Nogizaka Shin - Tokyo - Retour au pays d'une autre gastronomie d'excellence

Tokyo est une ville qui vous transmet son effervescence tout comme le fait New York. Une envie de tout et tout le temps, de découvrir, d’essayer, de tester… Une fébrilité qui vous tient éveillé malgré un décalage horaire rude et malgré parfois cette sensation de quitter votre corps ….Il ne faut pas s’arrêter car vous risquez d’être atteint par le fameux syndrome du « lost in translation », c’est…

Today at 18.00 p.m. on japanese time and 10.00 a.m. on european time on "TV Asahi", a new episode of the programme "Aiba Manabu" will be broadcast.

This time Aiba and his colleagues with the guest Yoshihiko Inohara ("V6", "20th Century") will cook the perfect Japanese stew with yams. What will it be? The episode will last two hours. "Aiba Manabu" takes on the challenge of digging up wild yam with Inohara Yoshihiko! "As a senior, I'm happy" to see Aiba Masaki and friends

Aiba Manabu is a show where Aiba learns about various things about Japan. This time, Aiba will be joining Kotoge, Sawabe, Abareru-kun, and even his senior Inohara to dig up wild yam in Machida, Tokyo. This will bring you the footage of the project, which began in 2013 and is now in its 13th year. This time, we interviewed the group on location as they took on the challenge of recording the show's first ever two-hour special.

Inohara, who took part in digging wild yam for the first time, reflected, "It was fun. We had a purpose, and teamwork was important for the work. Everyone had done this 13 times... I learned a lot, learning all that knowledge."

Aiba responded, "I'm happy," and confessed, "This time we were able to bring in the excavator, so it was a lot easier." As he said, one of the highlights was seeing Aiba skillfully operate the excavator and dig the hole. What's more, it's been about nine years since Aiba last drove an excavator. Despite only receiving a lecture on the day, he showed his high level of skill by receiving words of praise from his masters.

Aiba was satisfied, saying, "It was fun!", and Kotoge and the others also praised, saying, "I was hooked." Sawabe also said, "If you change the channel when the excavator comes on, you'll never think that we're digging up wild yams (laughs). It's an incredible episode," and it's a powerful scene.

This is Inohara's first appearance on "Aiba Manabu" in about five years. Last time (2019), he visited "Sushi Restaurant Aibatei" with Terao Akira, which had just opened at the time. Inohara said, "The plan and members were different from then, but it was good that it was all guys, like a club activity (laughs)." ``It's a very long-running program, and I hope they'll call me back soon, not just in five years,'' he said enthusiastically.

As the end of the year approaches, Aiba looked back on this year's "Aiba Manabu" and said with a wry smile, "The most frustrating thing was the matsutake mushroom hunting, wasn't it? We were told that we had a chance this year, but we didn't pick a single one..." Everyone agreed, and Abareru-kun also expressed his gratitude, saying, "In the end, my stomach was full from all the matsutake mushrooms we were given! (laughs)."

Sawabe continued, "The chefs taught us a lot, didn't they?" Aiba responded, "That's true. The taste is completely different when we get a lecture from a chef and when we make it by ourselves!"

Sawabe also said, "We were able to produce two breakout talents (?) in Nonaga (Kimiou) and Komoda (Kinya)," to which Aiba remarked, "We really were helped by a lot of people..." Inohara gently said, "Everyone was relaxed because of this good atmosphere, and in the end, they became breakouts."

Aiba also says that he sometimes makes the dishes he learned on the show at home, and his favorite dish is "I make a soup stock using white dashi, noodle soup stock, and water, and add sliced ​​daikon radish to it. It's so tasty! I can easily eat a whole daikon radish." Inohara was intrigued by the recipe, and his eyes lit up as he said, "I'll give it a try!"

When asked about the highlights of this special, Aiba said, "This is our first two-hour special, but we're all having fun as usual, so I hope everyone will watch it with the feeling that they're digging up wild yams together."

