Honke Daiichi Asahi: Decades of Kyoto's Shōyu Ramen History in Shinjuku and Jinbōchō
The Ever-Evolving Culture of Ramen Honke Daiichi Asahi: Decades of Kyoto's Shōyu Ramen History in Shinjuku and Jinbōchō The traditional Kyō-ryōri cuisine of Japan's ancient capital relies on delicate dashi flavors, but the prefecture's take on ramen relies instead on a more muscular shōyu broth. Honke Daiichi Asahi, in business in Kyoto since soon after the war, has brought its famed dishes to two locations in Tokyo for ramen fans. English 日本語 简体字 繁體字 Français Español العربية Русский The Char Siu Men at Honke Daiichi Asahi is based on a 100% tonkotsu pork-bone broth, but still has a surprisingly light aftertaste. The medium-thickness straight noodles have the perfect firmness, and the bowl is perfectly accented by moist, tender char siu pork, crisp bean sprouts, and aromatic Kyoto-grown kujōnegi scallions. It is a bowl that begs to be drained to the last drop.

Kaku Masayoshi Misen: Nagoya's Addictively Fiery Taiwan Ramen in Kanda and Shinbashi
The Ever-Evolving Culture of Ramen Kaku Masayoshi Misen: Nagoya's Addictively Fiery Taiwan Ramen in Kanda and Shinbashi Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, is home to an original 'Taiwan-style' take on ramen that has come to several locations in Tokyo via the restaurant Misen. One of the spicier styles on our list. English 日本語 简体字 繁體字 Français Español العربية Русский Nagoya's Taiwan-style ramen combines slow-stewed chicken broth with coarsely chopped chili peppers and plenty of garlic. Ground beef umami infuses the broth, as well, and the expansive flavor is habit-forming. In addition to ramen, the shop offers various small sides, and spreading a few out on the table along with some bottles of beer recreates the feel of a Taiwan night market.

Dr Étienne-Émile Baulieu, French scientist behind abortion pill, dead at 98
Dr Baulieu, the French scientist who developed the abortion pill and spent decades defending women's reproductive rights, has died at 98, leaving behind a legacy of scientific courage Manikant Mishra New Delhi The French scientist who pioneered the abortion pill has passed away at the age of 98. Dr Étienne-Émile Baulieu, the man behind the development of the oral drug RU-486, commonly known as mifepristone, took his last breath at his home in Paris on Friday, his wife confirmed. The pill has given millions of women worldwide a safe, affordable alternative to surgical abortion. He is survived by his wife, Simone Harari Baulieu. "His research was guided by his commitment to progress through science, his dedication to women's freedom, and his desire to enable everyone to live better and longer lives," she said. President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute, describing Dr Baulieu as "a beacon of courage" and "a progressive mind who enabled women to win their freedom." In a post on X, Macron wrote, "Few French people have changed the world to such an extent." Peu de Français ont à ce point changé le monde. Résistant, génie de la recherche, défenseur de la contraception, inventeur d'une pilule abortive, Étienne-Emile Baulieu fut un esprit de progrès qui permit aux femmes de conquérir leur liberté. Nous perdons un éclaireur de courage. — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) May 30, 2025 France's gender equality minister, Aurore Berge, also praised him in her post on X, saying he was "guided throughout his life by one requirement: that of human dignity." Dr Baulieu was born Étienne Blum to Jewish parents on 12 December 1926 in Strasbourg. At the age of 15, he changed his name to join the French resistance during the Nazi occupation. After completing his studies, he went to the United States, where he worked with Dr Gregory Pincus, known as the father of the contraceptive pill. Dr Pincus encouraged Dr Baulieu to focus on sex hormones. Returning to France, Dr Baulieu developed a way to block progesterone, a hormone vital for a fertilised egg to implant in the uterus. This breakthrough led to the creation of the abortion pill, which was completed within a decade. Following this achievement, Dr Baulieu fought for years to get governments around the world to approve the drug, refusing to back down even in the face of harsh criticism and threats from anti-abortion groups. When the pill was authorised for sale in 1988, it encountered strong backlash in both Europe and the US, and continues to face resistance in many parts of the world due to cultural and religious sensitivities. Though more than 100 countries have approved mifepristone, its access remains tightly controlled in places like the US. Some anti-abortion activists have more recently described abortion medication as "chemical abortion," claiming it is unsafe despite repeated reassurance from medical experts that the drug is safe to use. Since the FDA approved the pill in 2000, there have been 36 deaths linked to mifepristone, which is roughly 0.65 deaths per 100,000 medication abortions. In contrast, regular aspirin use is linked to about 15.3 deaths per 100,000 users. After a long battle, the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2010 finally listed mifepristone as an essential medicine. When Wyoming became the first US state to ban the abortion pill in 2023, Dr Baulieu remarked that he had devoted much of his life to expanding "the freedom of women," and said such bans were a step backwards. More recently, he had been working on treatments to prevent Alzheimer's disease and severe depression.

