Can you predict what will be the next food trend after ramen? The culinary world is seeing the rise of a new favorite from Japan called Okonomiyaki. The dish, first eaten to ward off hunger after WWII, is now a symbolic food of Hiroshima and its reconstruction. Okonomiyaki is a savory street-style pancake that is renowned for its delicious flavor and high nutritional content. You can add any ingredient you like to the dish that literally translates to “whatever you like, grilled.” The one ingredient that should not be skipped is Otafuku Okonomi Sauce, Japan’s top-selling condiment. Otafuku Okonomi Sauce became popular after WWII when Okonomiyaki became a staple food in Hiroshima. The sauce is mild and sweet with about 50 selected ingredients, and the unmistakable flavor of dates distinguishes…

ABOUT A FIVE-MINUTE DRIVE FROM DOWNTOWN Morehead City, North Carolina, three retirees sat down for lunch at their favorite spot, Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ’n Biscuits. While visitors to More-head City, on the southeast coast of the state, might feel they had tumbled into a world far removed from the rest of the state, one of the men, a retired nuclear chemist, said he knew of a place that was much more out of touch. “One of the most isolated places in the world, and I’ve been there, is a university,” said Ken. “All you do is talk to your friends, and your friends are the same ones who think the same way you do…. They only talk to people who make themselves feel comfortable.” Ken was sitting with Verne and…

IN JANUARY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY revealed that four patients at its Irving Medical Center in New York had been sick with an unusual version of E. coli, a common gut bacterium. Although the news largely escaped attention in the media, it ricocheted through the world of infectious disease experts. E. coli is a relatively common bacterium and benign when it’s in the gut, where it usually lives, but in the wrong places—such as in lettuce or ground beef, or our bloodstream—it can turn deadly. When antibiotics prove ineffective against an E. coli infection, as many as half the patients with it die within two weeks. That’s exactly why the Columbia E. coli was so worrying. Over the past decade or two, E. coli has developed resistance to one antibiotic after another.…

Britain’s Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, present their newborn son at Windsor Castle on May 8. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor is seventh in line to the throne, yet he has no royal title, reflective of his parents’ wish that he grow up as a private citizen. For now, he will be known simply as Master Archie. “We’re just so thrilled to have our own little bundle of joy,” Harry said.…

IN ANTICIPATION OF THE 50TH anniversary of NASA astronauts landing on the moon, Newsweek is spotlighting pioneers in science and technology, highlighting their very own moonshots and how they hope to change the world. Mazi Ghorbani is an entrepreneur and inventor whose latest venture involves creating a sustainable protein derived from fish in an effort to combat childhood hunger. What is your moonshot? My dream is to have our technology deployed all around the globe and literally save lives by delivering the most sustainable, healthy protein to the over 5 million children that die every year of malnutrition, along with all of the adults and young children in the developing world that are either stunted or undernourished. Where’s your inspiration from? When my wife and I started an organization called…

SCOTT CHAMBLISS HAS BUILT ENVIRONMENTS across the universe as production designer for movies such as Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. But Godzilla: King of the Monsters presented a new challenge: create an entire ecosystem robust enough to shape a fictional human past and populate its monster-filled future. “What is their story, what are their qualities, and how do we most accurately or meticulously convey this about them?” Chambliss says, describing his design approach. As the ringleader on more than a dozen creature designs for King of the Monsters—“17 and counting,” Dr. Ishiro Serizawa (Ken Watanabe) says in the latest trailer—Chambliss and director Michael Dougherty had to build a world on a scale appropriate for the movie’s rampaging iconic monsters, or Titans, competing for dominance. “We had…

A woman sits with her child next to storm-ravaged buildings on May 4 after Cyclone Fani swept through the eastern state of Odisha. The cyclone killed at least 34 people in India and 15 in Bangladesh. Reports credited the vastly improved disaster readiness efforts of the countries, which evacuated millions of people from the powerful storm’s path, with preventing a much larger death toll. DIBYANGSHU SARKAR…

For Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, these are the good old days. Because of a proliferation of white-tailed deer and other mammals that harbor the microbe and a seemingly endless supply of ticks to transfer it from deer to human bloodstreams, an estimated 300,000 people are infected each year in the United States. Left untreated, Lyme disease does a lot of damage: It can attack the heart and nervous system and trigger arthritis. Fortunately, B. burgdorferi has not yet developed a resistance to antibiotics. That’s good news for most bite victims who are lucky enough to notice the early symptoms—fever, headache, chills, fatigue, joint and muscle aches and swollen lymph nodes, plus a rash up to 12 inches from the bite site—and seek treatment with a three-…

SINCE POKéMON DEBUTED IN 1996, the franchise’s “pocket monsters” have dominated the hearts, minds and wallets of generations of kids. It’s now a global empire worth $90 billion, making it the world’s most valuable media property, bigger than Star Wars. And it has its first live-action, big-screen movie, Detective Pikachu (based on an adventure game of the same name), which opened in theaters May 10. Pokémon began as a pair of Japanese-only video games for Nintendo’s Game Boy. Players were tasked with catching Pokémon and training them to battle one another. A trading card game, comic book and cartoon series launched soon after, and the whole phenomenon was exported to the U.S. in 1998. Since then, there have been 78 video games, 18 animated movies and thousands of trading cards,…

01 Mexico Valle de Guadalupe Drinking in Mexico isn’t just about tequila—Valle de Guadalupe in Baja turns out surprisingly good chardonnay, riesling and chenin blanc, as well as reds including merlot, tempranillo and petite sirah. 02 United States Idaho The unsung hero of the American wine industry is Idaho.
