A new cookbook from food writer and cookbook author Emiko Davies explores the recipes, flavors and cooking techniques from everyday Japanese cuisine. She joins us to discuss Gohan: Everyday Japanese Cooking: Memories and Stories from my Family's Kitchen.     SUKIYAKI Welcome Home Sukiyaki Serves 4 This dish has a special place in my heart. It was everyone's favourite signature dish of my obaachan, and one of the rare occasions she would cook meat. It felt like such a special treat and still is for me when my mother makes it. I've lived continents away from home since going to university; after being away for a year, sukiyaki was the dish (along with Temaki – page 97 – if it was summertime) that my mother would make to welcome me home. Invented in the Meiji era, after the Emperor dropped the 1,200-year-old ban on meat, sukiyaki was a dish that encouraged the Japanese to embrace eating beef. We make sukiyaki in the Kanto (Tokyo) style, where the sauce goes in first and everything is simmered in it, then taken out as each ingredient is cooked. In Kansai style (around Osaka), the meat is grilled first in the pot, usually with some beef tallow to grease it, and can be savoured as is, followed by the sauce and vegetables. Starting with a sweet sauce of mirin, sake and soy sauce, simmering right at the table, you place the well-marbled, paper-thin slices of beef into the sauce, along with vegetables, tofu and shirataki noodles. Every ingredient takes on the most wonderful flavours and everyone has their favourites. (Mine?... The tofu, which is like a sponge that soaks up that sauce, and the spring onion, which becomes impossibly sweet – I love it so much I make an easy version of it to eat anytime, see page 138.) Guests are served bowls of rice and bowls with a single raw egg cracked into them. You beat the egg with your chopsticks and it serves as a dipping sauce for the boiling-hot foods coming straight out of the pot. As the hot, saucy meat or vegetables hits the raw egg, it becomes a deliciously, creamy sauce – think carbonara – and it is one of my favourite parts of this dish.   INGREDIENTS 300 g (10½ oz) marbled beef  (such as sirloin), very thinly sliced 1 block of medium-firm tofu, cut into 1.5 cm (½ in) slices 2–4 spring onions (scallions) or 1 leek, cut on the diagonal into 5 cm (2 in) pieces 1 pack of enoki mushrooms 4 king oyster mushrooms,  sliced lengthways 1 small head of napa cabbage,  chopped into 2.5 cm (1 in) segments 1 large bunch of shungiku chrysanthemum greens, or similar,  cut into 5 cm (2 in) sections 200 g (7 oz) shirataki noodles 4 bowls of freshly cooked Japanese short-grain rice (page 80) 4 very fresh eggs, for dipping (optional)   SUKIYAKI SAUCE 125 ml (½ cup) mirin 125 ml (½ cup) sake 125 ml (½ cup) soy sauce 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste 125 ml (½ cup) water   METHOD To make the sukiyaki sauce, place the mirin and sake in a saucepan and  bring to the boil, which will evaporate the alcohol. After 2 minutes, turn down to a gentle simmer and add the soy sauce, sugar and water and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.  Set aside. (You can make this in advance and keep in a jar in the fridge for up to a week.) To prepare the table for sukiyaki, set up the burner in the centre of the table with the pot of sauce on top (sukiyaki is normally cooked in a cast-iron pot). Arrange the beef on a platter and arrange the tofu, vegetables and shirataki noodles attractively on a separate platter. Serve each guest a bowl of rice,  a bowl with a freshly cracked egg, if using, and some chopsticks.  Turn on the burner and bring the sauce to a simmer over a low–medium heat. Add the meat and some of the vegetables (enough to fit – you'll do a few rounds). Pick out the ingredients as they are ready – most things take mere  minutes to cook: the tofu and greens are very quick; the cabbage, leek or spring onions can go longer, for example.  To avoid contamination of chopsticks in the sukiyaki, rather than allow every guest to use their own chopsticks, use a pair of saibashi, cooking chopsticks, which are longer than regular chopsticks, that stays by the pot and anyone who wants to take something out can use those alone. Otherwise, appoint a ‘cook' who is in charge of distributing the foods as they are ready to come out.   VARIATION  Simply leave out the beef and add a little extra of the other ingredients  (my favourites are the tofu and the leek, but mushrooms are excellent  in this dish, as they soak up the sauce so well); vegans only need to leave out the dipping egg, too.   ON THE INGREDIENTS My mother eyeballs this recipe, so it is always  a bit different each time, so when I asked her for her recipe she turned to one of her oldest and best friends, Chieko, who is also a brilliant cook, to share her recipe, which is just perfect. Sukiyaki sauce has a distinctly sweet flavour, and my mother likes  to keep the sugar to a minimum – you could use  a little less if you prefer, too.  