May in Japanese is <em>\u7690\u6708<\/em><em>, <\/em>pronounced \u2018<em>Satsuki<\/em>\u2019, meaning \u201cthe time to plant rice seedlings\u201d. <em>Satsuki<\/em> is a wonderful example of how the meanings behind the name of each month in Japan are connected to the seasons and the events. While some months have a more metaphoric interpretation, May is a literal translation. Another unique tidbit about <em>Satsuki<\/em> is that it\u2019s a common name in Japan for girls.<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Natto<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Natto<\/em> is a fermented soybean, but don\u2019t let that deter you from trying it. It is one of the best sources of protein and is filled with rich nutrients that are said to prevent blood coagulation, enrich skin and balance cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Natto-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-267\" title=\"Natto\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Natto-1.jpg\" width=\"292\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a>The process of making <em>natto<\/em> is very unique. After the beans are washed and soaked for about half a day, they go through a steaming process. From there the beans are mixed with a bacteria culture\u2013 this is similar to how certain yogurts and cheeses are made. The total fermentation process of aging the <em>natto<\/em> bacteria takes up to 24 hours. Then it is placed in a refrigerator to be cooled.<\/p>\n<p><em>Natto<\/em> has a very unique texture almost like a sticky paste, and a strong scent and flavor due to the fermentation process. It is a common breakfast item in Japan \u2013 usually eaten with rice \u2013 that is often consumed in a small, white container with yellow mustard and <em>natto<\/em> sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Art of<em> Sumo<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Sumo<\/em> is known throughout the world for its wrestlers engaging in a full-contact physical sport, and is one of the few sports that are professionally practiced only in Japan. So what is <em>sumo<\/em>? It is a wrestling match consisting of two large men facing off in a round ring, called <em>d<\/em><em>ohyo<\/em>, with the objective to force the opponent outside of the ring. Wrestlers are not allowed to touch any of his body part to the ground except for their feet.<\/p>\n<p>With its long history, several elements of traditional Japanese culture and customs remain within the art of <em>sumo<\/em>. The most noticeable is the outfit. During the match, <em>rikishi<\/em> (wrestlers) wear his hair in a topknot, while the <em>gyoji<\/em> (referee) wears a silk outfit resembling the style of <em>samurai<\/em> during the <em>Edo<\/em> period (1603-1868). Prior to the match, <em>rikishi<\/em> throw salt into the ring as a form of purification, as the <em>dohyo<\/em> is considered a sacred place \u2013 much like the ritual of salt purification within the <em>Shinto<\/em> religion.<\/p>\n<p>The life of a <em>sumo<\/em> wrestler is quite interesting. They live in a communal living environment called <em>heya<\/em> which are \u201ctraining stables\u201d, along with their trainers and assistants that help them with everything outside the ring &#8211; from tying their hair into topknots to preparing their wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p>Practice begins at 5am and ends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Chanko-Nabe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-258\" title=\"Chanko Nabe\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Chanko-Nabe.jpg\" width=\"292\" height=\"198\" \/><\/a>before noon.