Kotoge said, "I was watching Inocchi and Aiba-kun digging wild yams side by side from behind, and it was really heartwarming. The two seniors and juniors were doing it in a friendly atmosphere, nodding along, so I hope you'll enjoy it."

Aiba responded by apologizing, "Inocchi-kun is my senior, but he always makes eye contact with me. Today he handed me lots of tools, and I'm sorry I said 'thank you' so casually!" Inohara responded with a blushing smile, "No, I was happy. I felt a little excited (laughs)."

Sawabe appealed, "Everyone's kindness is one of the charms of this show, but this time I want you to pay attention to the collaboration of the two greatest kind people in the entertainment industry (Aiba and Inohara) (laughs). And because it's a two-hour special, I think we'll be able to bring you a longer look at the wild yam digging than usual. I think you'll get to see how hard the work is, but also how much fun we are having while doing it."

Meanwhile, Abareru-kun made a unique comment, saying, "The gift from Inohara (the cream bean paste bun) was amazing, so I want you to pay attention to that! It really seeped into your body... It had such a gentle taste that I thought Inohara might be stuck inside it."

Inohara then appealed to the viewers, saying, "I simply enjoyed it, and I think you'll be excited every step of the way. I was fooled by the wild yam many times today...I'd be happy if everyone could watch while imagining, 'I wonder if something really long will come out?'"

Inohara continued, "And above all, I'm grateful to have been able to be part of this teamwork. Especially since Kotoge-san and I are the same age..." As Inohara expressed his joy, Abareru-kun stared at Kotoge in surprise and exclaimed, "I can't believe it!", causing everyone to burst into laughter. "As a senior, it made me very happy to see Aiba-chan surrounded by good friends and having fun and being free," he said with a look of relief, concluding the interview.

Emi dreamed of becoming a phantom thief after meeting one as a little girl. Emi debuted as Kaitou Rosetta Spider at the age of 18. Born in Japan, Tokyo. Emi lives on her own, which makes it easier for her to travel across the world. Rosetta Spider respects the phantom thief code of never killing anyone or causing unnecessary harm to others to steal treasures. Rosetta Spider would offend steal treasures that are spider themed.

Family Background; Both of Emi's parents worked as archeologists, and sometimes they would bring Emi along to their excavations. Her parents died in a plane crash when Emi was 11 years-old.

Spider Powers Origin; When Emi was 10 years-old, and her parents brought Emi to an excavation site. Emi had secretly stuck off on her own, which led her to find an ancient enchanted ring that gave Emi her powers after she accidentally cut her finger on it. Although Emi doesn't need to be wearing the ring to use her powers, the ring does transform her into her phantom thief attire. Emi never told her parents about the ring or her new powers. She wears the ring on her right hand ring finger. But the ring is hidden under her gloves while in her phantom thief attire.

The only known members so far are Police Inspector Dogusaburo Oniyama, who is the head of the organization, and police officers Ginko Kurosaki and Momo Shirai.

Teaching you how to cook

𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘴

<<< 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙏𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙪🐉| 𝙏𝙤𝙧𝙖🐅| 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙖🐕 >>>

Gwen’s Notes: I can’t cook worth shit. I got these food ideas from Haikyuu characters🤣

🐉𝒯𝒶𝓉𝓈𝓊🍳

-now THIS is the man you want to teach you how to cook. probably, maybe, definitely. you want to make milkbread, and Tatsu agrees, but that’s the last decision you make in the kitchen

-put on your apron. now. the cute Polycure one that will quickly be destroyed by flour. you have to match!

-Tatsu is a tough teacher, ngl. he wants you to follow the instructions exactly the way they’re written, no deviation, and if you do, he’ll get after you. maybe even lightly smack your ass with a wooden spoon but you like it

- “If you think you can skip a few steps here and there, yer dead wrong! Don’t underestimate any of the steps!”

