Soba is often garnished with tasty tidbits, such as tempura shrimp, or with a bit of boiled spinach to add a touch of color. Soba has been a favorite of Japanese people for centuries and the popular buckwheat noodle has even secured a role in various Japanese traditions, including the New Year’s celebration. Japanese people commonly eat soba on New Year’s Eve, when the old year intersects with the new year, and this is known as toshikoshi or “year-crossing” soba. There are various theories regarding the origins of toshikoshi soba. One theory is tied to soba’s association with the accumulation of wealth—a notion rooted in the practices of goldsmiths, who used balls of soba dough to collect gold dust from their workshops. Because soba is easily cut, some people argue that the noodle symbolizes the severing of links with the hardships of the previous year. Soba is also said to signify © IMAGE LAND. CO.

Reason for Creating the Capital and Business Alliance Since its development of Japan’s first oxygen generator in 1934, TNSC has been focusing primarily on air separation plants that produce industrial gases (oxygen, nitrogen, and argon), while working to advance a variety of technologies and develop its business as an industrial gas manufacturer.

TNSC was formed in 2004 through the merger of Nippon Sanso Corporation and Taiyo Toyo Sanso Co., Ltd. (“Taiyo Toyo Sanso”). At that time, Taiyo Toyo Sanso was in an alliance relationship with Mitsubishi Chemical and engaged in the industrial gas manufacturing business through a joint venture of Taiyo Toyo Sanso and Mitsubishi Chemical, and Mitsubishi Chemical possessed 34.85% (the percentage of the number of shares held, to the total number of issued shares) of the Taiyo Toyo Sanso stock.

    Official name: Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. Owned by: Nissan Motor Co (34%), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (12.63%), Mitsubishi Corporation (10.06%), The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi (3.91%), plus institutional and private investors. Current situation: Although Mitsubishi is the sixth-largest automaker in Japan, globally it’s only the 16th-largest. Mitsubishi Motors is currently in nosedive after years of consistently losing money. Facing multi-billon dollar losses and legal action over falsified fuel economy figures, Mitsubishi was recently rescued by Nissan. Most of Mitsubishi’s Western investors have bailed out and won’t come back. Mitsubishi now has less than a 1% share of the American car market. Mitsubishi’s Chinese sales and Japanese sales are nosediving. Chances of survival: poor. Mitsubishi is likely to be absorbed into the Nissan-Renault group • 1 All content © The Dog & Lemon Guide 2017. All rights reserved A brief history of Mitsubishi OUNDED IN 1870, Mitsubishi began producing cars in 1917, Fbut full-scale production did not commence until the early 1960s. With typical Japanese thoroughness, Mitsubishi Motors produced well-built, well-designed cars. They were mostly too small for the American market, because Mitsubishi built its cars for Japanese roads, which were small and congested. Mitsubishi Motors had its big break in the 1970s fuel crisis: sud- denly the world fell in love with small, fuel-economic, reliable Japa- nese cars. For decades it seemed that Mitsubishi Motors could do no wrong. Mitsubishis were reli- able and well built. They weren’t very safe, but people didn’t care so much in those days.
