Chapter 281: Ajisen Ramen
"Tony, let's try the most authentic Kumamoto Ajisen ramen, this first branch in Tokyo hasn't opened yet, and this is the first one we have eaten in Tokyo!" Sakurai said enthusiastically.
At that time, Ajisen ramen was said to have nearly 400 branches around the world, but now he knows that Ajisen ramen was founded in 1968, and the birthplace is Kumamoto. This Ajisen ramen is really different, especially this Senmi noodle, it's amazing! ”
Sakurai said proudly, "That is, this Ajisen ramen actually belongs to the genre of tonkotsu ramen, which is made using the aseptic steam technology of a unique secret ingredient, so it is very fresh, smooth and springy." The most special is the soup, which is made of pork bones and deep-sea fish bones simmered and refined, which is milky white, and then added to the soup with 8 different ingredients. The soup is also rich in "chondroitin", which has a super calcium supplementation effect.
In particular, this seasoning called "Senmi Powder" is why it is called "Ajisen", and it is also hoped that ramen will be able to change a thousand flavors. In addition, there are special condiments, such as garlic crisp, scallion crisp, chili sauce, etc., which provide a variety of personalized flavors. ”
Tang Ning laughed and said, "Brother Sakurai, I feel like you can advertise this Ajisen ramen." ”
Sakurai said unconvinced: "You still talk about me, and you don't look at yourself." I'm an authentic American, but I like noodle soup the most, just like us Japanese, and I remember you Americans don't like pasta the most. ”
Tang Ning took a bite of noodles, and then said, "That's if I haven't eaten Oriental food, otherwise who would want to eat those bread and jam barbecue." All right. Let's get down to business, what's the matter with you looking for me this time? ”
Sakurai pushed over a file bag and said, "Tony, how about you look at this book." ”
Downing took two sips of the soup, then opened the file bag and began to flip through the script. Obviously, this script is based on the most prestigious Hirofumi Omatsu in Japanese sports in the past two years and the brilliant record of the Japanese women's volleyball team he led.
Speaking of this Omatsu blog post. A very remarkable guy indeed. He was born on February 12, 1921, in Xiangne Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from Kanto University, he joined Niboku Corporation, and was conscripted into the army on the eve of the end of World War II, and went to fight in the jungles of New Guinea. In 1953, Omatsu became the head coach of the Nippon women's volleyball team, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with volleyball.
During the Nippon Textile period, Hirofumi Omatsu began to use high-intensity, high-density training methods. As an amateur team, the girls of the Nippon Kaizuka team work 8 hours. 8 hours of training, 8 hours of rest. In the closed training hall, Hirofumi Omatsu mercilessly smashed the volleyballs at the players one by one. The girls pounced back and forth, rolled, got up, rolled, got up, until they were exhausted. Fall to the ground and get up.?
That's it, under the training of "Devil Big Song". A high-level women's volleyball team with excellent offense and defense has risen. The success of the Nippon women's volleyball team allowed Hirofumi Omatsu to become the head coach of the Japanese women's national volleyball team, and in the 60s, the most powerful team in the world women's volleyball was the Soviet team. The Soviet players were all tall and big, and they had an absolute advantage in both attack and defense as a whole. In contrast, the Japanese team lacks a height advantage. It's hard to compete with your opponents online.?
From February 1961, Coach Omatsu began to train the Japanese team at a "hellish" intensity, and he was called "Devil's Coach" by the players in awe. Because of the intensity of the training, it once provoked an outcry from the labor organization, and the outside world also reacted to him greatly. Even if the Japanese team later won the runner-up in the World Championships. No one went to the airport to greet Omatsu, who smashed the runner-up trophy in a fit of rage and vowed to win the championship.
In 1961, the Nippon Textile Team, which consisted of setters Masae Kawanishi, Mitsue Masuo, Keiko Miyamoto, Yuriko Handa and other players, went on an expedition to Europe and achieved an astonishing record of 24 consecutive victories and became famous. The European media exclaimed that they were "Oriental Typhoons" and "Oriental Witches".
In 1962, at the World Championships in Moscow, the Japanese team, led by Coach Omatsu, defeated the Soviet Union 3-1 to win the world championship. The fame of the "Oriental Witch" spread all over the world, and the "Devil Coach" and his team became Japan's national heroes. The climax came at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. This was the year that volleyball was included as an official Olympic sport for the first time. On October 23, when the women's volleyball final against the Soviet team was played, there were thousands of people in Tokyo. Under the command of Coach Omatsu, the Japanese team finally defeated a strong opponent. The match was the most watched in Japan. When the world praised Omatsu's training methods as a miracle in the world of sports, he said, "If you want to be the best in the world, you must have the most rigorous training in the world." Mentors must lead by example and overcome themselves. ”?
In order to defeat the Soviet team, which had obvious physical advantages, Hirofumi Omatsu invented the tumbling cushion ball to strengthen the defense, and at the same time invented techniques such as the hook hand float. And let Masae Kawanishi, the tallest in the team at that time, be the main setter, which caused a lot of controversy at the time, but Hirofumi Omatsu stuck to his tactics and eventually succeeded.
After reading the script, Tang Ning nodded and said: "Well, it's a very good idea, now the Japanese women's volleyball team is the most popular time, just relying on this gimmick, the box office of the movie is not bad." ”
Unexpectedly, Sakurai shook his head and said: "Tony, you misunderstood, I didn't make this film just for money, but also to promote Coach Omatsu's self-defeating spirit that if you want to be the best in the world, you must train the most rigorously in the world, I think it is worth learning from all the people of the Yamato nation!" ”
Tang Ning laughed and said: "You can do it, but I think that now the people of the Yamato nation, especially the young students, what they need most is not this spirit of overcoming all difficulties and overcoming themselves, but to find the right direction of struggle, their current direction has been biased, and if they continue to go on with all difficulties in this way, they can only go further and further apathy!" ”
PS: In fact, the glory of the Chinese women's volleyball team in the 80s is also related to this coach Hirofumi Omatsu, who came to China three times from 1964 to 1965 to conduct training camps for the Chinese women's volleyball team! (To be continued.) )
