Okonomiyaki, Hiroshima's Best Food

Okonomiyaki is a savory multi-layer single-dish meal, and the very best version is found in Hiroshima. Its name is literally "how you like" "fried".

It's not the 1st time I wondered at the very strong cultural relationship between Japan and France.
And it started in the 19th century when it was pretty rare ( #understatement ) for a European colonial country to treat a non-White country as equal.
At least as equal as it could be for 19th-century minds.

Sumo's trip to Paris may not have mattered much competitively, but it offered a vivid reminder that the sport's rituals and symbolism can resonate as strongly as the action in the ring. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/06/17/sumo/paris-sumo-coverage/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #sumo #paris #japansumoassociation #kotozakura

Wisst ihr, in letzter Zeit ziehe ich mich immer mehr zurück, nicht nur, weil ich gerne mich dem #Schreiben widme, sondern weil vieles mir auch immer toxischer vorkommt, gerade Kleinigkeiten dir für mich aber einen großen, negativen Eindruck hinterlassen.

Zur Kompensation schaue ich auch gerne die Videos des #Sumo Stalls Tatsunami und freue mich auf das große Turnier im Juli.
Selbst bin ich zwar kein Sumo aber ich mag den Space der hier geschaffen wird, sehr wohltuend!

I love that Hiro is doing English commentary for the Paris #sumo exhibition because he's SO funny. Everything he says is spot-on native-level fluent English but some of his turns of phrase are odd as hell and it's extremely charming.
