Naoki Sugimoto, a meat craftsman operating the homemade bacon and sausage specialty store "Monji" in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture, has developed the "Beautiful Body Muscle Sausage," the first in Japan (※self-researched) that brings out the original flavor of meat while being high in protein and low in fat.

Sales will begin on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at our store and official online shop. In the future, we plan to sequentially expand sales at the Sagamihara antenna shop "sagamix" and as a return gift for Sagamihara City's hometown tax donation program.

◆ Background of Development: "Can we make stoic meals easier and more delicious?"

The inspiration for product development came from observing acquaintances who were working hard on building muscle. Seeing them boil and eat plain chicken breast and broccoli every day, I thought, "It must be troublesome to prepare this every day, and more importantly, it's bland as a meal. If it were in the form of a sausage, people could get nutrition more easily and deliciously," which is how it all began.

Although I immediately researched the market, surprisingly, I couldn't find any authentic sausage products that combined "deliciousness" and "bodybuilding."

Therefore, I decided to pour my skills and know-how as a craftsman, who has won awards at international meat processing contests in Germany, into developing the ideal product myself, starting development in 2019.

◆ 3 Features of "Beautiful Body Muscle Sausage"

1. Surprisingly High Protein & Low Calorie! Concentrated Chicken Breast and Broccoli in One Pack

Developed based on "chicken breast" and "broccoli," the quintessential ingredients for bodybuilding.

Achieved extremely healthy nutritional values of "72kcal energy, 14.6g protein, 1.1g fat" per 100g.

Ideal not only for those aiming for hard muscle building but also as a meal replacement for those aiming for a beautiful body or daily weight loss.

2. "Deliciousness You'll Want to Eat Every Day" Created by Craftsman's Handwork and Authentic Manufacturing Process

Meals for dieting and body conditioning tend to become "eating out of obligation," making them difficult to sustain.

This product not only focuses on nutritional content but also meticulously adheres to a manufacturing process that maximizes the original flavor of the meat.

Instead of relying on machines, craftsmen carefully hand-stuff the casings, and the firm texture and authentic taste unique to handmade products bring joy to your daily dining table.

Since it's an easy way to consume high-quality protein, it's also recommended as a snack for growing children or for maintaining the health of the elderly.

3. Just Thaw and Grill or Boil. Significantly Reduces Daily Cooking Effort

After refrigerating and thawing (or thawing under running water if in a hurry), simply boil or lightly grill to complete.

It eliminates the need for daily ingredient measurement and cooking, allowing for easy, high-quality nutritional replenishment even on busy mornings or after workouts.

◆ Collaboration and OEM Development with the Fitness and Health Industry

At the specialty store "Monji," we are planning collaborative products with various individuals and companies, including sports gyms, personal trainers, beauty and diet-related companies, and nursing care facilities, to support the health of more people through this product.

We also accept OEM manufacturing for original products of facilities, so please feel free to contact us.
