Japan Unboxed

March 11 is the day the enormous earthquake hit east Japan 10 years ago. I’d like to express many thanks who offered support from all over the world to my home country, Japan. The total deaths of 15,899 and over 2,500 people are still missing. The Tohoku area is recovering day by day but will need more time for full recovery. Today’s topic is something related to death. When someone passes away, the style of funeral varies by country, religion, or family. Majority of Japanese follow the ritual of Buddhism when it comes to funerals. Most of the time, the bodies are cremated and the ashes are kept in the urn. Then families bury urns inside the graves. But COVID19 brought a new change to this. Let’s see if we can unbox Japan.

Are they yummy as much as real meat?

Funabashiya, a traditional confectionary store in Kameido, Tokyo, with a history dating back to 1805. Its signature dish, "kuzumochi," has been loved by historical story writers such as Akutagawa Ryunosuke or Nagai Kafu, and an influential samurai in Japanese history who led the Meiji Restoration,SaigoTakamori. This "long-established" Japanese confectionary store is now attracting attention from young people. The reason for this is their culture to place young people as the main players and innovation just like a venture company. They are also very creative in their marketing. Even though it is a well-established company, it is actively using SNS such as Twitter and Facebook to increase brand awareness among young people. Let’s see if their SNS strategy can reveal some trick to bring new breath in the traditional confectionery industry. https://news.goo.ne.jp/article/phpbiz/bizskills/phpbiz-20210222123153861.html

In Japan, Intermittent fasting is getting popular and it is common to believe being overweight is the source of many diseases. Autophagy, known as the research of Dr. Osumi Yoshinori, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2016, has been known to keep various diseases away and lead to longevity by reducing calorie intake. Dr. Aoki Atsushi of Jiji Medical University lived to prove that theory actually works for him. Let’s see if his interview can reveal the secret of autophagy and why it is beneficial to all of us. https://www.medical-confidential.com/2019/09/23/9742/ #intermittentfasting #authophagy #fasting #IF #Diet #sake #Sushi #Japan #Japanese #JapanUnboxed #nihongo #にほんご #learnJapanese #studyJapanese #kanji #madeinjapan #DiscoverJapan #Tokyo #Kyoto #日本語能力試験 #JLPT #日本語勉強 #obesity #Podcast #AdvancedJapanese

The sound of fireworks still reminds her of an air raid. 　In elementary school she attended in Saitama, she was shocked she had to sit next to a boy. In Iran, which is a Muslim country, boys and girls are separated until high school, and they take separate buses. Women have to cover their hair with a hijab. This is a story of an Iranian born actress Ms. Sahel Rosa. The unknown experiences in Japan gave her a sense of liberation as if she had found freedom.Let’s see if her life story can unbox Japan. https://www.zenrosai.coop/anshin/anshintalk/furusato/furusato18.html https://www.nikkan-gendai.com/articles/view/geino/278954 #Iran #Toyota #sake #Sushi #Japan #Japanese #JapanUnboxed #nihongo #にほんご #learnJapanese #studyJapanese #kanji #madeinjapan #DiscoverJapan #Tokyo #Kyoto #日本語能力試験 #JLPT #日本語勉強 #kanji #Podcast #AdvancedJapanese

If you are a Japanese and have a college degree, the total number of years to have studied English would be more than 12 years. Yet you still can’t speak English. That’s how the majority of Japanese people feel. We know a few English words. We know a fair amount of grammar. But why are there so many Japanese who can't hear, understand, or carry on a conversation in English? This is a mystery of all the time. An author, Davey Lau, a Hong Kong native who once studied at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, is well aware of this. Using his linguistic knowledge of the Japanese language, he has found the faster way for Japanese people to master English. He says the way Japanese people study English is wrong. Let’s see if he can unbox Japan. https://diamond.jp/articles/-/262408 By Davey Lau 2021.2.136 #Toyota #sake #Sushi #Japan #Japanese #JapanUnboxed #nihongo #にほんご #learnJapanese #studyJapanese #kanji #madeinjapan #DiscoverJapan #Tokyo #Kyoto #日本語能力試験 #JLPT #日本語勉強 #kanji #Singapore #HongKong #Podcast #AdvancedJapanese
