The kitchen knife of Japan is popular in Switzerland. It is a kitchen knife of Japan in cocks' hands.

A high-level kitchen knife made in Japan came to be marketed in Switzerland recently. Is a Swiss army knife and is there a chance of the market entry in the kitchen knife of Japan worldwide in famous Switzerland?

The kitchen knife circumstances of Switzerland were asked to Mr. Michael Bach who explained the goodness of the kitchen knife of Japan to a general consumer of the hobby by the cook and the dish of a young professional in the high-level kitchen articles shop and walked.

Charm as tool

In the department store and the kitchen specialty store in the city in Switzerland, the kitchen knife made in Japan has been exhibited in the showcase of the glass that locks like sharp and feeling of luxury's appealing. The most popular three morality kitchen knives (versatile kitchen knife) in the kitchen knife of Japan that the president and Mr. Bach of "[Seko] (CeCo Ltd)" import in Switzerland are 259 francs (about 22,000 yen). It is a price about twice or more the kitchen knife made in Europe past. Because it is not [hakane], it is not easy to rust, and the kitchen knife of a hard Damascene alloy says to "Consumer who wants to spend money on the thing that can be thought to be my one's double who can have pleasure" by the catchphrase regardless by return with the recession in the blade in 32 [**ne] [ga] layers that it sells.

When the technology of Japan was requested to use a high-tech ceramic for the clock originally as a clock engineer, Mr. Bach met a ceramic kitchen knife. It was a kitchen knife that had not been known in Switzerland yet. When having sold it through the Internet etc. six years ago, it is said that the demand for a high-level kitchen knife was discovered to be besides a ceramic kitchen knife.

「It connected with the image of Samurai's sword. Because it was known to be made to cut the ingredient delicately by a peculiar process of manufacture also to the consumer in Switzerland, it was understood that it was a charm, and I thought that this was a niche market. Now, the kitchen knife of Japan that I import occupies the high-level kitchen knife market that "[Vikutorinokkusu] (Victorinox)" of Switzerland doesn't cover. 」

80 percent is a man the kitchen knife of the Damascene alloy is bought now. It is said to the woman that a ceramic kitchen knife is popular. 「The man is looking as a tool. It ties to the Japanese sword, and the one with high quality is requested. On the other hand, the woman seems to feel the charm in the ceramic that doesn't move to the dish fragrant of iron and the taste of iron when light and cutting it. 」

There is demand for the collector of the sword, too. The kitchen knife that is completely handmade and beautifully appears to the blade the pattern sells to such people. Mr. Bach says that it will sell such 200,000 yen or more and the doing commodities from 50 40 a year.

Sharpness

"It was thought that the European roughly handled the kitchen knife. " according to Mr. Bach who was enchanted the man and the woman to sharpness, and said that it would buy the kitchen knife made in Japan. It is an image that the butcher beats and cuts the beef of each bone with a big kitchen knife. 「For instance, the kitchen knife of Japan can thinly cut the apple. If it is a knife of Europe, the apple is divided completely. 」

The kitchen knife made in Japan is sharpened very thinly compared with the knife of Europe. This is connected with sharp. Mr. Philip [eruzena-] of sharpened "[Eruzena-] cutlery blacksmith (Elsener Messerschmied AG )" trained the kitchen knife of Japan to the specialty for four years in town Solingen of the cutlery of Germany in Switzerland. The history of the kitchen knife of Europe is summed up when having gone out of use along with the industrialization of the kitchen knife manufacturer and it explains though there was a kitchen knife made from the blacksmith in Europe.

「The kitchen knife of Europe cutting cuts. However, hardness is different from the kitchen knife of Japan, and it doesn't cut soon. It might not be thought that it is excluding this when it knows the sharpness of the kitchen knife of Japan. 」

The manufacturer in Japan also solved such respect though only a skilled cook's being able to treat because it sharpened only one side like maintained serious because the taste and fragrant of iron moved to the ingredient, and it was easy to rust, and the fish slicer, etc. was a difficult point though the quality of the kitchen knife of Japan had been evaluated high since before. Thus, the kitchen knife that a general consumer was able also to handle easily came to be sold also in Switzerland.

A cock and a general consumer in Switzerland say that he or she seems to use "The special one is felt in the charm of the manual industry of the kitchen knife of Japan" Mr. [eruzena-].

