The concept of the healthy menu in the restaurant are as follows;1. Total calorie is less than 600 kilocalorie,2. The total salt 2.5 g. In the dinner event, our clinic staff broadcasts the healthy cooking methods by chef from the kitchen of the restaurant to the TV display at the main hall, by using handy video camera. The theme of the dinner event was how to reduce the sodium on cooking. The chef and the registered dietitian explained how to reduce the sodium when cooking the miso soup.