- you underestimate most of the steps, so you guys have to start over at least twice, but his instructions are clear and easy to understand, once you decide to start listening. there’s lots of yelling, but not malicious or accusing

-Tatsu the master bread maker demonstrates how to knead bread, then gets behind you and places his hands on yours for a more immersive example; only then do you start to gain confidence in your kneading skills

-most of Tatsu’s time is spent actually trying to make the bread and stopping you from burning yourself or cutting a finger off (you were mockingly pretending to cut your pinky off for making a cooking mistake and got a little too close to the skin)

-ridiculous, overdramatic compliments he subtly backtracks from

- “See? Yer getting the hang of it. With those kneading knuckles, you’ll be better than Paul Hollywood himself. Well, that might be a stretch...but yer definitely getting better. Wait--don’t take it out! It’s still rising!”

-you quote The Great British Bake-Off and Guy Fieri the entire time, which Tatsu finds cute, also takes the seriousness out of the cooking lesson

-when you stop touching the dough and finally listen to Tatsu’s instructions, you are left with a huge, delicious milkbread loaf, and there is no disastrous dropping on the floor like there was with Masa

-Tatsu breaks off a piece for you to test first, holding the piece to your mouth and smiling smally when you hum in amazement. you give him the credit, but Tatsu is quick to correct you

- “You kidding? Ya almost sacrificed a pinky for this bread. Show some respect.”

-it was nice, spending an afternoon in the warm kitchen watching Tatsu work in his apron, so cute and focused on making everything perfect...you realize how crazy you are for this shades wearing, peach fuzzy man

-(this lesson caused your husband a lot of stress, though, so don’t expect him to invite you back for at least two weeks. *Azula voice* “You, are banished.”)

🐅𝒯𝑜𝓇𝒶𝒿𝒾𝓇𝑜🍰

-another man who knows a thing or two about cooking...or does he? baking is his specialty, but there’s nothing a little “secret ingredients” and “family recipes” can’t fix

-Tora takes you to his truck for your cooking lesson: you’re going to be making Oinarisan (inari sushi) a recipe of his mother’s which he got from his sister. does he know anything about sushi? no, but he prepared well, reading over the recipe a dozen times

-being in such small quarters with Torajiro makes you both nervous and excited; you like the homey atmosphere he’s created here, just the two of you in your own little cooking show world

- “And now, ladies and gentlemen, the lovely [ YN ] will cook the rice; watch it materialize right in front of yer eyes. Brown grains, from the hills of Tokyo, freshly bought this morning.”

- “Didn’t we get it from Tatsu, Tora? And there aren’t any hills in Tokyo.”

- “...”

-how much ginger is too much?? apparently the amount you dumped in without measuring. oh well. Tora thinks it’s kinda cute how pathetic you are at cooking, so he doesn’t get mad that you have to start over (but he keeps the ginger away from you after that)

-he nudges you with his elbow or lightly touches your arm when he asks you to do something, keeping your attention on what you’re doing so no accidents happen. he would FREAK out if you even got so much as a mild burn

-Tora is very delicate when folding the tofu pockets, not at all speedy like he is when making crepes. you watch him with a smile, getting distracted from your own folding, and he blushes and tries not to smile back when he catches you watching him

-it’s impossible to not overfill the stupid tofu pockets with the rice, kombu and mushroom mix, and that’s when Tora starts getting pissed at the damn things, trying desperately to patch them together so you two don’t go hungry. he even tightens his headband, like that will help him focus more

-you find his desperate attempts hilariously endearing, and ensure him they’re fine the way they are, which he eventually submits to

-the sushi doesn’t look...horrible. it’s not the best looking street food you’ve ever seen, but to your surprise, Tora seems impressed by your combined efforts, grinning and holding one deformed Oinarisan up for you to see

-you insist he tries first, and when his eyes light up upon tasting the sushi, he quickly offers you a piece

- “It ain’t good lookin’ like you, but it sure tastes good!”

