek philosopher, Socrates:
Thou shouldst eat to live; not live to eat
