A three-judge panel at Yokohama District Court found Petty Officer 2nd Class Daniel Krieger liable in a civil suit and awarded compensation to the victims based on the severity of their injuries
The plaintiffs sought about $150,000 in total damages
He was sentenced in September to 16 months in prison with hard labor
Presiding Judge Takahiko Fujisawa said Krieger may have been suffering from brain trauma
but was still liable for taking out his frustration on the plaintiffs
“It can be understood that the defendant impulsively directed his anger at strangers passing by,” Fujisawa said in court
Neither Krieger nor his attorneys attended the hearing
did not respond to a phone call or email seeking comment Friday
Five people were injured in the 2022 incident
The most seriously hurt were a man with multiple sprained vertebrae and a woman with a broken upper jaw
Police initially recommended five counts of bodily injury
One of the four victims — a 61-year-old woman — told reporters after the hearing that it was a “satisfying result,” but added that her life had changed since the incident
“I can’t go back to the normal life I had before,” she said
I have to live with this the rest of my life.”

Everyone thinks the man in the image is me
biochemists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that children’s cells
can go on living in the brains of their mothers for several decades
The study’s authors couldn’t definitively say why
but the news reminded me of my childhood paranoia that my mum was secretly able to read my mind
(Were microchimeric cells… psychic transmitters?) As pre-adolescent neuroses go
My nine-year-old self felt so close to her that even telepathy didn’t seem out of the question
I trusted that mother knew best – and knew me best
I was accompanying her through Arsenal station in north London when she stopped at one of those “See it
“I am sure that this is you,” she announced
This particular variant showed a Japanese-looking dude in a scarf and jacket
peering up from a newspaper at a suspiciously abandoned bag
The image had been in use since November 2016
when the Department for Transport launched it as part of a series encouraging members of the public to report “anything that doesn’t look right” to staff or police
The campaign’s stated aim was to establish “a more vigilant network on railways across the country” – a priority at a time when the UK’s terrorism threat level was “severe”
meaning that an attack was considered “highly likely”
The various posters in the series have since appeared in about 11,000 locations
Sorted” – has been broadcast on more than 13,000 trains
When the poster first went up eight years ago
a friend texted me a photo of it and asked
“IS THIS YOU?!?” I was pretty sure that it wasn’t
I wore the same sort of glasses as the Man in the Picture
a year or two before the slogan became a fact of British life
a photographer had asked to take a picture of me near Farringdon station
Surely I’d have been properly informed about the purpose of the shoot if it was for something as consequential as a national anti-terror campaign
She pointed at the nose of the Man in the Picture
“I will always recognise my own son,” she said
her secret brain-stash of my microchimeric cells possibly glowing
I decided to find out once and for all whether that picture was of me
whose logo is prominently displayed on the bottom-right corner of every poster – but a representative informed me that the force had nothing to do with the campaign
which was the responsibility of the Department for Transport
So I sent the latter a freedom-of-information request
“Following a thorough search of our paper and electronic records
I have established that the information you requested is not held by this department,” replied the policy adviser who had been forced to deal with my weird queries
The friend who first alerted me to the poster’s existence doesn’t see why I’m increasingly perturbed by my possible participation in the campaign
“You’re the one saving the day in that poster – you spot a bomb!” she said the other day
Yet I can’t help but feel that its fundamental premise – that we are all at risk of being murdered by one of our fellow travellers
and that this is an unavoidable reality of 21st-century life – serves the sinister interests of a political class that has for too long been at ease pursuing foreign policies that inflame tensions across the globe
increasing the odds of a mid-commute massacre
A world in which a potential terror attack is as ordinary as yet another signal failure shouldn’t be accepted as normal
and neither should paranoia be our civic duty
If security is the rationale for the existence of a state and the justification for its authority over its subjects
Perhaps telepathically sensing my distress
(For context: her last message on the family WhatsApp read
“I hate Elon Musk.”) I answer the phone and inform her of my lack of progress with the Department for Transport

I’m a total sushi rookie but I’ve taken the plunge and headed over to Sushi Zushi
Sushi Zushi is an open-concept sushi counter that lets you watch your food being prepared right in front of you (perfect for admin who is super nosy). It’s basically like a delicious dinner and a sushi show rolled into one
As a newbie, I followed the chef’s recommendations to kick things off
The Otoro Fatty Tuna Sashimi (S$12) was my favourite
The Chutoro Medium Fatty Tuna Sashimi (S$9) was a solid runner-up
While Sake Salmon Sashimi (S$2) was a classic
Each came with a touch of wasabi (admin isn’t exactly the biggest fan) which worked beautifully with the profile of the sushi
Next, the Aburi Salmon Sushi (S$4) was a showstopper
caramelised richness that I couldn’t get enough of
I tried the Crab Mayo (S$6) which had snow crab mixed with creamy mayo
It wasn’t life-changing but still worth a shot if you love mayo-based sushi
With 19 handroll options
The Ebi Handroll (S$4) was a surprising favourite
and spring onion was an explosion of flavour in every bite
Wagyu Beef Handroll (S$9) was a wildcard
It wasn’t my favourite but was a unique experience
And, of course, I had to get Chawanmushi (S$3.50). It was light and hiding a chewy mochi surprise in the airy bed of goodness
I finished the meal with Goma Ice Cream Black Sesame Ice Cream (S$3.80)
this dessert will be your newest obsession
The rice deserves its own spotlight
Hand-beaten twice daily with red vinegar and made using Hokkaido Sansanmaru rice
it’s the perfect foundation for every bite
To celebrate their opening
Sushi Zushi is running a S$1.50 promotion on their sashimi sushi!
