[Sagan Tosu] Jun Nishikawa's October Meal Record Summary
Things I was conscious of when preparing meals in October. A certain trick to support the player's performance.
Well, I've finally reached the records for October.
There are many episodes I'd like to write about, but first, the meal records.

One of the things I work on daily when making meals for the player is using bone broth, a stock made by simmering meat on the bone for 4 hours, in my cooking.
What is good about cooking rice with bone broth?
・Amino acids derived from collagen support the repair of muscles, tendons, and joints
・Easy to digest and absorb even when fatigued
・Provides mineral replenishment, supplementing nutrients easily lost through sweat
・Gently regulates internal inflammation after hard training
The amount eaten basically differs for each player, but since the amount a single player eats at one time doesn't change that much, I make it my own challenge to see how much I can build up the nutritional value per meal.

This was the day I went out for lunch with four of the restaurant staff.
We had a fun time visiting a bakery and a roadside station on the way home.
It's rare for us all to be able to eat together slowly, so it was a precious and good day.
After getting home, I hurried to make the athlete's meal.
I started cooking at 4 PM, so it was quite a rush.



Currently, I am serving a medicinal hot pot lunch for one based on this hot pot.

I made a lot of things in October too.
Tomorrow's practice, the next game, today's meal becomes the strength.
I want to deliver the importance of food like that every dayis what I thought while cooking every day.
Now that I'm summarizing, I feel relieved and settled that the season is over, but I also feel like it's not my life without making athlete meals.
I have many things to look forward to, like wondering what I'll make next season or meeting new players.
I want to enjoy my short off-season while also managing my own physical condition.
