Ever since Tokyo Olympic bid ambassador Christel Takigawa used the word "omotenashi"
- a term expressing the spirit of Japanese selfless hospitality -
in her speech to the IOC last week,
it has become a buzzword among newspapers and TV programs.

We prepared a lot of apple sauce today and the poem morphed like this

applesauce
cooked in Ohaga -

Ohaga is the name of my village, where the apples grow.
