This special feature is "Takaki Bread".

If you hear "Takaki bread" and immediately understand it, you may be from Hiroshima. It was founded as "Takaki Bread" shortly after the bombing, and now it is a bakery that develops brands such as "Andersen" and "Little Mermaid". The shop is always lined with freshly baked delicious bread, and it is full of customers who enjoy shopping by taking it on a tray while hesitating.
The sight of "taking this" freshly baked bread "on a tray by yourself" is now commonplace, but "Andersen" and "The Little Mermaid" were the first to start this in Japan. It was in the early 1970s. It was very difficult from the bread making technology, machinery and equipment at that time, and the conventional wisdom, but "tasting and enjoying the original taste of bread enriches not only the food of consumers but also their lives." I tackled a number of difficult problems and realized it. What's even more amazing is that the technology that we had a hard time gaining was released without monopoly. Thanks to that, a freshly baked bakery was opened from town to town all over Japan, and delicious bread became very familiar.
Andersen's other "First Story" is the release of Danish pastries. It was a product that was born as a result of the founder Shunsuke Takagi's first visit to Denmark in 1959, impressed by its deliciousness, and struggling to introduce it to Japan.
This 110-page message conveys the important message sent through the food of bread.

In addition to the special feature, this issue has a lot of topics on "food culture" such as nostalgic sweet food, Hiroshima's famous okonomiyaki, and an introductory article on champagne.

As a fuel for lights, "Abura" has a long relationship with humankind, which is similar to fire. Its history and culture related to oil, introduction of various raw materials such as rapeseed, cottonseed, and perilla, talk of "oil" and nutrition to analyze fatty acids, reportage of producers who work hard in various places, and continue for 200 years in Kyoto We will deliver a total of 90 pages, such as the business of the oil shop.

This time is a special feature of "Abura".

The relationship between humankind and fire is often talked about, but behind that was "oil". This is because "oil" is indispensable to keep the fire and make it shine brighter. Start with the fat of trees, fish, and beasts, and then squeeze from nuts and grass seeds. The familiar rapeseed oil first appeared in the Edo period, and was used exclusively for lighting. At that time, "Abura" is said to be cheaper than water, but in the past it was a very valuable item. Until the tempura became popular, I rarely used "oil" as a food. It's been 100 years since the beginning of the Meiji era, and cooking that doesn't use "oil" has become more rare. Not only the "visible oil" used for cooking, but also the "invisible oil" contained in the ingredients. Even in rice crackers and Japanese sweets, "Abura" is used quite a lot.
What surprised me when I was interviewing was that most of the raw materials were imported. As you know, Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is low, but when it comes to the raw materials for "Abura," the figure is 6% or less. As for sesame, 99.95% is imported. Sesame oil is something we love and is now indispensable for Japanese food.

Besides that, "Abura" is actually full of things you don't know. What are the ingredients for so-called salad oil? Is it really fat, such as how it is made? etc. In this special feature, we will deliver a 90-page "Abura" trivia.
Also, the story of delicious fried tofu and the story of that "Ishigakijima ra oil". "Stone Raga", which appears occasionally in Fudebako, finally shows the whole picture together with the producers Penguins and his wife.

Aka, a special color for Japanese people. A total of 90 pages, including the words, variations in raw materials and colors, architectural history of red, stories of adhesives that shape red, and land closely related to red: a trip to Mt. Koya and Fukiya, Okayama Prefecture. To do.

This time, "Aka" is a special feature in red color.

What do you think of when you hear Aka? Strawberries, roses, posts, sunsets, torii gates, alarms, etc. It looks delicious, passionate, and kiken!・ I think there is an aggressive image, such as the degree of appearance. Aka is a color that attracts us very much for some reason. According to one theory, the image of "red = sun, fire, blood = life-and-death deciding thing" is imprinted on the depths of the human mind, so it seems that red is recognized as a special color. The customs and customs of revealing sacred things and things that you want to stand out come from there.
And from ancient times, what was the "red" moto was minerals, plants, and insects. A typical example is cinnabar. When mercury in the ground reacts with sulfur, it turns bright red, and cinnabar is a mineral called mercury sulfide produced in this way. The cinnabar that was dug out was finely ground and mixed with adhesives such as glue and lacquer, and applied to buildings and vessels. The great thing is that these minerals usually also have antiseptic effects. In Japan, there are about 30 wooden buildings that have remained since the Nara period, but almost all of them (mainly large temples) were painted. It was to hide things = to make them sacred and to make them hard to rot. It is now possible to easily synthesize red color, but it was difficult when we were collecting minerals, flowers, and insects. It seems that the red color was traded at an amount comparable to gold. This special feature is about the history, explanation of raw materials, the function of adhesives that give shape to red, and the architectural history of red. Don't miss the two travelogues around Aka, "Mt. Koya" and "Okayama / Fukiya"! Why is Mt. Koya involved? Please take a look at the book!

Daruma-san is an indispensable lucky charm. There are other red stories, such as the red ink that is used by calligraphy professionals. In addition, there are some changes in this "Fudeba", such as a report of an art project held in Mino last fall and an essay sent by a Japanese businessman who had a deal with Limoges in France. This is.
