[Benefits of Ginger]

It was a cold weekend. Ginger-based foods and drinks are widely known for their warming properties, but they also have many other excellent benefits.

Fresh ginger is particularly nutritious and rich in gingerol, an anti-inflammatory compound. It is also packed with other nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B, and phosphorus and iron.

In addition, it is said to promote digestion, work against indigestion, and prevent motion sickness. It is also rich in fiber, which is good for intestinal health and is expected to help reduce bad bacteria.

An easy way to incorporate ginger into your diet is to mix it with water or hot water. Grating and crushing ginger and mixing it with hot water, ginger tea can be drunk after waking up to help boost metabolism.

When grating ginger, please use the Oya Seisakusho's Copper Grater. The edge of the blade is very sharp because it is made by forming a blade from a pressed hard copper plate. The colors are bright, the flavors are vibrant, and the texture is exquisite.

It is almost time for the cold weather to ease up. Please stay warm and enjoy a healthy winter.

I have loved all the products I have received. The copper kettle arrived in perfect condition and I have enjoyed using it over the past few weeks. It is developing a wonderful patina, and makes tea time a joy. It looks beautiful on the straw pot stand too! The peeler is fantastic! It slices so thinly and without any resistance. You can get gauze-thin cuts of your vegetables, I also love how it is refillable. I will have to order the other peelers in the future. The Koishiwara ware small plates are fantastic for holding small side dishes. Thank you again! I love your store.
