Under the concept of 'The Better choice for the Best life.', THE_B has proposed sustainable choices that can be effortlessly incorporated into daily routines. Through the development of plant-based menus, the sale of upcycled products and eco-goods, the use of biodegradable bioplastic packaging, and local cleanup activities, we communicate a lifestyle where 'choices for oneself' also connect to 'choices for the Earth' via food, space, and experiences.

And June 8 is World Oceans Day.

The ocean, which covers about 70% of the Earth's surface, is a vital presence that supports our lives, food, and ecosystems.

On this day when we think about the ocean, we wondered, 'Could THE_B also deliver a connection to the ocean through eating?' While developing menus with this thought in mind, we encountered the seaweeds of Sea Vegetable, a company working on seaweed research, cultivation, and culinary culture creation under the vision of 'fostering a food culture that connects to the future while protecting the ocean.' We wanted to propose rare seaweeds that rarely appear on everyday dining tables as something that can be enjoyed more freely and regularly. Resonating with this vision, we developed limited menus combining seaweeds with different aromas and textures, such as Mozuku, Wakame Hijiki, Tosakanori, and Suji Aonori, with fermented ingredients under the theme of intestinal health (gut health). We propose a new wellness experience beyond 'deliciousness' that naturally connects 'conditioning the body' with 'caring for the Earth.'

Mozuku Rare domestic mozuku that is not widely distributed in the market. It is characterized by being thick and chewy like noodles.

Wakame Hijiki Only the domestic young sprouts are used. It features a crisp, light texture.

Tosakanori Characterized by its vibrant red color and crunchy texture. It is a rare seaweed also used in seaweed salads.

Suji Aonori A rare variety with a particularly fragrant aroma among green lavers. A refreshing scent of the sea spreads softly.

Mineral Intestinal Health Set with Sea Vegetable 4 STEPs to condition the body.

Not only 'what to eat', but also 'how to eat'. At THE_B, we propose a 4 STEP lunch menu that combines seaweed and fermented ingredients with a focus on gut health, paying attention to the order of eating.

At the beginning of the meal, dietary fiber and vinegar are taken, delivering happy nutrients to the gut through seaweed and plant-based ingredients. Furthermore, a warm soup supports circulation from the inside, and finally, a dessert with antioxidant properties finishes the gut conditioning.

We deliver a new food experience of 'conditioning from the inside of the body' while enjoying seaweeds with different aromas and textures.

STEP 1 | First, condition the gut: Mozuku Shot ↓ STEP 2 | Deliver fermented ingredients to the gut: Mineral Intestinal Health Salad Bowl + Yuzu Amazake Dressing ↓ STEP 3 | Warm and circulate the gut: Mineral MISO Green Soup ↓ STEP 4 | Deliver antioxidant ingredients to the conditioned gut: Mini Acai Bowl with Sea Vegetable

STEP 1 | Mozuku Shot A dish to 'condition' at the beginning of the meal.

A simple mozuku vinegar typical of THE_B, using Sea Vegetable's rare domestic mozuku. Gently seasoned with apple cider vinegar, gluten-free soy sauce, and beet sugar, it is finished as a dish where you can enjoy the original texture and flavor of seaweed. By taking water-soluble dietary fiber and vinegar contained in mozuku at the beginning of the meal, we propose it as a 'start menu' to condition the body from the inside while moderating sugar absorption.

STEP 2 | Mineral Intestinal Health Salad Bowl + Yuzu Amazake Dressing THE_B's new salad bowl to 'enjoy seaweed like vegetables'.

A limited-time salad bowl that combines THE_B's popular toppings such as 'sauteed mushrooms', 'soy cheese', and 'natto', which are perfect for gut health, with Sea Vegetable's Wakame Hijiki, Tosakanori, and Suji Aonori. In addition to enjoying the different aromas and textures of each seaweed, an original dressing combining amazake, miso, and yuzu spreads refreshingly. It is a wellness salad unique to THE_B where fermented foods, plant-based ingredients, and minerals and dietary fibers derived from seaweed can be naturally incorporated.

STEP 3 | Mineral MISO Green Soup A Japanese-style upcycled soup that 'warms from the inside'.

A Japanese-style upcycled soup combining miso and seaweed with leftover vegetables from the cooking process, such as ginger, broccoli, and kale cores. Topped with Sea Vegetable's Tosakanori and THE_B's homemade dukkah, it is finished as a cup where you can also enjoy the texture and savory flavor. Based on plant ingredients with added fermented foods and seaweed, it is a gentle soup that warms the body from the inside.

STEP 4 | Mini Acai Bowl with Sea Vegetable A 'new sensation of deliciousness' of acai and seaweed.

Sea Vegetable's Tosakanori dressed with maple syrup is topped on THE_B's most popular Acai Bowl for a unique twist. The fruity taste of acai accented by the slight saltiness of the seaweed and its agar-like texture offers a new dessert experience. Finally, antioxidant polyphenols and dietary fibers are taken to condition and conclude the inside of the body in this gut-health mini acai bowl.

Sea Vegetable LLC Specialists from various fields, from researchers to chefs, gather to conduct integrated operations nationwide, from basic seaweed research, seedling production, and onshore/surface cultivation to culinary development. While richly nurturing the marine ecosystem where seaweed is drastically decreasing, they are also working to create a new seaweed food culture with chefs inside and outside the company.