Traditional ingredients in sukiyaki include shirataki noodles, which are gluten-free noodles made of yam starch; different types of Japanese mushrooms, such as enoki, fresh shiitake or oyster mushrooms; and chrysanthemum greens (shungiku, 春菊), which are confusingly not the leaves of chrysanthemum flowers but actually another plant that resembles them – they are deliciously bitter, and you could substitute another bitter green for them, or simply try spinach, bok choy (pak choy), broccoli rabe or even watercress. If you manage to find shungiku to include here, note that like spinach they cook very quickly and will only need about 30 seconds in the pot. The quality of the beef is important here and, for an occasion dish like this, it is worth splurging for – there isn't too much meat as it isn't the main star of the dish. Not only should it be good quality but it should also be well marbled so that it remains very tender. Recently, in Nagano, we enjoyed sukiyaki with a delicious wagyu particular to the region where the cows are fed only apples. My mother buys impossibly thin, pre-sliced frozen beef from her local Korean grocer and it is perfect for this, as the slices should be paper thin – about 2 mm or at most 3 mm (¹⁄8 inch) thick. If you can't get the pre-sliced beef, choose  a nice piece of marbled steak from your butcher, put it in the freezer to firm up for about 1–2 hours and then you should be able to slice it thinly.

Este trabajo ha unido a dos figuras de renombre; Thomas Lauderdale, pianista y líder de Pink Martini, y la poderosa banda de surf instrumental The Satan’s Pilgrims. Esta alianza comenzó a forjarse a mediados de los 90, cuando comenzaron a trabajar en un álbum conjunto que quedaría inacabado guardándose en un cajón. Veinticinco años después el proyecto llega a su fin con una selección de versiones de piezas clásicas procedentes de musicales, cine, televisión y cultura pop de mediados del siglo pasado, todo llevado a ese sonido que combina el piano clásico con la humedad de la música surf.

We're just back from Tokyo and excited to share this trip report. We're up to Episode 187 on our Patreon feed but wanted to publish this here on the No Annual Fee feed since it's been a while since we've done a free show. Enjoy! 0:30 Discuss: Lots of Interest and Pent Up Demand for Japan 1:50 Premise of the Trip 2 adults 2 kids: 18 and 15 18 is actually considered a child age in Japan for some things 3:45 Panic Moment: Did I forget to buy a couple of return tickets? I've booked and canceled this trip so many times I've lost count Managing multiple PNRs booked across several different channels Didn't realize a couple tickets were purchased as roundtrip. Whew. Discuss: How do you manage this? 8:20 Airport Upgrades for JAL International Flights (Direct Link) We departed Boston - Tokyo today, nonstop with 3 of us in Business Class on AsiaMiles awards and 1 of us in Premium Economy booked with JAL Miles transferred from Marriott long ago. I've been monitoring award space for 1 more Business Class seat, but nothing materialized. No partner award opened up close in, and even when booking with JAL miles nothing was available at any award level. A week ago they sent an option to bid on the upgrade with cash starting at $625. I passsed. I called JAL a few days ago inquring about upgrades. The agent said I'd need to cancel and rebook and nothing was available in Business Class. My last hope was a same day airport upgrade and...it worked! When we got to the check-in counter I asked about airport upgrades with JAL miles, for my son's Premium Economy JAL Award to Business Class. The agent first said Business Class was sold out, but then went to check with her supervisor. She came back and said that since we booked with Cathay Pacific AsiaMiles that we couldn't upgrade. But when I explained to her that I booked his ticket with JAL miles that an upgrade was possible. It took 4 or 5 reps there, me recalling my JAL frequent flyer number on the spot ("write it down on this piece of paper, I'll wait"), and 30,000 JAL miles but they upgraded him. I originally booked his seat for 32,500 JAL miles + $396. I'd like to avoid those taxes + fees in the future, but booking JAL miles did indeed improve upgrade options as I hoped. If the upgrade didn't work out, we selected seats for the rest of us at the back of Business Class with him at the front of the Premium Economy cabin. That likely would have worked out quite well - it really is close with just a curtain separating. But this worked out great. A good backup if you need just 1 or 2 more seats to round out an itinerary where partner/low level space isn't behaving. 15:20 BA Lounge at Boston Logan Quite nice Not crowded for mid-day departure since not many flights 16:00 Outbound Flight: JAL Business Class Nonstop to Boston Wasn't spectacular but the direct flight was just what we needed to get the whole group behind this return trip to Japan No matter how you cut it: 14 hours is…a long flight. 17:45 Narita Arrivals Probably the most grueling international arrival I've experienced Seemed like a ton of flights coming in at the same time and lines were very long for…everything Probably good to do Visit Japan Web pre-arrival/QR code stuff ahead of time (helpful TravelSort post) but it didn't much expedite things. 