Why Do So Many Japanese Retirees Become Soba Masters?

SOBAGIRI RAKUJYO In Japan, there’s a curious and often heartwarming trend. After years of commuting, overtime, and corporate life, some Japanese salarymen retire and suddenly… take up soba-making by hand. Their friends chuckle. Their kids roll their eyes. “Seriously? Dad’s becoming a soba chef now?” But behind the jokes lies something very real: the quiet joy of working with your hands, and the meditative rhythm of turning buckwheat flour into something deeply nourishing. What Is Soba? Soba noodles are thin, light noodles made mainly from buckwheat flour, often mixed with a bit of wheat flour for elasticity.

Pokémon and McDonald’s: A Card Frenzy That Shook Japan

It All Started with Happy Meals Japan is once again in the middle of a pop culture frenzy—and this time, the stage is McDonald’s. The trigger? Happy Meals.

Tokyo: Hotter Than the Tropics

  Tokyo’s Summer Heat Is Reaching Alarming Levels In recent years, Tokyo’s summer heat has become more than just uncomfortable — it has reached alarming levels. This isn’t mere anecdote; data clearly show that Tokyo is often hotter than Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost tropical islands, famous for their beaches, coral reefs, and warm climate. 2025: Another Scorching Summer Ahead Japan’s Meteorological Agency has already warned that  summer 2025 will be yet another brutal season . Temperatures in Tokyo are expected to exceed the seasonal average, with more frequent days over 35°C (95°F), and humidity levels staying dangerously high. Experts even suggest that this summer could rival or surpass the record-breaking heat of 2023 and 2024. If you’re planning to visit or live in Tokyo during the summer months,  be prepared — the heat is real, and it’s here to stay. Isn’t Okinawa Supposed to Be Hotter? Many people unfamiliar with Japan assume Okinawa should be the hottest place in t...
