Nuchigusui (ぬちぐすい) is a saying that belongs to the daily lives of people living in Okinawa and can be directly translated to mean, "life medicine". The significance is more expansive and can refer to the satisfaction felt after eating a good meal, experiencing something that makes one feel lighter, and feeling peace with oneself.

A note from the founder Katsuo Nakamoto
"It all started from my wish for everyone to live a healthy, happy life...
I was hospitalised during my late twenties due to a kidney disease caused by overwork and stress. One day while I was at the hospital a friend of mine told me about a tea made of “kumis kuching (orthosiphon aristatus or cat’s whiskers)”. Without having much knowledge on this particular tea, I decided to try drinking it. To my surprise, the kidney got better after a while, and that is when I felt and experienced the effect of "kumisukuchin" tea. Once I left the hospital, I wanted to spread the word about my experience with this tea. This is how I got into the business, which I continue on until today.
I hope we will be able to provide products that will help support your healthy, happy life."
