Japan embraces global cuisines in 'washoku' culture
Japanese cuisine has never been as popular around the world as it is now. Sushi is available in the most unexpected places, and dishes like tempura, sashimi and teriyaki can be readily found, too. Japan itself is recognized as a mecca for great cuisine from all parts of the world, with the Michelin Red Guide awarding Tokyo more stars than any other city it surveys. The dedicated and enthusiastic diners of Japan's capital have attracted major international food franchises and famed chefs, who have opened branches of their establishments there at an ever-increasing rate in recent years.

Kinki University leads way in aquaculture evolution
Tuna has been popular, especially as sushi, among the Japanese for many centuries. But as the popularity of Japanese food has continued to rise throughout the world, the supply of tuna is now considered to be reaching the point of depletion. This is especially true for northern bluefin tuna, which has been highly praised for its delicate taste and thus has been overfished in recent years.

Milan's diverse tourist allure
Milan, the capital of Lombardy, has captured the interest of the world with its dynamism, creativity and innovation. The world exposition has only been held in Italy once before, back in 1906, and even then the city chosen was Milan. At that time, the theme was transport, which was celebrated by the inauguration of the Milan-Paris railway line. More than a century later, the universal exposition has returned to Italy, once again in the city of Milan. The city, which is the second-most populous in Italy today, is opening its doors to the world. In addition to visiting the expo site, travelers should take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy the historic city, which is a major world fashion and design center and home to beautiful architecture and art masterpieces.
