Okinawa Tropical Aojiru Drink

16 island vegetables · vitamin D at 100% NRV · one stick in a glass of water · whole-family friendly

GREEN JUICE, THE JAPANESE INSTITUTION

Aojiru — literally "green juice" — has been the simple, unfussy way Japanese households top up their greens for decades. Okinawa Tropical Aojiru is Yotsuba's premium take, built on the plants of Okinawa, one of the world's celebrated Blue Zones.

WHAT'S IN THE BLEND

Young barley grass grown in mineral-rich, coral-derived soil is the foundation. Around it: sixteen traditional island vegetables (goya, handama, sweet potato leaf, green papaya, mugwort, nigana), five Okinawan fruits including shikuwasa and acerola, moringa leaf, Yaeyama chlorella, the "longevity herb" Peucedanum japonicum, fermented sugarcane fibre, αG hesperidin and lactic acid bacteria (EC-12).

THE VITAMIN D DIFFERENCE

Coral calcium plus vitamin D at 5 µg per stick — 100% of the daily reference value. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones, teeth and muscles — and is needed for the normal growth and development of bone in children, which makes this genuinely a whole-family formula.

MILD ENOUGH FOR CHILDREN

Deliberately approachable: lightly sweet and tropical rather than bitter and grassy. One stick in about 100 ml of water — or into milk, a smoothie or yoghurt. An everyday habit in the Japanese tradition: not a detox, just more plants, daily.
