Sharima de la Teftef, the driving force behind the green smoothie boom [Press Recommendation]

Jul 31, 2013

Anima, a unique sportswear brand that combines fashion and sports, has gained support primarily from women seeking authenticity. The welcome drink served at press events and other events was a green smoothie from the Green Smoothie Stand, located on the first floor of the Anima Jingumae store.

A green smoothie is an energy drink made by blending raw leafy vegetables, fruit, and water. Rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, it's an easy and delicious way to incorporate greens into your diet, and it's rapidly gaining popularity among fashionistas striving for health and beauty.

The driving force behind the green smoothie boom in Japan is the sister duo Sharima de la Tefteffe, comprised of Nakazato Sonoko and Yamaguchi Choko. Green Smoothie Stand is the first official shop they have produced. Located along Meiji Dori in Harajuku, the stand's format makes it easy for nearby workers and shoppers to stop by. The menu has a lineup of four types, including standard and seasonal specials, which change daily. It's nice to be able to choose depending on how you're feeling that day, such as the "Tropical Blend" (S 360 yen / T 480 yen), a blend of komatsuna, pineapple, banana and lemon, which is perfect for when your stomach is weak due to overeating, or the "Detox Beauty" (S 400 yen / T 520 yen), a blend of parsley, mixed berries, avocado and orange, which is effective for beauty, dieting and fatigue recovery.
