Get Stuck In; Forget Diets!

Have you ever heard of "Shogun"? We went to a Japanese buffet restaurant located at One Utama, New Wing where we get to indulge in variety of Japanese cuisine. Pay at the entrance and foods is all yours! No worries, the price per head at a really reasonable price.

* Restaurant: Shogun
* Location: Level 2 New Wing, One Utama
* Price Range per head (lunch): Adult RM 50++

Price may change without prior notice.

A group of staffs who welcomed us made us feel the warm atmosphere. As soon as we reached in the restaurant, we took a walk around. The restaurant was quite huge, estimated 150 tables included 350 people. Foods looks really tempting.

While heading to our reserved table, I can see a few Korean ladies in front of us (because I heard they spoke Korea =p) and a few English men (because they're blond =D) behind us.

And let's check them out! I try my best to name the foods I took!

Japan holds diaper fashion show for adults

TOKYO -Japan is known as one of the world's most rapidly aging societies, and the fashion show on Thursday proved the country's diaper producers are intent on keeping the elderly clean and dry.


Before the models took over, players at the theater in downtown Tokyo acted out skits instructing viewers how to tell when elderly loved ones need diapers, how to convince them to put them on and how to properly use them. In one skit, an elderly man shook his head in dismay after his wife pointed out that he wet the bed overnight again.

The crowd of several hundred people included diaper manufacturers, nursing home workers and doctors. Like many events in Japan, the show was heavy on detailed information, showing how certain types of diapers suit the bedridden, such as models that can be wrapped around the midsection. Pants-like slip-on diapers, on the other hand, are more suitable for active oldsters.

It means a booming market for adult diapers! Indeed, adult diapers are an increasingly common item in Japan, home to one of the world's longest average lifespans. More than 20 percent of the population is over 65, and the country is forecast to have the globe's largest number of centenarians , 1 million , by 2050, the U.N. says.

"A lot of people make mistakes when choosing diapers," said Hamada. "We can make it so people no longer feel uneasy about taking care of old people."

"It was great to see so many different types of diapers all in one showing," gushed Aya Habuka, 26. "I learned a lot. This is the first time that diapers are being considered as fashion."

The Nikkei, Japan's leading business newspaper, conducted a survey this week that showed sales of adult diapers have more than doubled over the past decade, reaching an estimated 52.5 billion yen ($500 million) this year.

Coffee May Lower Risk of Uterus Cancer for Women

Women who drink a lot of coffee may have less risk of developing cancer of the uterus, a Japanese study said Monday.


The study led by Japan's health ministry monitored some 54,000 women aged 40 to 69 over about 15 years, during which time 117 women developed cancer in the womb, according to the medical team.

The researchers at Japan's National Cancer Center divided the women into four groups by the amount of coffee they drank.

They found the group of women who drank more than three cups of coffee every day were more than 60 percent less likely to develop uterine cancer than those who had coffee fewer than two times a week, the study said.

"Coffee may have effects in lowering insulin levels, possibly curbing the risks of developing womb cancer," the study said.

The medical team also studied the effects of drinking green tea, but did not find any link to uterine cancer.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control, uterine cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women.