The country that made smoking sexy is breaking up with cigarettes
PARIS -- PARIS (AP) — Brigitte Bardot lounged barefoot on a Saint-Tropez beach, drawing languorous puffs from her cigarette. Another actor, Jean-Paul Belmondo, swaggered down the Champs-Élysées with smoke curling from his defiant lips, capturing a generation's restless rebellion. In France, cigarettes were never just cigarettes — they were cinematic statements, flirtations and rebellions wrapped in rolling paper. Yet beginning July 1, if Bardot and Belmondo's iconic film scenes were repeated in real life, they would be subject to up to €135 ($153) in fines. After glamorizing tobacco for decades, France is preparing for its most sweeping smoking ban yet. The new restrictions, announced by Health Minister Catherine Vautrin, will outlaw smoking in virtually all outdoor public areas where children may gather, including beaches, parks, gardens, playgrounds, sports venues, school entrances and bus stops. 'Tobacco must disappear where there are children,' Vautrin told French media. The freedom to smoke 'stops where children's right to breathe clean air starts." France will ban smoking on all beaches, in public parks, forests and some other public areas as part of a national anti-tobacco plan presented by the health minister on Tuesday. Tobacco products cause 75,000 avoidable deaths a year in France, Minister of Health and Prevention Aurélien Rousseau said on BFM television. The government will introduce legislation at the start of next year to enlarge the scope of places where fines can be levied for smoking, he said. 'Beaches, parks, around schools -– lots of places had started these experiments and now, it's true, we're heading to a general rule to show our determination,' he said. Legislators also intend to outlaw single-use disposable e-cigarettes, with an initial vote on a draft law to ban them expected in the National Assembly next month.

All Rights Reserved. twitter instagram facebook notification icon">public health priorities, it also signals a deeper cultural shift. Smoking has defined identity, fashion and cinema here for so long that the new measure feels like a quiet French revolution in a country whose relationship with tobacco is famously complex. According to France's League Against Cancer, over 90 percent of French films from 2015 to 2019 featured smoking scenes — more than double the rate in Hollywood productions. Each French movie averaged nearly three minutes of on-screen smoking, effectively the same exposure as six 30-second television ads. Cinema has been particularly influential. Belmondo's rebellious smoker in Jean-Luc Godard 's 'Breathless' became shorthand for youthful defiance worldwide. Bardot's cigarette smoke wafted through 'And God Created Woman,' symbolizing unbridled sensuality. Yet this glamorization has consequences. According to France's public health authorities, around 75,000 people die from tobacco-related illnesses each year. Although smoking rates have dipped recently — fewer than 25% of French adults now smoke daily, a historic low — the habit remains stubbornly embedded, especially among young people and the urban chic. France's relationship with tobacco has long been fraught with contradiction. Air France did not ban smoking on all its flights until 2000, years after major U.S. carriers began phasing it out in the late 1980s and early '90s. The delay reflected a country slower to sever its cultural romance with cigarettes, even at 35,000 feet. Strolling through the stylish streets of Le Marais, the trendiest neighborhood in Paris, reactions to the smoking ban ranged from pragmatic acceptance to nostalgic defiance. 'It's about time. I don't want my kids growing up thinking smoke is romantic,' said Clémence Laurent, a 34-year-old fashion buyer, sipping espresso at a crowded café terrace. 'Sure, Bardot made cigarettes seem glamorous. But Bardot didn't worry about today's warnings on lung cancer.' At a nearby boutique, vintage dealer Luc Baudry, 53, saw the ban as an attack on something essentially French. 'Smoking has always been part of our culture. Take away cigarettes and what do we have left? Kale smoothies?' he scoffed. Across from him, 72-year-old Jeanne Lévy chuckled throatily, her voice deeply etched — she said — by decades of Gauloises. 'I smoked my first cigarette watching Jeanne Moreau,' she confessed, eyes twinkling behind vintage sunglasses. 'It was her voice — smoky, sexy, lived-in. Who didn't want that voice?' Indeed, Jeanne Moreau's gravelly, nicotine-scraped voice transformed tobacco into poetry itself, immortalized in classics such as François Truffaut's 'Jules et Jim.' Smoking acquired an existential glamour that made quitting unimaginable for generations of French smokers. France's new law mirrors broader European trends. Britain, Spain and Sweden have all implemented significant smoking bans in public spaces. Sweden outlawed smoking in outdoor restaurant terraces, bus stops and schoolyards back in 2019. Spain extended its bans to café terraces, spaces still exempt in France—at least for now. an electronic cigarette that is still exempt from the new ban and shrugged.
