Isoragi
Dazzlingly Jewel-like Seafood
T
o stand out amongst the countless number of seafood restaurants in Fukuoka and still remain reasonably priced you have be extra special. Isoragi, located inside Kooten on the ninth floor of JR Hakata City, delivers that "extra special" in the form of delicate details, full flavors and with comfort in a simplistic modern Japanese ambiance. Most patrons go to enjoy their kaisen-don (rice bowl with seafood
whatwhere&howmuch
toppings) or their chazuke (the same with fish broth poured on top). Ordered as a set you get appetizers, soup, dessert and tea. The most popular set is the Isoragi Kaisen-don which includes a colorful selection including uni, ikura, ebi, made, rotate, anago, salmon, and more on a bed of warm rice. Add a dash of soy sauce or Isoragi's original sesame sauce. Most restaurants slice the fish, whereas Isoragi chops the seafood into small cubes which makes the seafood easier to eat and glimmer like jewels! Mixed sets, with two smaller bowls for donburi and chazuke, are available.

Bucking the Brand Jesse Kirkwood, Lake District, UK, Student / teacher
S
UGOI! Imagine the shriek of glee when, in an ill-advised attempt to break the awkward first-lesson ice, I revealed to my class that I, too, was a consumer of brands. Yes, that’s a Swatch, this is a Canon, these jeans might look like Levi’s but they came from the discount section of Aeon Mall. My poorly constructed lesson plan falls to pieces; the intended use of brands as a springboard for discussion of consumer culture gives way to a frenzied scramble for LV bags and Hello Kitty stationery. Like most countries, Japan is filled to bursting point with brands, but here their reign is enforced with a unique and often unsettling vigor. They scream at us from billboards, interrupt the TV programs they sponsor, and fill vending machines with more varieties (I use the word lightly) of coffee than
even the most exhausted salaryman could want or need. People are, more than anywhere else, walking advertisements: the nation teems with armies of over-equipped hikers, high-tech spandex-clad cyclists, wielders of the latest and most enormous DSLR cameras. And with any successful brand, it is of course the name that matters more than any particular qualities of the thing itself. Which brings us to the other tendency that sets Japan apart: the proclivity for applying this ’brand logic’ to things beyond mere consumer goods. Foreign places, for example, are often sold to the Japanese consumer with a reliance on easily-identifiable landmarks and cliches. And when reality fails to match expectation the shock can be enormous: witness ’Paris syndrome’, the psychological breakdown experienced by a handful of Japanese tourists every year

when they visit the French capital and find it doesn’t correspond with the fashionably romantic version they were fed through magazines and television. (If you’re wondering how bad it could possibly be, Wikipedia says symptoms include ’acute delusional states, hallucinations, feelings of persecution, derealization, depersonalization, anxiety, and also psychosomatic manifestations such as dizziness, tachycardia and sweating’.) I am repeatedly told that Mont Saint Michel is the most beautiful place in France, but one person I talked to seemed to think it was a sort of Disneyland located somewhere ’near Italy’. These mysterious far-flung places are sold to the consumer in just the same way as the latest camera or smartphone or yoghurt, with the same emphasis on an easilyrecognized brand identity at the expense of factual accuracy. On occasion I feel that I too have become a branded product, specifically that of the Igirisu-jin, a variety of European, which can be considered under the umbrella term gaikokujin (or gaijin, depending on how much offense I’m causing at any given moment).
I come with certain guarantees – the usual cliches about tea, bad weather, and a fondness for Wayne Rooney – and can be filed under the English label, to the relief of all involved. The aforementioned jeans were once groped by a passer-by in Tenjin, who claimed they were ’Beckham fashion’. This caused almost as much confusion as it did alarm, since as I said they were discount mall jeans, until I realised that this was probably more an exercise in Igirisu-jin window-shopping than a display of refined taste in denim. When you become a brand, you become an accessory, an acquisition to be paraded around town. One particularly odd evening involved a friendly shoemaker inviting a friend and I to his apartment ’to show us his shoes’ before calling up various friends who, lured by the promise of real live English people, proceeded to have a party around us. Sometimes, though, I think we like to be labelled. Not only are we afraid to cause Paris syndrome levels of mental turmoil by going against the grain, but there is also an undeniable comfort to be drawn from the ease with which a reference to Manchester United or
the Queen can get us into a conversation. And, while their starting points may be the same tired cliches and appropriate responses, chats like those can lead you anywhere. The reason they often don’t is more likely to be our limited Japanese than any tendency on the part of our conversation partner to slot us into the predefined boxes required by brand mentality. That is ultimately the biggest challenge: not simply that as gaikokujin we are liable to become one more brand among many, but that it is our own choice whether or not we allow ourselves to be labelled in such a reductive way – and our own fault if we do.

mbitious, dare we say “genki”, Scotsman Evan Kirby runs GenkiJACS Japanese School in Fukuoka. At age eighteen Evan moved from his small hometown of Dumfries to Hawaii in search of warmer pastures. Five years and a university degree later he realized most of his friends were Japanese and decided to make another big move by coming to Fukuoka on the JET Program. After meeting his wife, then a teacher-in-training, the pair discovered a gap in the market for Japanese-language schools and launched GenkiJACS in 2004. Evan is now Director of the popular school, which caters to the needs of Western students who are mostly interested in Japan for cultural reasons. They organize up to ten activities weekly including tea ceremony, kimono-wearing, ikebana, as well as trips, film screenings and language classes. The school taught over 3,000 students to date - and they keep coming back, some as many as ten times! Evan finds it rewarding to have the opportunity to fulfil the dreams of his students, and enjoys working alongside his wife and dedicated staff members. Although the Fukuoka school will always be home base, GenkiJACS will soon expand with a new school in Tokyo later this spring!