Mr. Bach admits that the enlightenment of the kitchen knife is necessary for the consumer in Switzerland. 「It is an as usual paring knife that is used by the ordinary family though the kitchen knife that a star cook is using with the TV cooking program is seen. Moreover, a general consumer who comes to the shop buys the meat switching off kitchen knife of Europe to buy a big kitchen knife. However, 80 percent is a vegetable in cutting at home with the kitchen knife. 」

"Tradition" does the charm of the kitchen knife of Japan to cocks that Mr. Bach is young. It came to pay attention to the kitchen knife of Japan as the interest in the dish and Japanese food that made the best use of an original taste and texture of the ingredient rose. The kitchen knife of Japan is being gripped by hands of young cocks in Switzerland that puts excellent results by the world title now.

It is exhaust gas of the thermal power plant and a new technology to the culture Global warming measures as for the euglena.

Biotechnology venture company "[Yu-gurena]" (Tokyo) succeeded in the culture of monad "Euglena" with an intermediate character of the animal and the plant by using the exhaust gas of the thermal power plant including a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2). This company seems to be paid to attention as new Global warming measures to make the alternate fuel the development also of the technology that makes the biofuel from the euglena, and after CO2 of exhaust gas is decreased.

The euglena ends in the length about 0.1milli and rice field, etc.It moves by the organ of flagellum ([benmou]) like the animal with the character of the plant that absorbs CO2 by photosynthesis. The photosynthetic capacity height reaches tens of times tropical forests by the feature.

This company constructs a large amount of culture facilities of the euglena of for food possible in the Okinawa Prefecture stone wall city for the first time for 05 years in the world. The health food supplement and the cookie that makes the euglena a material are manufactured, and it sells it. The experiment that blew in the exhaust gas immediately before going out of the chimney to the culture tank of the euglena was done in Okinawa Electric Power Company, Incorporated KIN thermal power plant (Okinawa Prefecture KIN town) in June this year.

This exhaust gas reaches about 15% which the CO2 density is 400 times atmospheric near. The euglena has grown up well though the nutrient medium who put the gas becomes acidity, and it is not possible to live in the greater part of living things. The proliferative rate reached 20 times or less when air was passed. It is thought that photosynthesis is done with abundant CO2 in exhaust gas, and it proliferated.

If there are a lot of lipids in the cell, the cell is broken, and the chemistry is processed, algae such as euglenas become good quality biodiesel fuels. This company makes the biofuel from the cultured euglena, aims at the euglena in power generation etc. again with use and the exhaust gas, and it aims at the development of the circulation system named culture. President Mitsuru Izumo「It was able to be proven that the euglena grew up in the gas of the elevated CO2 concentration. I want to advance the CO2 reduction and the achievement of the carbon cycle type society. 」It makes it.

The saviour and HS250h appearance of Lexus.


Lexus HS250h that had already made style & outline public by Motor Show was formally put on the market. Be not along ..receiving the order.. of 3000 every the sales target 500 units per month already. It is likely to become a beginner nature model for Lexus. What kind of really car is it?

Automobile rank first of all. It only has to be able to image new [regashii;] B4 and Audi A4 as a size of the body. It is one size larger than three series and Benz C classes of BMWs. It images it if it is asked like Japan, "Engine displacement", that is, "It is 2.5-liter class".

The installed power unit is engine +2.4 liter four cylinder 147 horsepower of 150 horsepower motor. It is correct with the engine used for new Prius if it thinks the motor to be a grade improvement by about two turns. I hear that the acceleration performance was equal to three-liter engine.

When you hear the matter of the anxious fuel cost「It is 23km/L that becomes about 2/3 of the Prius by 10.15 mode fuel cost. I think that you only have to think about 2/3 as for practical fuel cost. 」。The fuel cost of new Prius about is 22km/L, a high-speed cruise, and 25km/L in the town.

Is it 15km/L, and high-speed cruise 17km/L level in the town when thinking by 2/3 of these numerical values?By the way, in inside 8km/L and high-speed cruise 12km/L in the town when it is [regashii;] B4 and Audi A4. The exhaust amount decrease of carbon dioxide expects it in the user in the traffic circumstance that congestion and the signal waiting are a lot of.

