The price of small eel seed alone has reached $35,000/kg in January 2018 (about more than VND800 million/kg) – as expensive as gold at the same time. Not only that, the price of eel increases 2 or 3 times every year. In the previous article, we found out why Japanese eel is so expensive (See ). This article will delve into the cooking method of Japanese grilled eel (Kabayaki) – one of the reasons why the value of eel is greatly increased. Grilling eel seems to be an easy job, but for Japanese chefs, it takes years of practice. First, the fresh eels will be put on the cutting board by the chef, who will pin the eel’s head in place with a removable metal pin. Eel pecking is a skill that takes 8 years to learn. Photo: Tofugu Then the eel will be dissected in the Kansai style (cut open the belly but not cut off the head, leave the slices and then grilled) or the Kanto style (cut open the abdomen but cut the head, divide it into small pieces, and then put it back together to bake). The backbone of the eel will also be removed in this step, just learning to peck the eel in these two styles alone will take up to 8 years of apprenticeship! Next is to thread the eel before it is grilled (it takes another 3 years to learn), the cook will have to use metal sharp sticks to pierce the very thin slices of eel meat. This requires dexterity and finesse of the hands. Eel threading is also a skill that takes up to 3 years of apprenticeship. Photo: The Japan Times Finally, bring the eel to the grill, according to long-time chefs, after 11 years of learning to cut the eel and string it together before grilling, it will take… a lifetime to master the skill. this. The griller will have to grill the soft, golden and shiny pieces of eel with the crispy texture that has made the name and attraction in the cuisine of the Kansai region (Osaka) – Japan. To do this, the cook will spread the eel pieces with a little mirin (a rice wine similar to sake, but with a lower alcohol content and higher sugar content). When the grilled eels are done, they are dipped in tare sauce. Grilling eel is a skill that takes a lifetime to perfect. Photo: WAttention.com This is a sweet apple-flavored barbecue sauce, used to marinate grilled dishes, make a dipping sauce or stir-fry vegetables, noodles… Tare sauce will be infused with sweetness inside the eel through grilling the eel once. short time again. Finally, the grilled eel is done, the chef will cut them into small slices to put on the rice with some seaweed, Japanese people often eat eel rice during the day to provide more energy and strength. for the rest of the year.

After nearly 10 years of marriage with her Swedish husband, Doan Trang’s small family decided to leave Vietnam to live in Singapore because of her foreign husband’s job and she also wanted to create more learning conditions for her daughter. While saying goodbye to her biological mother, the singer said in choking emotion, “But my mother and the whole family were assured that we would be together again soon, our whole family would hug each other, laugh and eat delicious dishes that Grandmother cooked, in any house possible.” As can be seen, on weekdays, Doan Trang rarely has to go to the kitchen because she already has her beloved Grandmother to cook delicious food for the whole family. So when she went to Singapore, after days of isolation and had to eat rice from the hotel every day and rarely changed dishes, Doan Trang had to gradually practice with cooking, she admitted that she was not good at cooking but would try every day. day. Quarantine rice of Doan Trang’s family As a result, the female singer cooked for her husband and baby Sol a Japanese-style grilled eel meal that looked extremely attractive and beautiful. Looking at the photo Doan Trang shared, many people did not guess the correct name of the dish, some people guessed grilled pork ribs rice, some people guessed grilled fish. Only those who have been in Japan can correctly guess the name of the female singer’s dish. Surprised that Doan Trang can go into the kitchen by herself, some friends don’t even believe that, “It was him who grilled ribs, Chang arranged them on a plate.” The Japanese-style grilled eel rice dish prepared by Doan Trang herself is beautifully presented and harmoniously colored Eel rice is a traditional dish of the people of the land of cherry blossoms. This delicious dish has a very high nutritional content and is loved by many people. The pieces of eel meat are grilled to a golden color, shiny, sparkling with the color of the sauce, served with hot rice.

The gio cake was bought by her at the market, and the Southwestern-style coconut milk she made herself in 1 note. To be able to cook Japanese-style grilled eel rice like Doan Trang, the method is also very simple: Resources: – 2 eel fillets, pre-grilled and packaged (purchased at Japanese grocery stores and supermarkets) – Sansho pepper powder (sansho is a plant that has leaf buds in March, blooms in May and bears fruit in June. Sansho pepper fruit is picked and peeled in autumn and it becomes a seasoning with its name. order sansho pepper powder.

