NHK's morning information program " Asaichi " (NHK General, Monday-Friday 8:15 AM), hosted by the comedy duo "Hakata Hanamaru-Daikichi" and announcer Naoko Suzuki, will air an Caster on June 3 titled "Is 'Appropriate Salt Intake' Especially in Summer!? Let's Rethink Our Relationship with Salt!"
On the same day, the program will cover topics such as: the danger of heatstroke from being too fixated on "reducing salt intake"; the appropriate way to consume salt; why "reducing salt intake" is necessary for Japanese people; how to normalize your sense of saltiness; what is the "sodium-potassium ratio" that allows you to reduce salt intake without reducing sodium content; and how changing the type of salt can also lead to reduced salt intake.
In addition, there will be a live broadcast from Shakotan Town, Hokkaido. "Everyone! It's time to eat!" will feature Naoyuki Yanagihara, head of the Kincha-ryu school of Edo-style kaiseki cuisine, as the instructor, and will be making "Grated! Sliced! Stir-fried! Cucumber salad and stir-fried simmered cucumbers." The guests will be Takeya Tsukaji from the comedy duo "Drunk Dragon" and talent Moe Yamaguchi.
