World-wide there are few countries in which pufferfish (fugu) is eaten as in Japan. In Vietnam, pufferfish has been banned since it’s toxic ocurred due to lack of knowledge about distinguish non-toxic species. Consequently, there is a huge amount of pufferfish inhabiting in Vietnamese water, but whenever accidentally catching it, we have to throw or use as fertilizer. To develop culinary culture of non-toxic pufferfish in Vietnam, it is very important and essential to recognize safe species and culture them in good condition, then apply proper method to process that become safety foods. In order to initial setting up for such purpose, we carried out a sensory study in Vietnamese to test whether they can accept foods made from fugu by method of Japanese. Methods. We compared the sensory reaction to Japanese cultured Takifugu rubripes and fish from Vietnamese waters: grouper and mackerel. The 107 panelists were Vietnamese volunteers working in the field of nutrition, employees of marine companies, or government officials who could influence the relevant laws.

  • Shinto, Primal Religion and International Identity
    Marburg Journal of Religion: Volume 1, No. 1 (April 1996) Shinto, primal religion and international identity Michael Pye, Marburg eMail: [email protected] National identity and religious diversity in Japan Questions of social and political identity in Japan have almost always been accompanied by perceptions and decisions about religion. This is true with respect both to internal political issues and to the relations between Japan and the wider world. Most commonly these questions have been linked to the changing roles and fortunes of Shinto, the leading indigenous religion of Japan. Central though Shinto is however, it is important to realize that the overall religious situation is more complex and has been so for many centuries. This paper examines some of these complexities. It argues that recent decades in particular have seen the clear emergence of a more general "primal religion" in Japan, leaving Shinto in the position of being one specific religion among others. On the basis of this analysis some of the options for the Shinto religion in an age of internationalization are considered. The complexity of the relations between religion and identity can be documented ever since the Japanese reception of Chinese culture, which led to the self-definition of Shinto as the indigenous religion of Japan. The relationship is evident in the use of two Chinese characters to form the very word Shinto (shen-dao), which was otherwise known, using Japanese vocabulary, as kannagara no michi (the way in accordance with the kami).1 There are of course some grounds for arguing, apparently straightforwardly, that Shinto is the religion of the Japanese people.

    Improvement of Shimbashi Station on the Ginza Subway Line (the first subway in the East) Atsushi NUMATA1, Yasushi ARAI2 1Design Section Chief of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] 2 Design Section Deputy Manager of the Renovation & Construction Department of Railway Headquarters, Tokyo Metro Co.,Ltd, 3-19-6, Higashi-ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo, Japan, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Tokyo Metro railway network opened in December 1927 as the first subway in the east, with a 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno on what is now the Ginza Line(Figure 1).By the time the Fukutoshin Line opened in June 2008, the network had expanded to include nine lines over a 195.1 km span of open tracks. Shimbashi Station is located at about the middle of the Ginza Line. It is a transfer station for JR, Toei subway lines, and the AGT system (the Yurikamome). Increases in the number of passengers in recent years have caused major obstructions to passenger flow. In addition, the structure of Shimbashi Station is integrated with the piers of the JR Bridge, and is adjacent to the piers of the Tokaido Shinkansen Bridge. Based on passenger flow simulations under the configurations of the existing station, this plan proposed sweeping changes to the layout of the station to alleviate congestion on the platforms and facilitate smooth transfers to other modes of transportation. INTRODUCTION The Tokyo Metro Ginza Line (“Ginza Line”) became the first subway in the eastern hemisphere when the 2.2-km stretch between Asakusa and Ueno stations opened on December 30, 1927.