Plus, if you spend S$50 or more to get a spin on their Gachapon machine to win prizes like DJI Mini Drone, iPhone, and more. This is available until stock runs out
So, are you ready to roll down to Funan

a logistics specialist aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Milius
was sentenced to two years and four months of prison with hard labor
suspended for four years by the Yokohama District Court Yokosuka Branch
Krieger hasn’t decided whether he will appeal the sentence
lead defense attorney Takashi Takano told Stars and Stripes after the sentencing
“I think the decision was wrong,” Takano told reporters after the hearing
with multiple sprained vertebrae and a woman
broken nasal bone and other facial injuries
but disappointed by the suspended sentence
“I hope he recognizes his crime after this decision
because he hasn’t apologized or shown any remorse,” she told reporters after the sentencing
the three-judge panel led by Judge Yasushi Katada said they noted the two most injured parties required two months of medical treatment or recovery
and the remaining two required between one and two weeks
Prosecutors ultimately indicted Krieger on four counts of causing bodily injury
testified April 25 that the sailor had consumed at least 11 alcoholic beverages over the course of several hours that day
The judges said Krieger’s health and intoxication played a part in the case
but they didn’t believe it excused his actions or absolved him of responsibility
during which Krieger kicked one of the injured parties
constituted “dangerous brutality,” according to the summary
They also described it as “indiscriminate violence committed in public against people who were not at fault.”
Katada in the summary said the judges felt Krieger was unable to control himself because he was drunk and his actions were a way to “relieve his stress” about the overall situation and his ongoing health issues
The judges found Krieger intentionally injured the 33-year-old man and a second man
and by negligence injured the other two people
Krieger testified that he consumed between 10 and 20 drinks that day and remembers very little of the incident
with the injured parties asking for about $153,000

Singapore
which somehow manages to combine three things that Singaporeans love: sushi
This new sushi bar is located on the second floor of Funan in the corner that Gong Cha used to occupy
The first thing we notice is its unconventional layout
consisting of two islands with counter seats where we get to watch the chefs prepare everything before our eyes
The sushi is served directly by hand onto wooden trays on the countertop – similar to how it’s done in omakase restaurants
Founders Ryan Lin and Gerald Lee (also behind Omu Nomu Craft Sake & Raw Bar) have a lofty goal in mind
and that is to serve high-quality sushi at affordable prices.
the standard salmon nigiri goes at $2 for two pieces
as does a range of other gunkan and nigiri
But you’ll also spot more premium offerings on the menu like scallop nigiri ($9 for two)
and snow crab nigiri ($12 for two) – definitely on the higher side in terms of pricing
there are also lesser-seen ingredients like engawa (flatfish fin) and anago (conger eel)
The sushi here stands out not only for its exceptional freshness – thanks to seafood flown in from Japan’s Toyosu Fish Market four times a week – but also for its unique shari (sushi rice)
the shari holds its own and complements each ingredient it’s paired with
a testament to how good sushi rice can make a world of difference.
Hokkaido Sansanmaru rice is hand-beaten twice daily and mixed with red vinegar from Tokyo
Delicate rice rounds with a savoury and vinegary – yet not tart – profile
plus grains that are nicely separated without falling apart
The satisfying rice-to-ingredient ratio earns a nod from us too.