-Tora and you spend another hour eating the fruits of your labor before the dreaded time comes...to do dishes. Torajiro will insist he will do them, but doesn’t nudge you away when you slip up beside him to help

-overall, you had a good time on Tora’s “cooking show,” and hope to be invited back soon as a special guest (hopefully with more cooking skills by then)

🐕ℳ𝒶𝓈𝒶🥡

-oh baby boy...we all know you still cannot cook worth a damn, but that’s okay. we’re in this together. try not to burn the house down this time. either of you.

- “You want...a cooking lesson? Uhhhh....s-sure! No problem! I’m a pro, now! Big brother Tatsu taught me everything he knows!”

-everything Masa knows: how to open the microwave door, how to buy instant ramen, how to pour water into a glass

-you two decide for something very Western to eat, something very common that shouldn’t be too difficult to make...how about grilled cheese?! cheese on bread! easy! apparently not

-obviously you know Masa has no idea what the fuck he’s doing, but you let him believe you don’t know. ingredients bought, now Masa is staring at them in confusion, wondering what goes first

-it doesn’t help that he’s easily distracted by you, even though you aren’t doing anything in particular aside from looking cute in your apron...he keeps getting even more nervous by looking over at you, knowing you’re expecting him to produce something edible for you to eat and not be poisoned or die

- “Haha! Okay, here I go, babe! On second thought...wanna just order in?”

-you insist that with the two of you on it, making grilled cheese is possible. why do you have to put butter on the bread? neither of you are sure, but you manage to follow the instructions somewhat and get a single piece of bread on the skillet

-it burns

-you try again

-and again, and a few more times after that, wasting almost an entire loaf of bread

-down to the last two pieces of bread, Masa finally manages to get an overload of cheese on and places the other bread piece over top of it. the bread partially rips because the butter is too hard, but the flip doesn’t go as bad as both of you expected, and the bottom bread piece isn’t burned!

-after three agonizing minutes of trying to stay focused enough to ensure the bread doesn’t burn again, Masa realizes most of the cheese is spilling out of the sandwich onto the skillet and lowers his head in defeat

-you tell him it’s okay and plate the grilled cheese, watching more cheese spill out when you cut it in half. Masa sits beside you and looks down at the sad sandwich you have to share because he messed up so badly.

- “Some househusband I am! I’ve failed you, boss!”

-however...when you bite into the grilled cheese sandwich, all of Masa’s defeated attitude floats away. even though a lot of the cheese fell out, it’s still good enough to eat, and the two of you giggle while fighting for the glops of cheese on the plate

-in a better mood, Masa sends a selfie of you two with cheese on your lips holding up your pathetic grilled cheese to Tatsu and Miku. Miku thinks it’s cute, Tatsu is horrified, but Miku stops him from sending a long text about the proper way to make grilled cheese

-Masa and you may not be the most talented married couple on the block, but you have glops of cheese, and that’s really all that matters

May 30th Japanese Tea Ceremony

The day was not too packed with activities, but we did attend a beautiful, traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Following lecture, the class headed over to the Ginza district in Tokyo, where we trekked to a very scenic park in the middle of the city, where the tea ceremony was hosted. Our group was split into two and while the first section did the tea ceremony, the rest of us walked through the park. Filled with ponds, beautiful trees, and scenic views of the surrounding city, the park offered a sense of peace and tranquility that were necessary for the tea ceremony. After taking some pictures, we headed to the tea ceremony that was hosted by one of the best tea masters in the world. She had performed ceremonies like this all over the world and had written best-selling novels on the art of the Japanese tea ceremony, also known as “chanoyu”. It was interesting to see every calculated movement that her hands performed to make a bowl of matcha tea. The four most important qualities about this ancient tradition are harmony, peace, tranquility, and respect. Following this beautiful ceremony, the class split and some of us headed to a sushi restaurant with a conveyor belt, also known as “kaiten sushi” restaurant. After that, we headed to the island of Odaiba where we saw a Statue of Liberty, the giant Gundam figure, and walked around the area and its malls. 