1 hour to clear immigration 1 hour to clear customs (for no good reason other than long lines and clunky automated machines that do nothing but scan your QR code and match it up with your passport) 1 hour to figure out Narita Express train tickets (machines wouldn't take any of our credit cards even though they have Visa/MC/Amex logos on them) 1 hour to take the train 4+ hours total from gate to hotel right next to Tokyo Station Discuss: I had trepidation about this part of the trip going in, but it was unclear whether more research would actually help or just waste time/raise anxiety for things that wouldn't affect us. Lodging 22:00 Rough Times with Hyatt in Tokyo 22:30 Four Seasons Tokyo at Marunouchi Train view? Yes! Stayed here 4 nights 57 rooms Offered cash upgrade to a suite at check-in, declined. Deluxe 2 Queen room was *fantastic* for our situation. About 700sf, additional rollaway bed fit perfectly. Not super new/super modern (TV has a DVD player for example) but well designed, luxurious, and very comfortable. Room rate was around $1,200/nt + service charge. Booked a Four Seasons 4th night rate + Citi Prestige 4th night free. Was about $1,000/nt fully loaded. Expensive but at least we only had to book one room that comfortably fit us. We had a great stay. Loved the location (Tokyo Station has amazing shopping and restaurants in addition to being useful for transit), loved the room, loved the small size, loved the lack of points/status gimmicks. Just an absolutely first rate stay from beginning to end. Complimentary 3p late checkout to ease transition to next hotel Discuss: When is it the right time to pull the “forget points hotels” lever? 27:50 Conrad Tokyo Connecting Rooms? Yes! King City View + Twin City View (each about 500 sf) booked w/Hilton free night certificates from two Diamond accounts 290 rooms Feels almost like a Vegas hotel to me Big check-in area with multiple restaurants Diamonds check-in at “executive” lounge on top floor No upgrade offered or available at check-in. Said Diamond guests are entitled to a 1-category upgrade if rooms are available in that category. Since there were none of those rooms available, no upgrade was possible. There were all kinds of nicer rooms and suites showing available for booking at the time of check-in but those are off-limits for complimentary upgrades here I guess Not a big deal at all: We wanted connecting rooms. Bigger connecting rooms with better views really wouldn't have been meaningful. Lounge is packed (open for breakfast in addition to restaurant downstairs, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails) Breakfast is solid (well-stocked buffet + choice of a la carte hot item + beverages all complimentary with Diamond). Booked 2 rooms so unclear whether there would be comp friction with more than 2 guests per room. Requested 2p late checkout because our flight was at 6:30p. Best they could do is 1p. Discuss: The draw of “free” (night certificates/points), breakfast, lounge. Tough to justifying laying out cash for the hope of an incrementally better stay at a non-points hotel 38:30 Activities/Dining No such thing as a “must do” in Tokyo. It's like asking what to do in New York City. It depends on your interests! Did better on food this time. Sukiyaki, tonkatsu, curry, fluffy Japanese pancakes in addition to our staples of ramen and sushi. Plus hotel breakfasts. TeamLabs Planets Recommended Viewing: The Reluctant Traveler w/Eugene Levy on AppleTV (Episode 8 is on Tokyo) 48:00 Tokyo DisneySea They sell evening DisneySea tickets for around $40 pp weeknights so we popped over there the last night of our trip to check it out Getting there from the Conrad took about 25 minutes by taxi and cost $58 USD Park was absolutely mobbed at that hour. May have been inordinately crowded due to it being Friday night the day after The Emperor's Birthday and people may have been making a 4-day weekend out of it. Wait times were 2+ hours for most attractions. No way to pay to cut the line at that point in the day. Worse yet they were closing the queue for popular attractions if the estimated wait time was longer than the remaining time the park was open. Literally only went on the boat ride that goes around the park. A leisurely stroll to enjoy the ambiance but the entire place was so crowded it was hard to ignore. On the way back we took the train. It's cheap, complicated, but really not that bad if you know what you're doing. Disney monorail ticket + JR ticket + 2 subway tickets. Can route depending on what passes you have. Took about 45 minutes. The walk from Shiodome Station to the Conrad takes about 7 minutes and there's not much to see along the way (as compared to Tokyo Station). Can't recommend Google Maps strongly enough for figuring out train options around Tokyo. It's truly a game changer. 53:00 Return Flight: JAL Business Class Nonstop to Boston Sakura Business Class Lounge is nice 6:45p departure times out nicely for sleep Flight was an hour early, immigration with Global Entry and seemingly no customs was a breeze Absolutely magical to go from Tokyo airport to back home in about 12 hours