Chef talking to a passenger on an ANA plane parked at Haneda Airport (Tokyo) Airplane food used to have only two main options: chicken or beef. But now, the biggest airline in Japan started to open high-class food service on a flying plane dubbed “restaurant with wings”, with prices up to more than 12 million VND a meal. A flight attendant prepares meals for the “passengers” All Nippons Airways (ANA) ‘passengers’ can choose between first class seats with meals for 59,800 yen (12.5 million VND) or business seats for half, 29,800 yen (6 , 2 million VND), on a Boeing-777 at Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Customers are asked to pre-select their meal from a Japanese or international menu. Main courses include charcoal grilled fish with saikyo miso sauce, Wagyu beef with Kobe mustard, and sautéed sea bass and shrimp soup, served with Japanese sake, plum wine or Krug champagne. Yosuke Kimoto, 42, had a business class meal with his son. She said: “It serves delicious food here. I’m glad my kids like it too ”. They were one of 60 guests who had lunch on the opening day, along with an equal number for dinner. Her son is also very impressed. “The Business Class is very different from Economy Class in terms of both food and seats. This area is very spacious, and the seats can be turned into beds when you lean them back. ANA will provide 22 lunches and dinners this month, each lasting approximately three hours. There is no in-flight entertainment available, but customers will receive a comfortable kit and can also use the airline’s lounge at Haneda Airport. Singapore Airlines was the first airline to take advantage of the public’s in-flight dining needs last October, when the airline began offering meals on two A380 superjumbo jets parked at Singapore’s Changi Airport. Tickets were sold out in just half an hour, although prices can go up to £ 360 (11.5 million VND) to eat in a luxury flight room and watch a movie. Meanwhile, economy class meals are more affordable at just £ 30 (VND960,000) per person. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed the global aviation industry into its biggest ever crisis, with many planes around the world unable to take off due to travel and entry restrictions. Since then a few firms have to get creative to take advantage of airplanes. At ANA, the idea of ​​a “winged restaurant” was devised by the staff. A passenger enjoying a first class meal Surprisingly, the in-flight meal concept is becoming extremely popular. ANA previously opened an international service that sells economy food since December of last year. So far, they have sold more than 264 thousand meals and earned more than 1.3 billion pounds (41.5 billion VND). The airline said within a few minutes that the beef hotpot, creamy hamgburger with fried rice and eggs had been sold out. British Airways has also begun to offer first-class meals home. It includes a four-part meal for two – with fish, meat and vegetarian options. Through food delivery services Do & Co. Starters, dishes include smoked Loch Fyne salmon with mustard sauce, followed by slow-cooked British beef cheek, along with desserts options like dark chocolate, citrus sandwiches and avocado pudding. Likewise, Finland’s national carrier Finnair started selling business-class meals at a supermarket near Helsinki in October last year, and it was also a success at just 12, 9 Euro (350 thousand VND). The Australian Government has invested AD 1.2 billion (VND 21 billion) to halve the fares for 800,000 flights by July this year to assist people in domestic flights. Airlines have seen a surge in bookings as they sell tickets at a 50% discount, after Queensland’s travel restrictions were relaxed. In response to this situation, International Aviation Corporation (IAG) introduced a digital health report card for passengers to help revive the aviation industry, following a record loss of 7.4 billion euros (200.8). billion VND) by 2020. IAG is also working with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to create a health verification application. The IATA mobile travel card allows passengers to receive COVID-19 test results and prove that they can travel. Currently, the application is being tested by some airlines.

“Sea of ​​pink clouds” on the streets of Tokyo In Tokyo, the cherry blossoms bloom from March 22, the second earliest time in Japanese history, just after Kyoto. Cherry blossoms bloom in full bloom, making visitors feel lost in the fairy tale “sea of ​​pink clouds”. With the imprint of a modern, bustling city, Tokyo in the sakura season is different, the pace of life is slow and surprisingly relaxed. On the street, visitors can easily see families and groups of friends spreading canvas under the cherry blossoms, leisurely admiring the scenery, chattering, drinking sake and enjoying flowers. This activity is called “hanami”, a cultural characteristic of the spring of Phu Tang. Tokyo owns more than 10 cherry blossom viewing spots. Located right in the city, the Shinjuku Gyoen Garden is the perfect place to walk and enjoy the beauty of sakura. The 800 colorful cherry trees spreading along the banks of the Meguro River also hold the pedestrian’s feet. In addition, Inokashira Park, Chidorigafuchi … are also suggestions for sakura viewing. The cherry blossom season comes early for more than 1,200 years This year, the cherry blossom season comes “record” sooner than ever. Researcher Yasuyuki Aono from Osaka Prefecture University gathered historical data in the city of Kyoto. According to Aono, this year’s flower season in Kyoto begins on March 26, the earliest in more than 1,200 years. He said the seasons this year have a special effect on the day when the flowers bloom. The last winter was cold, spring came again earlier and was unusually warm. However, early blooming is only the “tip of the iceberg”. Associate Professor Amos Tai from the University of Hong Kong warns about the global climate crisis that can destabilize the ecosystem and threaten the life of all species. Japan welcomes the earliest cherry blossoms in more than 1,200 years The cherry blossom trees begin to bloom early and most are on March 26 in Tokyo, Japan. According to records, this phenomenon dates back to 812 AD.

