Fish!　


Japan is known for sushi, sashimi which only is possible with fresh fish.

Although that is true, the sashimi, the cut fish which is eatable raw lined up in the Japanese supermarkets are 2 days old!  2 days old meaning 2 days has passed since the fisherman got it from the sea.  Of course it has no problem been eaten raw because of how it was killed like 活け〆（Ikejime）and then presereved for shipping. 

Ikejime is a way to kill fish which started in Japan. Now it it not only the Japanese who uses this method.

Recently, APcompany of Tokyo enabled us to taste the fresh fish which was caught that day! Contracting directly with the fishermen and enabling the fish to be shipped in to Tokyo during the daytime.  The president of APcompany says the less then a day old fish tastes different from the one that is older. And thus, super fresh fish can make more Japanese realize or re-realize fish is really tasty.

Yes, one of the great reasons to be living in Japan is being able to eat sushi and sashimi when ever I want!

There is a porcelain enamel pot that makes you wait 9 months since it is so popular in Japan. And I may say it is unusual but it is made in Japan. Aichi Dobby, a Japanese company founded in 1936, is a company that makes products starting from casting till processing by machine and hand with 40 staff members.  This company like its'  name is located in Aichi, also known as a prefecture with famous companies such as Toyota.

      What makes this pot special from others, numerously seen on the business news is that the company which usually is only making their own machinery parts is now using their highest techniques to a new field of products, a porcelain enamel pot.  The highest technique cannot be stolen since it is the workmen who has the ear and sense to enable to make this precise pot by the micron which also does make a huge difference when cooking.  This company has been able to make the top coating of their pan glittery which also cannot be found in other pot companies.
