**** 牛蒡：ごぼう；GOBOU ****

GOBOU is actually "grass roots". It is made from special grass.

In WW2, Japanese army served GOBOU to the prisoner of the war and they clamed for it because Japanese army abused them.

GOBOU is full of fiber and other nutrition without additional calorie.

**** 合気道：あいきどう;AIKI-DO ****

I don't know how AIKI-DO is known to the world but I think most foreign people are confused AIKI-DO with KARATE or some other "martial arts".

AIKI-DO is much different from other martial arts. It does not need physical force.

Here, some KARATE guys tried to learn AIKI-DO. These guys are trained KARATE guys for over ten years including the camera man.

The guy waring "YAWARGIDO" T-shirt is the AIKI-DO guy, who made KARATE guys down without force. He says "when I use force, the target will resist against it. I just stroke them.".

Here he shows a technique from "一教:いっきょう;learning step one".

Actual Performance starts at 1:00.

After all, the KARATE guys learn nothing in this movie. They are only wondering what is happening.

Here is next stage (added).

AIKI-DO guy tried to bring down his left arm and KARATE guys tried to stop it.

**** 鰹節：かつおぶし；KATSUO－BUSHI ****

KATSUO－BUSHI is boiled, smoked, dried and fermented bonito (KATSUO).
AS it is the basic of the Japanese food, every "Japanese food chef" should know about it.

KATSUO-BUSHI is often served as films or flakes as shown in this movie.

What will happen when you give the KATSUO-BUSHI to cats?
Here is the first encounter of a kitten with KATSU-BUSHI.

But be careful when you give KATSUO-BUSHI to cats. As KATSUO-BUSHI has to much mineral, it could cause urinary stones.

here is how KATSU0-BUSHI is made. It takes half a year to complete these processes.