What should we do if the digital transformation is not effective? We must pay attention to the six “don’ts” in the implementation of the strategy

Don’t transform for the sake of transformation. In digital transformation, we must pay attention to these six “don’ts”.

Text/Wang Jiwei

Last year, an Accenture survey showed that only 7% of companies in China have done a fair job of digital transformation.

IDC data shows that more than 80% of SMEs in China are in the digital exploration stage, and more than 60% of SMEs have insufficient IT expenditures.

This data is even more prominent in Deloitte’s survey data. More than 85% of companies are still struggling on the road to digital transformation.

The data of several institutions all show that the situation of digital transformation of Chinese enterprises is very unsatisfactory.

In fact, many companies not only have difficulty in digital transformation, but also don’t even fully understand what digital transformation is.

Some companies can reverse the concept of digital transformation, but they still don’t have a clear concept of how to do it, what to do, and to what extent.

This situation is also related to the “over-analysis” of digital transformation by some experts and scholars. For enterprises, digital transformation is nothing more than reducing costs and increasing efficiency. However, with the continuous development of new technologies, more and more concepts are involved, and digital transformation is becoming more sophisticated. A cyberspace alone can explain tens of minutes. Concepts such as digital twins have made many small and medium-sized enterprises listen to the cloud, making some companies discouraged and dare not care.

Does this have any direct help for companies that want to implement digital transformation? Yes, but not much, which can be seen from the ignorant expressions of many people.

After reading the speech, I still couldn’t understand it. Even if you understand it, once you see that you invest tens of millions in this solution, you will still avoid it. If the digital transformation solutions have to invest heavily, for the majority of small and medium-sized enterprises, it is better to optimize human resources. More companies want to know how to quickly and effectively carry out digital transformation.

Many people say that digital transformation must start from the strategic level, that is, the boss takes the lead in doing this, in order to ensure that the executive level can promote it thoroughly. Promoting digitalization from top to bottom can indeed ensure the popularization of digital technology in enterprises. However, in terms of effectiveness, most of the projects have a very long duration. Generally, investment is made in the early stage, and no immediate effect can be seen. In the long run, they will be questioned, and some projects will even be suspended in the middle. This is also one of the reasons why many companies cannot succeed in their digital transformation.

Many cases prove that it is not the digital strategy implemented by other companies that is suitable for your company, nor is it that you can use ready-made cases. The informatization situation of different enterprises is very different, and the digital solutions are also different. In fact, with the mature application of various information technology, digital transformation is relatively easy now, and many requirements are not too difficult to realize. With more and more solutions and more diversified technical means, many companies still cannot play digitally.

The reason is mostly that companies still attach importance to the strategic level and ignore the implementation level. If the execution ability is not improved, the strategic planning is useless. If you want to better integrate strategy and execution, you need to choose and distinguish the execution time of various solutions, understand which solutions are implemented first, which solutions are implemented later, and which solutions can be implemented at the same time.

Also, learn to choose decisively, reject unsuitable solutions, and of course resolutely implement good solutions. Wang Jiwei’s channel believes that in terms of digital strategy implementation and solution selection, it is best to achieve the following six “don’ts”.

1. Don’t transform for the sake of transformation

Many companies cannot succeed in their digital transformation. A very important reason is that they started their transformation without thinking about it, that is, they lack the vision and goals of digital transformation.

Some companies are transforming for the sake of transformation, not because of the needs of business development. Some companies feel that they will fall behind if they see the transformation of their peers. Some companies have listened to the data reports of some organizations, overestimated the capabilities of certain management systems, and did not exhaustively sort out the needs, and implemented digital transformation plans at will, and finally broke the beach. For some companies, digital transformation has not only failed to reduce costs and increase efficiency, but has become a burden to the development of the company, and it has been paid for.

Digital transformation is an effective means for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency. However, the development of enterprises is different. It is necessary for enterprises to consider needs according to local conditions in order to introduce more suitable digital transformation programs. Some business models are relatively light, and it may be possible to achieve a good transformation simply by introducing some digital solutions. Some business models are heavier, and the use of very heavy measures may not be able to complete the transformation, and it needs to be carried out in an orderly manner. Other companies may already have a very good operating model, and they only need to further optimize and iterate under the current model.

Does your organization need marketing, commerce, or product digitization? Do you want to create an independent digital product and business department, or start from a certain business process and gradually implement more business digitization? You should think about it before doing it. . If you want to really do a good job in digital transformation, you must understand the core needs of the enterprise in detail, and don’t make the transformation at a glance.

