Japanese-Peruvian fusion restaurant in Lima named world's best
A restaurant in Peru's capital owned by a chef of Japanese descent has topped the list of the world's 50 best restaurants for 2025, the ranking's publisher said, praising the Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine for incorporating Amazonian flavors. Named after a Japanese phrase used to greet people, "Maido," the restaurant operated by head chef and owner Mitsuharu "Micha" Tsumura, is "a masterclass in Nikkei cuisine, blending meticulous Japanese techniques with vibrant Peruvian ingredients to create a dining experience that is both culturally rich and innovatively modern," the 50 Best organization said in a press release. Tsumura, born in Lima, opened Maido there in 2009 when he was 28 years old. He completed a culinary arts program in the United States and made a trip to Osaka to specialize in Japanese cuisine, it said. The chef-restaurateur's ancestors migrated to Peru from Japan. Japanese immigration to Peru dates back to 1899, and Peru is home to the second-largest Japanese community in Latin America after Brazil. Receiving the honor at The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 event held Thursday in Turin, Italy, Tsumura was quoted as saying, "I can't describe it in words, really." "It's a mix of the hard work, all the difficult moments, making people understand what we were doing, and now seeing what we've done with Nikkei cuisine and Peruvian hospitality," he said on the list's official website. "Making people happy has always been what I've loved doing." The restaurant has regularly finished within the top 10 of the list, ranking fifth in 2024. This year, four restaurants in Japan were named on the list. Neo-French eatery Sezanne, located in a Four Seasons hotel in Tokyo, ranked highest among them in seventh. The World's 50 Best Restaurants was created in 2002 by a British magazine. The list is created from the votes of international restaurant industry experts. © KYODO

Joint venture for Japan-Britain-Italy fighter jet project launched
Companies from Japan, Britain and Italy have announced the official launch of a joint venture to develop a next-generation fighter jet by 2035, appointing its first CEO from major Italian defense firm Leonardo S.p.A. Japan Aircraft Industrial Enhancement Co -- set up by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd and an aerospace industry group -- along with Britain's BAE Systems plc and Leonardo each holds a 33.3 percent share in the joint venture named Edgewing. Headquartered in Britain, Edgewing will design and develop the combat aircraft. It will play a central role in achieving the program's goals, including having the fighter in service by 2035, the companies said. "We are not only delivering the next-generation combat air system -- we aim to set a new global standard for partnership, innovation and trust," Edgewing CEO Marco Zoff, formerly managing director of Leonardo Aircraft Division, said in a statement on Friday. The Global Combat Air Program was announced in 2022 as Japan and the European countries moved to strengthen security cooperation in response to China's increasing military activities in the Indo-Pacific region and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. An international body to manage the program on behalf of the participating nations, the GCAP International Government Organization, was launched in December last year, also in Britain. Masami Oka, head of the organization and formerly a senior Japanese Defense Ministry official, said in the statement that he welcomed the launch of Edgewing, adding that "effective and empowered collaboration" between his organization and Edgewing will be critical to the success of GCAP. © KYODO

Ghibli anime art greeting cards are a canvas to tell friends and family how and why you care【Pics】
Studio Ghibli supplies the watercolor art, leaves the message up to you. In Japan, most greeting cards don't come with lengthy pre-written messages. Instead of preparing a declaration of laser-focused sentiment for you, like 'Grandma is so proud that you're graduating from middle school!', Japanese greeting cards tend to keep things short and broad. They might have a simple 'Happy birthday,' 'Congratulations,' or 'Thank you,' but generally the idea is that you'll supply the message yourself, with the card being something to please the eye and set the mood while you express your feelings in your own words. That brings us to this line of gorgeous Ghibli greeting cards. Each of them features a beautiful watercolor painting of characters or settings from the anime studio's beloved films on the front, but is blank inside, leaving it to you to tell the person you're sending it to why you chose this piece of artwork while thinking of them. Totoro, no surprise, is featured multiple times in the line. The scene of him traipsing through the tall grass with a leafy parasol is a great pick if you're following the Japanese custom of sending cards in summer to check in on friends and family and see how they're handling the heat… …as is the card depicting this nighttime ocarina concert. The good-times-with-good-folks vibes of these paintings make them an apt choice for sending to old friends you're looking forward to seeing again, even if you don't have any concrete plans in the near future… …and if you're the type that likes to plan ahead, for a fellow fan this card is practically a Christmas gift in and of itself. Since this Spirited Away card shows Chihiro's parents still under the curse that's transformed them into pigs, it's hard to say whether or not your own mom and dad would appreciate it, or if it's better to save it for a friend… …but this illustration of the approach to the bathhouse of the gods is one any fan of the movie will enjoy (as evidenced by the fact that it's the only design in the series that's currently sold out). We saw a peek of Princess Mononoke's Ashitaka earlier… …but he's got a second card too… …and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind strikes a similarly dramatic, determined pose. Castle in the Sky/Laputa's Pazu swooping in to rescue Sheeta works for both romantic gestures and friendly 'I'm here if you need me' reminders… …and finally, rounding things out is a much more relaxed aviation image, courtesy of Porco Rosso's flying boat. As an added bonus, the cards come with a special envelope bearing the Studio Ghibli logo with Totoro in profile, the same way he appears at the start of the studio's movies. And while technically these are all meant to be put in the mail or handed off to someone else, they also make excellent 24 x 15.8-centimeter (9.4 x 6.2-inch) mini posters that you can arrange in whatever array you want on your wall or on your desk. The cards are priced at 550 yen (US$3.80) each and, with the exception of the Spirited Away bathhouse design, are all available now through the online shop of Ghibli specialty shop Donguri Kyowakoku here thanks to a recent restock.
