Since last year, Tokyo Powdered Foods has been developing a nutritional food product mainly based on protein, which is scheduled to be released this spring or summer. You may be thinking Why?, but we have our own reasons and thoughts, which we have learned from our own failures.

Importance of Protein

“My nails break easily,” “I’m the type of person who has trouble building muscle…” When my skins split, it takes a long time to heal.” “I can do the moves, but I don’t feel like I’m getting stronger…”
I am sure you have heard these conversations or can think of your own experiences. In many cases, these are signs of protein deficiency.

I have spoken directly with people on social media, podcasts and others, but no matter how much I criticize this matter, the situation doesn’t change.

Our athlete had the intention to participate in the World Championships, but due to a quick change in venue and schedule, it was becoming complicated.

I decided to provide direct financial support, after reading a post from the Paraclimbing Association of Japan on its Facebook page.

The reuse of bottles, a project started since the founding of Tokyo Powder, has had a new start this year, with the cooperation of dealers nationwide.

The REUSE plan for individuals continues to increase the novelty of the program. The collection store list will be updated in late April and is currently only for Japan.

100% renewable energy should have been our first step in establishing Tokyo Powder.

There are a lot of hurdles involved to use renewable energy to cover only the electrical consumption in the company’s operation. Carbon and other pollutants are emitted at the time of capital investment and production of equipment, as well as restrictions on recycling at the time of disposal, methods of production – all options the most suitable for our business activities and keeping costs low.

A while ago, an article of the impact of chalk appeared on Climbing Magazine website. It is interesting in many ways, and it talks about the details of mining magnesite and extracting Magnesium Carbonate from it, and the manufacturers that sell it as commodities. Only last year, pollution control was implemented at the magnesite mining factory in China.

About 10 years ago, I thought I could climb well. I tried hard every day and on more difficult routes. One day, in front of a difficult route, I lamented that I couldn’t achieve it.

“Now, climb it well” Shogo said, and from that day on my long days of trial and error began.

Thinking back, I remember the words Shogo said clearly: “Don’t stretch your arms completely, a slight bend is better. Move your legs more, your freedom increases. You will get more power!”

The days of pursuing questions began. What is a good climb? What is good? What is strong? What is efficient, yet powerful? The first year of trial and error was rather poor, but strangely, I remember the feeling of change rather than the stress.

The turning point for me was the direction of foot output. That was the moment when it hit me and all the questions I had seemed resolved. My movement changed dramatically and results started to appear. But solving these problems raised new questions, a never-ending cycle in search of what is best.
