The burger was arranged Sasebo-style so that Japanese people would like it. The dish is made after an order is placed. Therefore, you can enjoy each restaurant's own unique burger.

The soy sauce based sauce with a lemon flavor is poured on a hot grilled thin-sliced beef and its aroma arouses the appetite. The steak has a refreshing taste and is twice as delicious if you mix the rice with the remaining sauce.

After converting the lord’s retainers and burning the Buddhist temple, Vilela built a Christian church under the invocation of “Todos os Santos” (All Saints). This temple was erected near Bernardo Nagasaki Jinzaemon Sumikage’s residence, whose castle was set upon a promontory on the foot of which laid Nagasaki (literal translation of “long cape”)1. If by this time the Great Ship from Macao was frequenting the nearby harbours of Shiki and Fukuda, it seems plausible that since the late 1560’s Nagasaki was already thought as a commercial centre by the Portuguese due to local political instability. Nagasaki’s foundation dates from 1571, the exact year in which the Great Ship under the Captain-Major Tristão Vaz da Veiga sailed there for the first time.

  • The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences
    The Korean War and Japanese Ports: Support for the UN Forces and Its Influences ISHIMARU Yasuzo Introduction When the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950, Japan had been under the occupation of the Allied Forces. Nevertheless, Japan achieved its role as a rear base for the supply and transit of soldiers and materials. What linked the Korean Peninsula—the battlefield—and Japan—the rear base—were the sea and air transport routes, and what supported the sea transport routes were the Japanese ports. These ports in fact constituted important hubs connecting the battlefield and the rear base. During the same period, new laws pertaining to ports were established. These were the Port and Harbor Law (Law No. 218 of 1950) and the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law (Law No. 220 of 1950). The Port and Harbor Law established on the principle that the ports should be managed by local administration.1 Meanwhile, the aim of the Old Naval Base City Conversion Law was to establish a peaceful Japan by converting the former naval bases2 into industrial port cities. Therefore, right when Japanese ports were changing to new ports, the nation was thrown into the Korean War, which set back their efforts. The Korean War had a decisive influence on the path of post-war Japan,3 which prompted studies on its political and economic influences, its history, and on the rearmament of Japan. However, although some literature exists on Japan’s support to the Korean War,4 no studies have ever tried to focus on ports. This article discusses the role Japanese ports played during the Korean War and how they were affected by the war.

  • FIFTY YEARS AFTER HIROSHIMA and NAGASAKI Y. Nishiwaki
    XA05C0005 INVITED PRESENTATIONS PROCEEDINGS FIFTY YEARS AFTER HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI Y. Nishiwaki Prof. Emeritus, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokio, Japan Hon.Prof. der Universität Wien, Institut fir Medizinische Physik, Universität Wien, Wien, Austria Fifty years ago, in 1945, the first three atomic bombs in human history were produced by the United States; one of these bombs was exploded experimentally at the testing ground in the desert 80 km from Alamogordo, New Mexico, on 16 July. The remaining two were used against Japan; the one called "Little Boy", using Uranium 235 was dropped on Hiroshima on 6 August, the other "Fat Man", using Plutonium 239 on Nagasaki on 9 August, 1945. In the early morning, at 1:30 a.m. of 6 August 1945, a United States Army weather observation plane took off from the Tinian air base in one of the Mariana Islands in the Pacific towards Japan. As the plane approached Hiroshima, at an altitude of about 10,000 metres, it sent a message to the B-29 "Enola Gay" loaded with an atomic bomb, which was following it, "fair weather, ready for air raid." The "Enola Gay" took off from Tinian Island at 2:45 a.m. together with two observation planes on both sides, and invaded Hiroshima from the northeast and dropped the atomic bomb at 8:15:17 a.m., (Tinian time 9:15:17 a.m.), at an altitude of 9,600 metres. Records on the time of explosion range from 8:15 to 8:18 a.m., depending on the source of information. However, according to the Hiroshima City, the official time of explosion was announced to have been 8:15 a.m.

    A REVIEW OF 40 YEARS STUDIES OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI ATOMIC BOMB SURVIVORS Itsuzo Shigematsu, M.D. Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan The \a\e health effects of ionizing radiation have been studied by the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) and its successor, the Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) based on a fixed population of atomic bomb survivors in Hiroshima and Nagasaki which had been established in 1950. The results thus far obtained up to the present can be classified into the following three categories: (1) The effects for which a strong association with atomic bomb radiation has been found include malignant neoplasms, cataracts, chromosomal aberrations, small head size and mental retardation among the in utero exposed. (2) A weak association has been found in the several sites of cancers, some non-cancer mortalities and immunological abnormalities. (3) No association has been observed in some types of leukemia, osteosarcoma, accelerated aging, sterility and hereditary effects. The effects of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945 consist of a combination of blast, heat, and radiation. The energy released was mostly in the form of blast and heat, accounting for 50% and 35%, respectively. Radiation accounted for only 15% of the total energy, something like a "by-product". For the Hiroshima bomb, the blast waves extended to a distance of 4 km and heat to 3S km. On the other hand, gamma rays reached out only to about 2 km and neutrons to a much shorter distance. The energy distribution of the blast, heat, and radiation of the Nagasaki bomb was similar to that of the Hiroshima bomb.
