Grandma Akiko, who served as the torchbearer for the Tokyo Olympics 2020, will appear in Grandma’s kitchen on October 16th! You will be taught “Ginger Tsukudani”.

Akiko Yokoyama, 80, who was the torchbearer of the Tokyo Olympics in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture, is a sportswoman who has run full marathons all over the country four times a year. But actually, I’m not very good at running … I heard that I couldn’t run 100m. When Akiko was 40 years old, local running friends gathered to form the “Kuze Running Club”. My brother became the chairman and my husband became the vice chairman … Akiko had to participate. That led me to run, and I was fascinated by the fun of it, so I participated in various marathon events with my husband and wife and friends. At the age of 60, I also tried the 100km marathon. The motto is “Positive! Don’t look back!”. I have taken on the challenge of everything. After running a lot, eat a lot! This time, I would like to teach you “Ginger Tsukudani,” which is popular with marathon friends. Your husband will teach you how to use ginger grown in the field to warm your body in the coming season when it gets cold.
