  • The Japan News / Recipe
    Recipe Depth and variety of Japan’s cuisine The “Delicious” page, published every Tuesday, introduces simple recipes, restaurants across the country and extensive background information about Japanese washoku cuisine. By uncovering the history of Japanese food and sharing choice anecdotes, we make cooking at home and dining out even more fun. Our recipe columns In this column, we look back over changes in Japanese cuisine by featuring popular recipes carried in The Yomiuri Shimbun over the past century. Preparing a meal for oneself often comes with many complaints such as, “Cooking just for me is annoying,” and “I don’t know if I can eat everything by myself.” In this series, cooking researchers share tips for making delicious meals just for you. In this column, Tamako Sakamoto, a culinary expert who previously wrote the column “Taste of Home” for The Japan News, introduces tips for home-style dishes typically enjoyed by Japanese families. Taste of Japanese mom Chikuzen-ni Chikuzen refers to northwestern Fukuoka Prefecture. Although the dish is widely known as Chikuzen-ni, local people usually call the dish game-ni. There are several possible origins of the name. One idea is that it comes from “gamekomu,” a local dialect word for “bringing together” various leftover vegetables, even scraps, in a pan. Another theory is that turtle (kame) or soft-shelled turtle (suppon) were cooked together. There are also various views about the roots of the dish. One is that it was a battlefield dish of the Kuroda clan in the Chikuzen district, while another suggests the dish was created by warriors who were stationed in Hakata, Fukuoka Prefecture, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent a large army to the Korean Peninsula in the 16th century.

  • Festiwal Chlebów Świata, 21-23. Marca 2014 Roku
    FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA, 21-23. MARCA 2014 ROKU Stowarzyszenie Polskich Mediów, Warszawska Izba Turystyki wraz z Zespołem Szkół nr 11 im. Władysława Grabskiego w Warszawie realizuje projekt FESTIWAL CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA 21 - 23 marca 2014 r. Celem tej inicjatywy jest promocja chleba, pokazania jego powszechności, ale i równocześnie różnorodności. Zaplanowaliśmy, że będzie się ona składała się z dwóch segmentów: pierwszy to prezentacja wypieków pieczywa według receptur kultywowanych w różnych częściach świata, drugi to ekspozycja producentów pieczywa oraz związanych z piekarnictwem produktów. Do udziału w żywej prezentacji chlebów świata zaprosiliśmy: Casa Artusi (Dom Ojca Kuchni Włoskiej) z prezentacją piady, producenci pity, macy oraz opłatka wigilijnego, Muzeum Żywego Piernika w Toruniu, Muzeum Rolnictwa w Ciechanowcu z wypiekiem chleba na zakwasie, przedstawiciele ambasad ze wszystkich kontynentów z pokazem własnej tradycji wypieku chleba. Dodatkowym atutem będzie prezentacja chleba astronautów wraz osobistym świadectwem Polskiego Kosmonauty Mirosława Hermaszewskiego. Nie zabraknie też pokazu rodzajów ziarna oraz mąki. Realizacją projektu będzie bezprecedensowa ekspozycja chlebów świata, pozwalająca poznać nie tylko dzieje chleba, ale też wszelkie jego odmiany występujące w różnych regionach świata. Taka prezentacja to podkreślenie uniwersalnego charakteru chleba jako pożywienia, który w znanej czy nieznanej nam dotychczas innej formie można znaleźć w każdym zakątku kuli ziemskiej zamieszkałym przez ludzi. Odkąd istnieje pismo, wzmiankowano na temat chleba, toteż, dodatkowo, jego kultowa i kulturowo – symboliczna wartość jest nie do przecenienia. Inauguracja FESTIWALU CHLEBÓW ŚWIATA planowana jest w piątek, w dniu 21 marca 2014 roku, pierwszym dniu wiosny a potrwa ona do niedzieli tj. do 23.03. 2014 r.. Uczniowie wówczas szukają pomysłów na nieodbywanie typowych zajęć lekcyjnych. My proponujemy bardzo celowe „vagari”- zapraszając uczniów wszystkich typów i poziomów szkoły z opiekunami do spotkania się na Festiwalu.

  • Shibuya City Industry and Tourism Vision
    渋谷区 Shibuya City Preface Preface In October 2016, Shibuya City established the Shibuya City Basic Concept with the goal of becoming a mature international city on par with London, Paris, and New York. The goal is to use diversity as a driving force, with our vision of the future: 'Shibuya—turning difference into strength'. One element of the Basic Concept is setting a direction for the Shibuya City Long-Term Basic Plan of 'A city with businesses unafraid to take risks', which is a future vision of industry and tourism unique to Shibuya City. Each area in Shibuya City has its own unique charm with a collection of various businesses and shops, and a great number of visitors from inside Japan and overseas, making it a place overflowing with diversity. With the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games being held this year, 2020 is our chance for Shibuya City to become a mature international city. In this regard, I believe we must make even further progress in industry and tourism policies for the future of the city. To accomplish this, I believe a plan that further details the policies in the Long-Term Basic Plan is necessary, which is why the Industry and Tourism Vision has been established. Industry and tourism in Shibuya City faces a wide range of challenges that must be tackled, including environmental improvements and safety issues for accepting inbound tourism and industry. In order to further revitalize the shopping districts and small to medium sized businesses in the city, I also believe it is important to take on new challenges such as building a startup ecosystem and nighttime economy.

  • Food Uses and Nutritional Benefits of Sweet Potato
    ® Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Science and Biotechnology ©2012 Global Science Books Food Uses and Nutritional Benefits of Sweet Potato G. Padmaja* • Jaffer T. Sheriff • Moothandassery S. Sajeev Central Tuber Crops Research Institute, Thiruvananthapuram-695017, India Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) has high ability to convert solar energy in to carbohydrates and store it in the bulky roots that are recognised as one of the energy godowns of nature. Sweet potato is next to cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in acreage, widespread cultivation, diversified uses etc., among the tuber crops in the world. With rapidly changing lifestyle and urbanization, the significance of sweet potato as a food is getting diminished. Nevertheless, its importance as a health food is being increasingly realised now. A number of novel food products with functional value are being developed worldwide. Sweet potato tubers with their low glycaemic index have additional value as a food for diabetics. There are a range of primary food products that could be made from sweet potato like chips, flakes, frozen products, French fries, puree, etc., while it is also the raw materials for a host of secondary products like noodles, sugar syrups, alcohol, pasta etc. The potential of sweet potato as a promising food crop is discussed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: chips, canning, frying, noodles, pasta Abbreviations: DSF, defatted