Toyota Prius top-selling car in Japan for 3 months

TOKYO (AP) -- Toyota's hugely popular Prius hybrid ranked as Japan's top-selling car in July, clinching the spot for the third consecutive month as tax breaks boosted sales of green vehicles, an auto industry group said.

The Japan Automobile Dealers Association said Toyota Motor Corp., the world's No. 1 automaker, sold 27,712 Prius cars in July, up 24 percent from June.

Sales of gas-electric hybrid cars have been surging in Japan despite the global auto slump, helped by government incentives such as making hybrid vehicles tax free.

"The government program is spurring demand for hybrid vehicles like the Prius. Strong sales of the Prius also reflected a trend that consumers were interested in eco-friendly products," said Kentaro Nakata, an association spokesman.

Toyota's rival, Honda Motor Co., also enjoyed brisk sales of the Insight hybrid. Japan's No. 2 automaker sold 10,210 Insight cars in July, up 16.3 percent from June.

The Insight, a hybrid marketed as a cheaper alternative to the Prius, held the No. 4 slot in July auto sales. Honda's popular Fit compact secured the No. 2 spot in July sales.

Toyota's Vitz subcompact, which is marketed overseas as the Yaris, came third in July auto sales, the association said.

Honda, meanwhile, Thursday brushed off claims in Japanese and overseas media that the Insight is a copycat of the Prius.

"We don't think it looks like the Prius at all," said Nobuki Ebisawa, managing director at Honda R&D Co., Honda Motor Co.'s research unit. "There may be some similarities in the roof line, but it is clearly different."

Ebisawa acknowledged considerations for maximizing aerodynamics and placing the hybrid system of electric motor and gas engine may make for similar styling in hybrids cars.

Any similarities between the Prius and Insight are coincidence, he said.

Pronunciation device ..gas-and-electric-powered car.. examination

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport started the examination that the gas-and-electric-powered car that hardly heard something in low speed to move by the motor is equipped with the device that sounded the alarm because of a sound that was smaller than the horn.

"Eco-tax reduction" is ..gas-and-electric-powered car.. good in the fair wind sales. It was judged that it was not safely substituted though "Quietness" was a merit.
"Quietness and danger" of the gas-and-electric-powered car becomes a problem also in foreign countries. The Ministry of Transport in the United States also receives the request of the visually handicapped person group etc. and the investigation begins. It becomes an examination problem also in the car standard harmony world forum of the United Nations. Only the world was not led with HV, there were a lot of dangerous, narrow alleys, and correspondence was urged on Japan.
For instance, when starting and low-speed running, the gas-and-electric-powered car of Toyota Motor starts only by an electric motor. As much as 20 decibels or less of the noise are also lower than that of the engine car, it lacks in the residential area because of a usual life sound, and it is erased. It is said that the complaint and about 60 opinions such as "It wants to approach by the car while it doesn't know and is [ha] and to be making" were sent to Toyota etc. in year of 3?4.

In the other investigation of Toyota, the playing child felt whether the pedestrian who did not notice ..*.. suddenly entered the course in * parking lot where the person who was talking standing in the presence of the car did not retreat even if the driver tried also to start, and the pronunciation device about 70 percent thought it was necessary.
The gas-and-electric-powered car from which "Chime sound" always rings while running is made to start for 07 years in this company and the effect is verified. There were a lot of opinions with "The sound is unpleasant" though a constant effect was seen, too. There was a point with "It was not thought that it was a car though it heard of the sound" from the visually handicapped person, too.
The engine operates even if it is low-speed because the method is different from Toyota though Honda also is producing the incite of the gas-and-electric-powered car. This company assumes, "It is necessary to advance development while dealing with the problem of silence in the future" though the problem has not occurred at present.
The diplomatic relation ministry started up the study committee that gathered the specialist and the person related to the industry this month. It pursues the subject in the direction equipped with "The second horn" that emits a moderate sound when the driver felt danger and when it starts. However, there is a possibility that driver's "Forget to sound" develops into liability issues, and is an opinion with "It is necessary to emit the sound always automatically".
All electric vehicles that run by the motor are contained in the object of equipment, too. The sound is verified by the buzzer, the melody, and the pseudoengine sound's, etc. besides the chime using the experiment car as a candidate in August. Directionality will be shown about the kind and the union standard making etc. of making the device an obligation by the law and the sound within the year.
