2. Why Spice is the Secret to a Great Meal
Adding a touch of heat does more than just wake up your taste buds—it elevates the entire dining experience.
The Science of Spice:
Boosts Flavor Perception: Capsaicin, the compound that gives chilies their heat, enhances the flavors of other ingredients.
Releases Feel-Good Endorphins: Spicy food triggers your brain to release endorphins, giving you that natural “happy” feeling.
Aids Digestion: Some studies suggest that spicy food can help improve metabolism and digestion.
At Himizu, our spicy rolls are designed to do just that—transform your meal into a sensory experience that leaves you craving more.
