② Gettou herbtea
Gettou is a herb native to Okinawa, belonging to the ginger family, Zingiberaceae. It has been cherished since the Ryukyu Kingdom era. In Okinawa, Gettou is referred to as "Sannin" and its leaves, seeds, and flowers have been used as medicinal herbs since ancient times. Gettou contains higher levels of polyphenols compared to red wine, giving it strong antioxidant properties that help neutralize harmful substances like free radicals, contributing to overall health. Additionally, it provides moisturizing and astringent effects, making it beneficial for maintaining healthy and youthful skin. Gettou is also rich in calcium, vitamins, magnesium, iron, and other minerals.

★★★★★The Ohagi class with Yoko was wonderful! I enjoyed the process of making Ohagi and decorating them with bean-paste flowers. Yoko was so nice and very accommodating to a last-minute change in schedule. I felt very welcomed in her home as we chatted over tea and ate the sweet treat we had created. Thank you, Yoko!