And no visit to Sushi Zushi is complete without ordering one of its handrolls
There’s a dizzying selection of 19 to choose from
more indulgent options like uni and ikura ($20) and wagyu beef ($9) are also available
With the recent waning popularity of omakase dining due to its sky-high prices
it’s no surprise that joints like these which offer highly customisable yet novel experiences quickly become the talk of the town
we guess there’s only one thing left to beat: the queue.
Find out more about Sushi Zushi here.
Sushi Zushi is open daily from 11.30am to 4pm and 5.30pm to 9.30pm at 02-01

was haunted by the aesthetics of self-destruction
General Douglas MacArthur went to the US Congress to deliver some good news
had “undergone the greatest reformation recorded in modern history”
From the “ashes left in war’s wake” had risen a nation “dedicated to the primacy of individual liberty and personal dignity”
with “a truly representative government committed to the advance of political morality
freedom of economic enterprise and social justice”
Unlike the supreme commander of the Allied powers during Japan’s postwar occupation
who would quickly become the country’s most translated novelist in Europe and more recently an idol of the US far right
saw only “hypocritical ‘harmony’” in which emotions were “dulled
Or so he put it in “Voices of the Fallen Heroes”
a spooky 1966 short story in which ghosts at a séance ventriloquise his preoccupations with national and cultural decline after Emperor Hirohito rejected his divinity
The story is the centrepiece of a new collection of the same name
drawn from the last decade of Mishima’s brief but brilliant career
was one of modern Japan’s most important cultural figures
But his life has too often been overshadowed by his death
His weirdly flaccid coup attempt in 1970 that culminated in his suicide by hara-kiri (and decapitation by members of his ultra-nationalist private militia) has been romanticised by reactionary freaks for years
who proselytise his ideas on neo-Nazi web forums such as Stormfront
His work once even made it onto a list of “Must-Read WN [White Nationalist] Books” – a wild achievement for a clearly Asian
was but one aspect of a writer of beguiling
as this latest Penguin Classics selection reminds us
bugged-out tale of jazz-loving bohemians on a bender in an abandoned church; 1967’s “Companions” tells the story of a father and chain-smoking son falling in with a random dude while house-hunting in London
derives moments of sweaty eroticism from an account of a middle-aged man’s driving test
is a haunting yokai (or supernatural folklore) narrative that begins with the granular details of a neighbourhood merchants’ meeting before taking a disorienting supernatural turn
Mishima’s stylistic and thematic range is masterly and his details always evocative – he describes a woman’s nipples as “ever so faintly red as if someone had playfully coated them in rouge”
Even a day spent in San Francisco’s Union Square among children chasing pigeons and people-watchers enjoying the sun elicits in the narrator of 1962’s “The Flower Hat” a suspicion that “this ‘peaceful life’ might itself amount to nothing more than a picture”
The scene then becomes a vision of “utter death”
a boy in a baby walker suddenly as inert as an “immaculate shard of pottery”
anyone who didn’t see the world as doomed to destruction was simply blind,” he explains – a reasonable fear
just 17 years after a world war and the dropping of the atom bombs
but so absolute that it renders ordinary joy almost impossible
If postwar abundance and stability were for phoneys and the self-deluded
he longed for the restrictions of an older
more rigid social morality that would give all those who accepted them a unifying purpose
like members of the samurai class described in the 18th-century warriors’ handbook Hagakure
would be willing to expend their lives in the glorification of energy and passion
and perhaps find final fulfilment in a beautiful death
Japan had been a land of living gods until Hirohito stepped down from the heavens with the Humanity Declaration of 1 January 1946
humiliatingly drafted by the Allied powers
The emperor had been the embodiment of the country’s traditional culture
the crushing of the chrysanthemum that followed the surrender of the sword
For all his far-right provocations and calls for manly nationalism
though – for all his marching up and down the streets of Tokyo with his toy militia
cosplaying imperial soldiers – it was only in a kind of aesthetic hedonism that he seemed to locate any final meaning
beauty is always retreating from one’s grasp,” he wrote a couple of years before his death
“The only thing I consider important is what existed once
or ought to have existed.” This pursuit of a paradise lost was what animated the author
regardless of its futility or even whether an authentic state of being had ever been anything but a myth
the spirits of kamikaze pilots who died for the then-divine emperor reproach Hirohito for defiling their sacrifice by conceding his humanity
“Even if the past ages were ‘a false conception’
“why did not His Majesty… deign to guard that bitter
false conception for the sake of those who had died?”
