[TBSJ] Human recipe. recipe 2 Hirofumi Kiyonaga
A story about Oita's specialty, toriten (chicken tempura) and soccer.

In the second installment of the Shusaku Toba Journal, or TBSJ for short, hosted by Shusaku Toba of "sio," we are joined by Hirofumi Kiyonaga, who has stepped down from his position as president of SOPH. to become creative director of the J. League. I went into this interview with the gut feeling that I was going to hear something about the J-League, which is not often covered in the media, but the conversation with Mr. Kiyonaga, who has soccer and management in common, turned out to be much deeper and more educational than I had expected.

It is a recipe for only "one person" and is named after the only "one" recipe in the world. The plan is for Mr. Toba to devise a recipe for one person, not an unspecified number of people, and to talk about it while actually cooking it. The recipe will also be made public.
