Long time, Tets. Good to see you again. Wow, I didn't know her father's great job, thank you. Her elegantly delivered signature phrase “oishugozaimasu” (this is delicious) is still very popular in Japanese gourmet TV shows even among young people who watched Iron Chef show in their young days. I am surprised at not only her father's great job but also that her mother was a descendant from royal family of ancient Ryukyu (now called, Okinawa: south islands of Japan) Dynasty. Indeed. She was elegant, inteligent and big-hearted. I now understand why she wrote some books about Okinawa cuisine. Great people from this great show, Iron Chef are getting gone one by one... so sad. Naomi Kawashima who appeared several times in this show, both of original and 2012 version has passed on, too, on 9/24, whose husband is Toshi Yoroizuka; he appeared in Strawberry–Dessert Battle in ICJ 2012 series... Toshi was cried a lot. Anyway I am greatful that we, gourmet fans and IC fans are standing on the joy of their achievement.

Long time, Okonomiyagi. Yes, It was sad. We liked her so much. She was a pioneer of food journalist in Japan. She respected all chefs and food culture. And also it was her who nominated Chen and Michiba to be Iron Chefs. I really pray for her. RIP.

No problem. But anyway I was sad when I heard that. The conversation was like that: Me: When are you planning the next Iron Chef Special? Fuji: Iron Chef...? Please let me check. Hold on, please. Fuji: Thanks for waiting. I just checked with the section in charge, and found that we have no information about it at the moment. Me: Oh, no! So... you mean, you have nothing even for planning? Fuji: We are sorry but we don't have any information here at the moment. Me: Ahhh... I'm so sorry to hear that. I see. OK, thank you. Fuji: I will report that I had this inquiry to the chargeable section. Me: Oh, yes, please. s1.fujitv.co.jp/safe/contact/index.html

I have been thinking that, too. I will call Fuji's audience call center.

Trully sad news. Tomitoku Shu died of pneumonia on Tuesday. His crab battle with Michiba was really impressive.
Another great challenger of Iron Chef has gone... RIP.

Thank you for the upgrade of the board, Man Alive! I'm getting used to the new appearance... so... the one before we used as "new threads" on the above is now "recent threads" in the below.

Just found English article: english.kyodonews.jp/news/2014/01/268378.htmlHere is her recipe site “Katsuyo Recipes” (Japanese) and the site staff’s post “important notice to dear users”: recipe.sp.findfriends.jp/ recipe.sp.findfriends.jp/?pid=info_detail_140128aHer recipe site’s staff posted: “As everyone’s mother, she has delivered lots of happiness and smiles through her home cooking recipes over 50 years. It was just her pleasure that everyone has “full of smiles” days through home cooking. During her long recuperation, she had been talking to her recipe site’s staffs with smile, drinking her favorite coffee, “Even if I die, I would be so happy that my delicious home cooking recipes would stay as each home’s cooking culture forever.” Anyway so sad...!! Hail, mamma!!
