ZEN Voice The process of traditional “ZEN” training involves sitting in the correct posture on the floor, being aware of the breath, and stabilizing the mind. But it seems difficult, especially for westerners, to just sit in the correct posture (even for modern Japanese too). Restore the body by stretching muscles and breathing through breathing techniques. By relaxing body tension and deepening your breathing, your voice will begin to resonate. Experience how your heart and body become more harmonious when your voice resonates comfortably. ZEN Kitchen Japanese food is known as delicious and healthy around the world. However, many people think it's too expensive to eat at a restaurant and too difficult to cook at home by yourself. TOKKO (the guide) teaches you how to cook Japanese food in a very simple way with local ingredients. You will enjoy cooking with TOKKO’s fun instructions, and you can take the recipe home. So you will be able to easily cook Japanese food at home too!