nowing that the weather would become nice again, Fukuoka Now staff hopped into our car in late February for a weekend getaway in Oita! Famous for some of the best hot springs in Japan, taking a dip in a steamy mineral bath was a must but we also wanted to see and do more. Read our detailed report online - including maps and tons of photos - and plan your own “Oita Weekend Getaway”!
1. Usa Shrine Our first stop was Usa Shrine, featuring paths through forested areas connecting numerous brightly orange painted structures, gates and other places of worship. Well known as a “power spot” we left refreshed for the next stop. mountainside above Beppu City. Famous for it’s therapeutic waters and a delicious pudding made with hot spring’s steam.
5. Oita Fragrance Museum 3. Nagasakibana Resort Campsite
2. Showa Town This was one of the highlights of the trip! A townscape made in image of Japan in the Showa period (1950~60s), complete with period automobiles and a museum filled with neatly displayed memorabilia, is sure to bring back nostalgic memories - or educate you on Japan of yesteryore.
This popular summertime holiday spot is definitely worth visiting in spring to see the yellow rapeseed flowers that cover the whole area. Enjoy the sky, sea and colorful flowers and take home a souvenir of oil made from the seeds of flowers grown in the area. Works by international artists, including Yoko Ono, also on display. Bungalow rental (¥5,000 yen/night).
Another highlight and surprise stop was to this large-scale fragrance museum. The displays, complete with English labels, were most educational. Then we got to make our own unique perfume to take home – sweet!

Fukuoka City Bulletin Selected news topics by Fukuoka Now from Fukuoka City’s Shisei Dayori
第11回森・花・緑のまちかど写真コンテスト推薦「夜桜爛漫」
◊ City Starts PM2.5 Forecast E-mail Service City Hall now sends messages via its disaster prevention info-mail service just after 7:00 when daily PM2.5 levels are forecast to exceed the Ministry of the Environment standard (35μg/m3). Please refer to the suggested actions in these e-mails. This service is also used to provide information on weather warnings, earthquakes, tsunamis, rainfall, yellow sand and smog. To sign up for the service, please send a blank e-mail to entry@fukuoka-city.jp. Inquiries: Environmental Conservation Section, 733-5386
◊ Fukuoka Castle Cherry Blossom Festival A cherry blossom festival will be held in Maizuru Park, one of the city’s prime cherry blossom areas, Mar. 22 ~ 31. The castle ruins and nearly 1,000 cherry trees in the park will be lit up at night (18:00 - 22:00), and food stalls will be set up near the grassy area by Korokan. On Mar. 23, 24, 30 and 31 from 11:00 ~ 16:00, two historical structures, the Shiomi Turret and the Tamon Turret, will be opened to the public. Visitors can enjoy the night scenery from atop the castle keep for ¥300.
◊ Hakata-Tenjin Tulip Road 100,000 tulips planted by elementary school students, area management groups and local volunteers last year are set to bring some color to the streets between Hakata Station and Kego Park. The peak viewing time is late
Yipee! For FREE!
March to mid April. For more information on sites in Tenjin and Hakata, pick up a free copy of the Hakata Walking Map at a Tourist Information Counter or the Information Plaza at City Hall. Also available as download here: http://hakatamap.jp/img/walkingmap_hakata2013.pdf (Walking tour events will be held Mar. 9 ~ May 6).
◊ Welcome to Fukuoka New to Fukuoka? The City provides free copies of the Fukuoka Living Guide (Japanese), a guide to city services and public facilities, and the Household Garbage Regulations, available in four languages (English, Chinese, Korean and Japanese). You can also pick up a Flood Hazard Map (Japanese) for your ward. All are available at the General Affairs Section
in each Ward Office and at the Information Plaza in City Hall.
◊ Bicycle Safety Ordinance Goes into Effect Bicycle accidents are on the rise in Fukuoka. To ensure rider safety and improve etiquette, a new Bicycle Safety Ordinance will go into effect on Apr. 1. Under the new law, riders will be asked to push their bicycles on crowded sidewalks, attach lights and reflectors and enroll in bicycle accident insurance. Helmets will be mandated for all children up to junior high school age, and the sidewalk on the west side of Watanabe-dori Ave. in Tenjin will be designated as a "Push Your Bicycle Zone" (Enforcement hours: M ~ F: 8:00 ~ 19:00, Weekends/holidays: 10:00 ~ 19:00).
Gardening Show Flower pots created by local citizens, companies and universities will be displayed in Kego Park Apr. 6 ~14 (10:00 ~ 17:00). On Apr. 6 and 7, a limited number of cut tulips will be given to the first several visitors to commemorate Kyushu’s first direct flight to Europe.
For more Information Fukuoka City Bulletin Fukuoka Shisei Dayori is City Hall’s official magazine published bi-weekly on 1st and 15th of each month 23 times per year. It’s available in Japanese online too. Consider using it for Japanese study! ふくおか市政だより Website: www.city.fukuoka.lg.jp/shisei/kouhou-hodo/shiseidayori