Acompaña a Sari y a sus amigos a adentrarse un poco en uno de los símbolos de protesta de Japón durante la posguerra: la canción Sukiyaki de Kyo Sakamoto y que más tarde sería reinterpretada por Selena. Después del 14 de agosto de 1945 en Japón el emperador Hirohito declara la rendición incondicional de su nación y con ello comenzó la Victoria sobre Japón o el día V-J. El cual marca el inicio de una larga ocupación de los aliados en tierras japonesas y que acarreará mucho dolor para la población nipona. Esto más tarde generará una serie de protestas conocidas como las Protestas Anpo. Una buena fortuna está detrás de las nubes La buena fortuna está en el cielo Por ello, miro arriba y miro hacia adelante.¡Escucha nuestro podcast exclusivo sobre el asesinato de Trotsky en Podimo! Aquí nuestra landing page: https://go.podimo.com/latam/historiachiquita Support the show

Today we're going to look at one of the very few records to become a US number one hit despite being sung in a language other than English -- a record that was also the first record by an Asian person ever to make the US number one. But it's also a record that shows how deeply embedded racism was in the Anglophonic countries. Today we're going to look at "Ue o Muite Arukō" by Sakamoto Kyu, or, as it was titled for English-speaking markets, "Sukiyaki", by Kyu Sakamoto: [Excerpt: Kyu Sakamoto, "Sukiyaki"] Before we start, I'd just like to apologise in advance for my extreme mangling of the Japanese words in this episode. I only speak English, and while I can usually guess at the pronunciation of terms in Romance or Germanic languages and not be too far off, I'm aware that Japanese is a very different language to any I've had any experience of before. Sakamoto Kyu started his career when he was sixteen in a comedy music group called the Drifters -- yes, yet another Drifters, or Dorifutāzu as they were called in Japan. This particular group would go on to have the most popular comedy show on Japanese TV, but Sakamoto was only with them for a brief period -- he was upset that he was only the second vocalist, rather than the lead, and so he joined a band called Danny Iida and Paradise King as their lead vocalist. Their first record, "Kanashiki Rokujissai", became a hit in Japan, but sadly I've not been able to find a copy of that record anywhere online. However, they had a string of other hits in its immediate wake, including versions of American hits like Neil Sedaka's "Calendar Girl": [Excerpt: Danny Iida and Paradise King, "Calendar Girl"] And Jimmy Jones' "Good Timing": [Excerpt: Danny Iida and Paradise King, "Good Timing"] Sakamoto went solo at the end of 1961, with his first solo record "Ue o Muite Arukō": [Excerpt: Sakamoto Kyu, "Ue o Muite Arukō"] That went to number one in Japan for three months, but for a while it did nothing anywhere else, and Sakamoto continued his previous career of making cover versions of American hits for the Japanese market, with records like his cover version of Del Shannon's "Hats Off to Larry": [Excerpt: Sakamoto Kyu, "Hats Off to Larry"] But then in 1963, Louis Benjamin, an executive with Pye Records, made a trip to Japan, and he heard "Ue o Muite Arukō" and thought it had hit potential in the UK. Rather than license the record, he decided to get a cover version made, by Kenny Ball's Jazzmen, one of the biggest trad groups in Britain. But he had one problem -- the song's name. He didn't think that British people would be able to pronounce "Ue o Muite Arukō", and he was probably correct, but he didn't choose to use a translation of the title either. The title, in English, means "I Look Up As I Cry", and was about crying at loss and trying to hide your tears -- specifically, in this case, crying after a political protest against American troops in Japan, which the writer knew would be unsuccessful, though he took that emotion and turned it into a more general one. "I Look Up as I Cry" would be a perfectly good title for a song, of course, but what Benjamin wanted was something that would highlight the fact that the song was Japanese, but would be recognisable and pronounceable to English people. So he renamed the song "Sukiyaki", which is actually the name for a type of beef hotpot, and that's the name under which Kenny Ball's version of the song came out: [Excerpt: Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen, "Sukiyaki"] Ball's version of the song was a hit, and so HMV in England rushed out the original, also under the title "Sukiyaki", and it made number six in the charts. Because of that success, it was also released by Capitol in the US, which was owned by the same company as HMV, and there it went to number one for three weeks. In both countries it was released as by Kyu Sakamoto, rather than Sakamoto Kyu -- in Japan, one says the family name first and the given name second, and swapping them round in Western countries is commonplace. Sakamoto went on a world tour, appeared on the Steve Allen show, and released an album which went top twenty in the US. He only had one other Hot One Hundred hit, though, "Shina no Yoru (China Nights)", which went to number 58: [Excerpt: Kyu Sakamoto, "Shina no Yoru"] Sakamoto continued to have a successful career in Japan, but had no further hits in the Anglophone world. But he was still the first Asian artist ever to have a US number one, and his record was one of the biggest hits of the pre-Beatles sixties in the States -- according to some sources it has sold thirteen million records worldwide, making it one of the twenty biggest selling singles of all time. Sakamoto died in 1985, in a plane crash. He was forty-three.