Second, the most taboo is the lack of execution

For digital transformation, either do not do it, or proceed in an orderly manner after starting. The most taboo is the painless implementation. This phenomenon is generally not very effective, let alone successful transformation.

Everyone knows that the introduction of every digital technology will have a big impact on the original business process and management system of the organization. For example, the introduction of business process automation may cause the disappearance of relatively simple positions in some departments, or even the disappearance of some departments. Some departments that are unwilling to be abolished naturally do not welcome this type of digital technology.

In the enterprise organizational structure, the large-scale application of digital technology has enabled many management links to be realized with technology. This will make the organization flatter, and the leadership positions of the original multi-person organization will be eliminated, so that many people will resist, and the degree of cooperation with digital implementation is very low. When multiple departments are not actively implementing it, there will even be excuses.

In the end, many companies can’t push digitalization anymore, and if the boss doesn’t pay attention to it, they won’t be able to do so. Many early corporate transformations ultimately failed in the organizational structure, especially those family businesses. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to have no strong execution to promote the application of digital technology.

3. Do not invest in digitization with huge investment periods and too long

Now everyone knows that digital transformation is not a one-time thing. How many companies that have failed to transform are using blood lessons to tell everyone that without real money investment and sufficient perseverance, they can’t do digital transformation at all.

Therefore, many companies that are determined to carry out digital transformation plan to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan from the beginning, and then implement a digital project that will take several years to complete. What is the concept of a project with a duration of several years? Perhaps a technology worth tens of thousands of years has fallen behind after the implementation of this project. And in the middle, there is generally not much return on investment.

It’s okay for companies to be determined, but if there is only a long-term investment and no periodic returns, large companies with ample cash flow can still afford it, and small and medium-sized companies with average profits may not be so comfortable. Many companies reluctantly halted their digital projects because they couldn’t insist on investing.

In fact, with the development of digital technology, with the blessing of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other technologies, digital transformation is not as difficult as it was 5 years ago. As long as you find a suitable solution, the rest will depend on how to implement it better. When it comes to the choice of digital transformation solutions, it is best not to choose those with too long construction period and huge investment. It is best to put them into practice while ensuring that they can benefit in real time during the transformation process.

4. Digitalization that reduces costs and increases efficiency cannot be achieved quickly without doing

For every company that wants to transform and upgrade, the use of digital technology for transformation is only a means, and the goal is to reduce costs and increase efficiency. If a company launches a digital project, but it fails to significantly improve its operating efficiency, and even makes the business process more redundant and complicated, such as adding an operation and maintenance specialist for a project, such a digital transformation is obviously unsuccessful of.

A good digital solution may not achieve immediate results, but at least it can achieve certain results in the short term. For example, the cloud of enterprise digital infrastructure can obviously save IT hardware investment, and the greater the business demand, the higher the ROI.Before digital transformation, it is best for enterprises to clarify the transformation focus, so as to select more suitable solutions in a targeted manner

5. Don’t do digitalization that requires continued investment but has little effect

Information technology is developing rapidly, and a new management method may become popular in 3-5 years. Some companies have explored digitalization relatively early. Following advanced corporate management thinking, after more than a decade, many corporate management systems such as CRM and ERP have been launched.

However, more companies do not use these systems effectively. Second, there are data islands between different systems, which cannot connect the data between different systems, and thus cannot better guide business operations through data analysis. During this period, many systems are also being upgraded year by year, and more functions require more investment. But even with more investment, enterprises still cannot achieve the smooth operation of data in all systems.

Then there are some different enterprise management software spanning many years. The heavy investment required to realize automation and intelligence is enough to put on a new information management system, and the ROI still cannot be effectively improved. In this case, the original management software can be completely discarded and a new management system can be re-introduced. Of course, other means can also be considered, such as using RPA and other business process automation software to assist the original system to achieve automation.

6. Do not overdo it in digital implementation

In traditional enterprises, it is normal for the implementation of digitalization to be resisted. And if the digitalization is pushed too hard, it may be too much. Some companies will actively promote and advocate the application of digital technology after they have tasted the benefits of digital technology. Typical examples are marketing digitization and human resources digitization, which can effectively improve precision marketing and human resources management.

When all departments realize that technology can help performance improve, under the advocacy of enterprises, they will rush to introduce various digital technologies to maximize the performance of the department. The easiest way is to develop various applications for different customers and supply chains. Over time, a large number of applications will cause serious data islands. Although everyone is using various APPs to handle their own business, there is no interconnection between the various departments, and it is not much different from the traditional offline business.

Digital transformation must not only satisfy the smooth connection between the enterprise and external customers, but also give priority to ensuring the internal data circulation of the enterprise. Therefore, organizations must pay attention to the “technology flood” situation when carrying out the top-level design of digital transformation, so as not to invest heavily again to solve the problem of data islands.