            The article written by Reider came to life in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony that we attended today. Led by one of the modern day iemoto, or master of Japanese art schools, the tea ceremony we attended was led by the qualities of harmony, peace, respect, and tranquility. Chanoyu today is mostly led by women and is used in a social setting, unlike hundreds of years ago, in which the ceremony was held amongst upper class samurai. Nevertheless, chanoyu provides a gateway for relaxation that is stimulated by wagashi, or sweet treats, and matcha tea that is believed to have “cleansing” properties. 

            In the chanoyu today, the tea master mentioned that her school includes tea with lots of foam, whereas other schools include tea with little to no foam. This embodies the changing dynamic of chanoyu as an art form that is characterized in the Ohki reading. The tea ceremony we attended included tea bowls that were unique and different from the next, so each guest had a tea bowl with a design of important aspects of Japanese life. The bowls seemed to be a large part of the ceremony as we were asked to show respect to the bowl before and after sipping the tea. Overall, it was an interesting experience and by far the best way to enjoy matcha!

Master CHF/JPY with Chaikin Money Flow for Precision Trading Mastering CHF/JPY with Chaikin Money Flow: An Insider’s Guide Trading Forex is like assembling IKEA furniture—a mix of excitement and frustration, with a 50% chance you’ll end up with an extra bolt. But when it comes to the CHF/JPY currency pair and the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), you’re not just building furniture; you’re crafting a masterpiece in market analysis. Let’s dive into how this combination can transform your trading game. Why CHF/JPY Is a Must-Trade Pair The CHF/JPY pair is a heavyweight in Forex, combining Switzerland’s safe-haven currency and Japan’s risk-averse yen. This dynamic duo thrives on economic uncertainty and global market volatility. - Low Volatility, High Stability: CHF/JPY is less prone to wild swings, making it ideal for steady trading strategies. - Haven vs. Haven: Both currencies are safe havens, so this pair often moves in predictable patterns during global turmoil. - Interest Rate Games: With Japan’s ultra-low rates and Switzerland’s moderate policies, this pair offers unique carry trade opportunities. What is Chaikin Money Flow? Imagine CMF as the Sherlock Holmes of trading indicators. It scrutinizes price and volume to deduce market sentiment. Unlike traditional oscillators, CMF tells you whether the “smart money” is buying or selling. - Core Concept: CMF measures accumulation and distribution over a specific period. - Key Range: Values oscillate between +1 (strong buying) and -1 (strong selling). - Signal Zones: Above 0 indicates buying pressure; below 0 suggests selling dominance. Applying CMF to CHF/JPY Pairing CMF with CHF/JPY is like adding nitrous oxide to a race car—it amplifies precision and power. - Identify Trend Reversals: Use CMF to spot when institutional money is shifting direction in CHF/JPY. - Validate Breakouts: Confirm whether a breakout is backed by real buying/selling pressure. - Filter False Signals: Avoid fakeouts by cross-referencing CMF with other indicators like RSI or MACD. Advanced Insights: Ninja Tactics 1. Multi-Timeframe Analysis Use CMF across daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour charts to refine your entries and exits. 2. Pair with Fundamental Events Monitor Swiss National Bank (SNB) and Bank of Japan (BOJ) announcements to anticipate volatility. 3. Smart Hedging Hedge CHF/JPY positions with inversely correlated assets like equity indices or gold. Common Pitfalls to Avoid Overleveraging CHF/JPY’s stability can lure you into over-leveraged trades. Resist the temptation to go all in. Ignoring Volume Volume data is critical. Low CMF readings during major price moves can signal fakeouts. Neglecting Fundamentals Economic reports like Japan’s Tankan Survey or Swiss unemployment data can flip CHF/JPY trends overnight. Real-World Example: A Winning Trade - Scenario: CMF crosses above 0 while CHF/JPY consolidates near support. - Action: Enter a long position with a tight stop-loss below support. - Result: Price rallies as CMF confirms buying pressure, yielding a 3:1 risk/reward win. Trader’s Punchline: Adding Humor to the Mix Trading CHF/JPY without CMF is like driving in Tokyo without GPS—you’ll end up lost, broke, and possibly buying sushi to console yourself. Master the Game with These Pro Tips - Set Alerts: Automate CMF-based notifications to catch trading opportunities in real time. - Diversify Entries: Stagger positions to minimize risk and capitalize on gradual trends. - Refine Exits: Use trailing stops to lock in profits during extended CHF/JPY rallies. The Bottom Line By combining CHF/JPY trading with Chaikin Money Flow analysis, you’re not just guessing—you’re strategizing with precision. With the right tools, mindset, and tactics, you can turn every trade into a calculated win. Now, grab your charts and start decoding the secrets of CHF/JPY with CMF like a true Forex ninja! —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

