Good day everyone. I had a nice evening where I get some writing done last night and fell asleep on the couch....
Hmmm on the TOTD, I am on shaky ground here for am not familiar with Japanese cuisine and cinema.
I have seen a few Japanese films such as Akira Kurosawa's film Ran and a couple of Godzilla ones. I found Ran to be interesting and I enjoyed it.
I also remember a telemovie many years ago, about a tragic part of US history during World War II when Japanese-Americans were sent to Internment camps on the west coast and as far inland as North Dakota and Minnesota. I remember vaguely seeing a film called
Farewell to Manzanar. I had to read the book some years later for an American History survey course. My professor for the class, Mr. H. Lee, was of Japanese and Korean descent. A very fascinating individual and I learned a lot about the cold war and Asian history from him. Quite the character also

I am not familiar with Japanese actors but I hope Japanese-Americans are acceptable. I really enjoyed watching the work of the late Pat Morita even though I thought some of the material given to him was less than worthy of his talent.
I also enjoy George Takei from Star Trek. A fascinating man. His book was rather interesting.
Matter of fact ND and MN also had POW camps but that is a subject for another day.
