Joe Ohori, Gen. Manager of Kikkoman, Says "Shoyu" Will "Show You" Flavor
By JOANNE McCRIE
(Etobicoke Consumer)

TORONTO. — A 350-y ear-old
firm, Kikkoman, has come out
with a cookbook which presents
one way to better1 flavor.
It is due to a Japanese prod­
ucts called shoyu.

Joe Ohori says shoyu shows
you the way (and that’s how it’s

pronounced — show you).
To
westerners, it’s a type of
soy
sauce.
Ohori says he has a Canadian
neighbor who puts
Kikkoman
shoyu on his spaghetti. His da­
ughter-puts it on her salads. Lo­
uis XIV of France used it in
his sumptuous dinners and the
Japanese Imperial family, uses
it. A well-known Canadian perso

nality also endorses Kikkoman’s
shoyu •— Margaret Trudeau.
(Besides adding flavor to-fish,
vegetable, fowl and meat dishes,
shoyu has been used as a heart
stimulant and as a positive fac­
tor in diet control. ' Ohori says Weight Watchers,
Diet Workshop and Counterwe­
ight recognize Kikkoman’s shoyu as beneficial to dieters beca-

use of its high protein content
and low calorie: count. The soy
sauce ■ provides spicefree flavor
enhancement plus essential pro­
teins and amino acids.
The product is maae
from
high quality soy beans, wheat,
salt and water,’ and is brewed for
nine months. It used to take 18
months, says Ohori, and
only
the wealthy were able to. afford

it.
A story he tells of very early
days recounts how it was disco­
vered when the Japanese lived
by the sea shore, and caught fish
as a food. They also were hun­
ters, and when their catch was
too much to consume immediate­
ly, or meat was left over, they
buried it in the sand.

TORONTO. — Roy Tsuji was momentarily stunned by the
question. But after considering its implications, he raised his eyes
from the table, looked at the interviewer and gave an emphatic
“yes.”
y
Hideo Takahashi,'also a Nisei but a little older than Tsuji,
had 'thought he had purged memories of those bitter experiences
iii the 1940’s. But he too bared his soul, quite surprised that any­
one would be interested after all these years, and also gave a
well-considered “yes” to the question.
For both men, it was a brief but emotional moment, like
trying to recount a-terrible -experience from the past. But their
feelings flooded out, when prodded by a member of the younger
generation.

In this instance, it was a Sansei. The question asked was
about the evacuation and the detention. Specifically, they were
asked if they would support a campaign to recover the huge
losses, the Japanese Canadian community suffered as a result of
the 1942 detention.
,

Roy Tsuji: had seen how his father was forced Io uproot
the family,, and submit' to laborious work
on an Albertai beat
farm at ridiculous wages.
“h was slave labour, nothing less,” Tsuji recalled. “It was
hard, forced labour. We had no choice and we had to work for
peanuts.” Asked why he would support a campaign for compensation,
he said, “to recover my pride and dignity.”
Hideo Takahashi had an even stronger reason for justice.
He was put in a prisoner of war camp fpr the duration of the
war in Angler, Ontario. He was never charged, he was never
told why he was imprisoned and he was never compensated for
that gross violation of his human and civil rights.
His one mistake, if it was one, was that he worked for the
Japanese Consulate in Vancouver before the war. B.C. authoriti­
es never considered the fact that most Japanese Canadian males
were virtually locked out of mainstream professions and insti­
tutions, because of virulent racism and prejudice in the provin­
ce for most of the prewar period.
'
Takahashi was eventually relased after the war and allowed
to go south into Ontario, and not back to B.C., but he was ne­
ver given fare to cover even his bare expenses, nor the cost
such
to bring his family across Canada to Toronto.

on a'fund drive in order to continue to bring our programs, and
service to you. One of the many giving this' project a shot in
the arm is none other than our “Uncle” Charlie Ogaki.
“The Ogaki family' is pretty big, but it sure seems Char­
lie’s got more than his fair share of nieces and, nephews. We’re
not all really related to. him, but Uncle Charlie doesn’t mind
us hanging around.”
Next to Eleanor, who’s a super lady in her own right, and
their son’ Glen, (Charlie’s got two loves. Young people (pre-pubescent, pubescent, and even post-pubescent), and making mo­
ney. Nobody can make a buck like Uncle (Charlie, but don’t get
j as wrong. He likes to make money to help other people. He li­
kes making money for the community, for the Cultural Centre, the
.Centre’s . land project, the Centennial. His money-making sche­
mes, the bingos and Monte Carlos are real winners, and big
1 pleasers.
iSo when we heard he got it in his head to help the Annex
Fund Drive, we were really excited. First, it was our share
of the money, and second, as we rah around finding Sansei vo­
lunteers, it was the opportunity to get a first-hand experience
at helping to run a Monte Carlo. Due to some unfortunate com­
plications our Mon;te Carlo had to - be cancelled. Thanks any> ways Charlie.

As indeed, on some level, are
most plays, are .most works of
art. The difference, however, is
that the unavoidable “message”
is usually not all of the play — I
something timeless and
hencej

true, and hence (and here is the
leap into faith which art. requi­
res) good, is also visible and so­
metimes (as in iShakespeare) be­
comes the true theme of play.

For--a closer parallel to Mishi­
ma one must turn to an entirely
different playwright — someone
like Gabriele D’Annunzio (a wri­
ter Mishima admired enough to
translate — that long psychodrama on St. Sebastian).
The
Italian symbolist loved the acti­
ve life, adored “spiritual purity”
got involved in the military, was
quite quixotically implicated in
politics. His T1 Fuoco” (Flame
of Life) and “Francesca da Ri­
mini” are now, I should guess,
quite unreadable, and yet D‘Annnunzio * remains unforgettable.
The anecdote of his life Has sup­
erseded all and as a flamboyant
romantic hero — Byron without
the talent, Baudelaire
without
the doubts — he continues to

be able to sleep, satisfied . '. like
the soldiers who’ve been to bro­
thels. . . '(And, later) Iron. . .
