Kinoko Functionals Origin Story
Kinoko Functionals began with a deep curiosity about the connection between nourishment and well-being. While exploring plant medicines and herbal traditions, I learned that the gut plays a powerful role in supporting overall balance, including influencing much of the body’s serotonin — a key regulator of mood, resilience, and daily vitality. This realization sparked a new perspective on how what we consume can shape how we feel.
As someone who has always loved chocolate and sweets, this inspiration became a journey to create thoughtfully crafted confections that are both delicious and beneficial, transforming everyday enjoyment into an opportunity for nourishment.
The Kinoko logo reflects this philosophy. Designed as a serotonin molecule inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi — the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold — it symbolizes restoration, resilience, and the belief that intentional nourishment can help bring the body back into harmony.
At the same time, I was drawn to the traditional use of functional mushrooms, long valued for their supportive qualities and ability to help the body adapt and restore balance.