that conception was something that Mishima was willing to die for
he left a note in his office that read: “Human life is limited
but I would like to live for ever.” Then he marched with four hunky
entered the headquarters of the Eastern Command of the Japan Self-Defence Forces and failed miserably to inspire the soldiers there to launch a coup d’état to restore imperial divinity
And like Richey Edwards in 1991 carving “4 real” into his arm with a razor blade to prove how committed the Manic Street Preachers were
Mishima drew a Japanese sword and plunged it into his toned body
“A futile death that bears neither flower nor fruit has dignity as the death of a human being,” Mishima wrote in a 1967 essay on the continued relevance of bushido
He had loathed what he perceived as the “estrangement of body and spirit in modern society”; what was his suicide but a grisly
he confessed that he had long “cherished a romantic impulse towards death” and felt that an aesthetically pleasing act of self-destruction required first a beautiful body: “A powerful
tragic frame and sculpturesque muscles were indispensable in a romantically noble death.” All of his training with his militia
his bodybuilding and his honing of muscles through martial arts were preparations for this final
It was a seppuku both 4 real and in quotation marks
not much younger than the cuckolding Ryosuke in the 1965 story “True Love at Dawn”
That tragic hero finds eternal youth in death
slain by a young man tricked into having sex with Ryosuke’s wife
When the police ask the killer why he butchered them both
“Because they were beautiful and real… I didn’t have a single other reason to kill them.” I have a feeling that Mishima’s ghost would admit the same thing about his own self-murder
What lengths some people go to just to affirm their existence and maintain their lust for beauty as it fades
Voices of the Fallen Heroes: And Other StoriesYukio Mishima

This article appears in the 15 Jan 2025 issue of the New Statesman, The Disruptors
pleaded for leniency Monday from a three-judge panel during a hearing at the Yokosuka Branch of Yokohama District Court
Krieger may be adjudicated and sentenced at the same time
which treat conviction and sentencing separately
Prosecutors argue that Krieger remains a threat to others
Police recommended charging Krieger with five counts of bodily injury
but prosecutors ultimately indicted him on four counts
determine criminal charges in the Japanese justice system
“Due to acute alcohol intoxication accompanied by delirium
he was in a severely altered state of consciousness with significant cognitive impairment and impaired judgement; he was in a state of pathological intoxication in which he was unable to properly understand the meaning and impact of his own actions,” Krieger’s defense attorney Takashi Takano said in his closing statement Monday
said his brain injury and pelvic floor dysfunction led him to a “path of extreme alcohol consumption.” Doctors have “never found the source” or offered him relief
“That led me to adopt a self-destructive mentality,” he told the judges
instead insisting that his was “a selfish crime
which took out an anger on the innocent victims.” They proposed a prison term with hard labor
The prosecutor argued that Krieger’s claim of delirium and lack of memory that night contradicts the evidence
“The defendant was not found to have exhibited any abnormal behavior that would suggest he was strongly influenced by any mental illness immediately before
during and after the crimes,” the prosecutor said in court
is attempting to avoid criminal responsibility and is likely to commit another crime
He said Krieger has yet to agree with the injured parties on compensation
Krieger in court said he could not pay the 22 million yen — about $153,000 — they had asked for in a separate on-going civil lawsuit
but there hasn’t been any apology or remorse [from Krieger] and when I think that I could have died at the time
the fear I felt then comes back to me,” she said
She said she believed the incident was “an indiscriminate
random attack” and that Krieger could repeat his actions if he drinks again
said he was still afraid of walking alone day and night and that “it makes me tremble even when someone running approaches me from behind.”
sailor accused of slamming into a group of people two years ago at a popular Japanese beach remembers little of what happened
partly because he’d been drinking heavily that day
Petty Officer 2nd Class Daniel Krieger is on trial on four counts of bodily injury stemming from an incident in Zushi
The most severely injured of the group were a 33-year-old man with multiple sprained vertebrae and a 58-year-old woman with a broken upper jaw
Krieger testified for nearly five hours in Yokohama District Court’s Yokosuka Branch
He said he remembered few significant details of the incident because he had consumed between 10 and 20 alcoholic drinks that day
Krieger remembered “colliding with someone,” he told his defense attorneys
He recalled that he fell over and subsequently felt like someone was grabbing him and chasing him
when the defense will present a psychiatrist who examined Krieger as an expert witness
He acknowledged that surveillance footage from that day shows him running into the group
a logistics specialist assigned to the guided-missile destroyer USS Milius
collided with three men and two women that day
Krieger and his attorneys do not contest the facts in the case but say a previous brain injury and his intoxication that day left him unable to take responsibility for what happened
who represents the injured parties in a separate civil suit against the sailor
asked Krieger in court Monday how he felt about the victims’ fear that he’ll “attack them again.”