A Scooby-Doo and Inuyasha crossover fanfiction for @augustwritingchallenge event AU-gust 2024 day 20 crossover/fusion.

The Mystery Gang are on a vacation in Tokyo and Daphne Blake said, "Is this great to visit Japan, guys?" and Shaggy Rogers answer Daphne's question from the back seat of the car, "Me and Scoob are more focus on the world famous sushi and ramen that Japan is known for." and the brown dog laugh. Velma Dinkley, a brown hair girl around her friends age wearing orange and glasses, said to Shaggy and Scooby Doo, "Very funny, you two. I'm more in the hobby of visiting the local Higurashi shine. I read online that their miko ancestor once become the master of a demon yokai." and Shaggy said, "I don't get what is important about a dog. What is a Yokai anyway?" and Fred Jones, a blond hair teenage boy wearing white, answer Shaggy's question as he drive their car, "I read that Yokai are supernature creatures like monsters or ghosts." and that quickly cause Shaggy and Scooby to hide in fear.

The gang arrived at the shine.

When Scooby-Doo touch the tree, its starting to glow and the Mystery Gan was taken by its light.

Once the bright light was gone, the Mystery Gang was surprised that they find themselves in some kind of forest. Daphne quickly check her phone and find no signal.

The head of the village tell the Mystery Gang, "Our village has been under the attack of a dog demon whose called himself Inuyasha. Our local lord has been trying his best to capture Inuyasha, but he said his troops meet their end."

The Mystery Gang explore the forest for clues of the battle.

As Scooby and Shaggy look around the area, the teenage boy in green said, "I guess they have the right idea of running away. We should do that too, Scoob." just as a growl from behind said, "Where do you think you are going?" and the pair turn to see a man in red with fangs, red eyes, long white hair and dog ears, and holding a giant sword in his hands and giving a smile on his face, "The sword of I, Inuyasha, hunger for the blood of men and dogs." The scared Shaggy quickly said, "Me and Scoob are more like chickens."

Fred said to the two group as they gathered around the captured fake Inuyasha, "Okay, let's see whose this fake Inuyasha is really is. I do hope that they have masks in their period as we usually take off the mask of the villian." and Kagome said as her hands grow, "I don't think we have good enough masks here in the Fedural Period, Fred, but I do have a feeling I know whose it is, since there is one whose can pull a trick of being Inuyasha before." and the fake Inuyasha face changed into that of a young man with long black hair and unnatural red eyese as Inuyasha and his friends call out, "Naraku!" which Velma said, "I guess that is the name of the local lord here." Naraku laugh, "Can you blame me for enjoying ruining Inuyasha's image again?" and Velma said, "I don't know how you did it, but I have a feeling that something was up when the head of this village said that you send troops after Inuyasha, but there were no sights of battle. You basically disguise yourself as Inuyasha to scare the poor village into ordering you."
