Osumoji -Tsukasa no Ikkan-




Bad thought

In Japan it is a male‐dominated society.It is generally believed that a sushi world is male-dominated.There is a reason for it.Generally speaking, women has higher temperature than men.Therefore it is thought that sushi becomes bad when a woman makes sushi.There are not the scientific grounds at all.It is a bad thought in the world of just the Japanese food.