Hi friends!! This week we talk about a timeless song, Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto. In this episode we discuss the meaning of this song and the way we interpret music as a whole. Also, If you're curious to find out our opinions on today's hits, grab your favorite drink and join us!

Singer/bassist/guitarist/songwriter Janice Marie Johnson, as a founding member of A Taste of Honey, sang lead on the million-selling hits "Boogie Oogie Oogie" and a cover of Kyu Sakamoto's 1963 gold hit "Sukiyaki." The group won the 1978 Grammy for Best New Artist. The number one R&B/pop "Boogie Oogie Oogie" was used in a national TV ad campaign by fast food chain Burger King during summer 1999. The track has also been sampled by hip-hop and rap groups MC Lyte, Mac 10, and others. Johnson also sang background vocals on Lionel Richie's ten-million-selling LP Can't Slow Down. Capitol Records released as a part of their Double Shot series a two-album single CD that included the group's debut album, A Taste of Honey (includes a 12" remix of "Boogie Oogie Oogie") and Twice As Sweet (includes "Sukiyaki") in January 2000. The Los Angeles native, whose father was a musician, started playing music as a small child. Growing up, Johnson sang in L.A.-area jazz clubs, opening for Miles Davis, among others. While attending college she began playing bass. About 1971, Johnson met keyboardist Percy Kibble while auditioning for a vacation cruise gig with Princess Cruises lines, and the two started a band using the title of one of their favorite songs, "A Taste of Honey," as the band's moniker. Adding guitarist Hazel Payne and drummer Donald Johnson, they began playing Southern California bars and military bases in the U.S. and abroad. After meeting with producers Fonce Mizell (formerly of the Motown songwriting/arranging/producing collective The Corporation that had hits with the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back," "ABC," and "The Love You Save") and his brother Larry Mizell who had success with LTD ("Love Ballad"), the group was signed to Capitol Records by Larkin Arnold after meeting him after a performance at the wedding of Smokey Robinson's bass player. While playing before a staring, apathetic audience during a gig at an airbase in San Bernardino, CA, Johnson improvised these lyrics: "If you're thinking that you're too cool to boogie/we've got news for you/everyone here tonight must boogie/and you are no exception to the rule." The infamous bass solo intro on "Boogie Oogie Oogie" came about when Johnson was warming up before the recording session unaware that she was being recorded. The single "Boogie Oogie Oogie" b/w "World Spin" sold more than two million copies, and topped Billboard's charts at number one R&B/pop for three weeks in fall 1978. After the huge success of "Boogie Oogie Oogie," Johnson detested the group being labeled as a "disco group," but that would change later in a big way. The follow-up single, the slinky funky "Do It Good" b/w "I Love You" went to number 13 R&B in summer 1979. The A Taste of Honey album went platinum, going to number six pop in summer 1978. A Taste of Honey was a favorite in Japan long before signing with Capitol, having traveled there to play military bases and entering the Yamaha Song Festival. One of Johnson's favorite records was Kyu Sakamoto's "Sukiyaki." After hearing Linda Ronstadt's version of Smokey's "Oo Baby Baby," Johnson decided that the group (now Johnson and Payne) should do a remake of a classic song. Contacting her Japanese subpublisher who in turn contacted the original writers, Rokusuke EI and Hachidai Nakamura, to get permission to redo the song with English lyrics. After employing two translators, one of which came up with lyrics that were close to the bittersweet theme of the original song title, which translated into English as "I Look Up When I Walk (To Keep the Tears From Falling)," Johnson decided to add her own original lyrics to the song.

Quentin Tarantino gives us a Japanese history lesson about two rival gangs fighting over Captain Crunch's lost treasure, in the heart of Nevada during the Gold Rush. J-horror icon Takashi Miike blends the flavors of Akira Kurosawa and Sergio Corbucci...or something.