I have no reason to attack these people,” he said
They “need to know that I’m not going after them,” he added
Krieger testified that the day began with a trip to the beach with his wife
Rina Krieger eventually left for home with their son
leaving Daniel Krieger to relax on the beach
Krieger suffered a brain hemorrhage after intervening in a fight at a train station in Yokosuka
he became increasingly irritable and forgetful
He also testified that pelvic floor dysfunction leads him to drink to alleviate constant discomfort
Krieger admitted to lying to police about his level of intoxication
He initially told investigators he was sober that day due to avoid more trouble with the Navy
He also instructed his wife to tell police the same thing

Nagisa Bashi Cafe provides the perfect pit stop for beachgoers seeking sustenance and relaxation before a day at Zushi Beach on Sagami Bay
You’ll have a choice of indoor or outdoor seating
There may be a short wait during peak hours
but the attentive staff will promptly call your number
with ice cream floats and alcoholic beverages if you want something more
The main menu has breakfast options from fluffy French toasts and hearty egg dishes for breakfast to savory burgers
There’s something to satiate every craving
The kids’ menu offers a choice between a classic burger or pasta
accompanied by a side salad and crispy fries
The seasonal menu right now has two options: Mont Blanc strawberry chiffon cake and Japanese-style sweet soup of strawberry and red bean
which arrived at my table fluffy and with the perfect amount of sweetness
The fruit slices and fruit sauce on the side complemented it well
As the temperature rises and beach season approaches
Nagisa Bashi Cafe is the ultimate destination for a pre-beach coffee
Prices: Most dishes cost between 780 yen and 1,680 yen
Directions: Pay parking is available near the cafe
which is a 20-minute walk from Zushi and Keikyu Zushi-Hayama stations
Living in Tokyo, we're lucky to have access to many beaches just outside the city
and there’s no better way to spend a summer weekend than basking in the sun by the sea
the best way to hit the beach in style is at an umi no ie (beach house)
These often temporary surf-side hangouts are a highlight of the summer season
providing all the essentials you need to enjoy a day on the beach
as well as rent your own deck chairs and parasols to upgrade your experience
Some beach houses are even equipped with luxurious lounges while others offer water activities
Here are our four picks of the best beach houses near Tokyo this summer
A post shared by SeasideLivingzushi (@seasidelivingzushi)
This relaxing beach house in Zushi has a swanky bar serving refreshing cocktails all day long. Seaside Living’s menu is created by Cafe and Dining Sakae
which prides itself on using local produce sourced from Zushi and surrounding areas.
The Cuban sandwich (from ¥1,200) with smoked chicken and cheese is the most popular item to just grab and go
but the Hawaiian dishes like loco moco (¥1,500) and spam avocado bowl (¥1,300) are commendable
Pair your food with an ice-cold Zushi craft beer (¥900) or a housemade lemonade (¥700) and you’ll be happy as a clam.
If you’re here with a group of friends
it’s worth booking a barbecue set (from ¥3,900; for groups of at least four people)
plus a grilled onigiri and plenty of Shonan veggies to cook on the grill
It's been 40 years since Inage Seaside Park opened to the public and Chiba prefecture has made efforts to revitalise the attraction with new features
a glamping area and an outdoor pool that opened in summer 2022
Inage Seaside Park now also offers a spectacular seaside café that sits on the 1.2 km-long pier
Weekends and holidays are the liveliest as there are music performances to entertain the crowds
When: Seaside Café is open year-roundWhere: Inage Seaside Park
Happy Go Lucky has been around for over a decade and it’s still one of the most popular beach houses with locals
Anyone can just rock up to the bar and dining space
which offers Chinese noodles with deep fried mackerel (¥1,000)
garlic shrimp (¥1,200) and honey mustard chicken pizza (¥1,200)
The menu also lists around a dozen cocktails (from ¥700) and fruity margaritas (¥1,000)

It’s clear how much Singaporeans love their sushi — in fact, our mall directories are a clear testament of this, with some malls having as many as four or five sushi restaurants or chains within one location
At first glance, it’s easy to write off the new Sushi Zushi at Funan, by the folks behind Omo Nomu Craft Sake & Raw Bar
But step in and you’ll realise that the quaint space resembles that of a more intimate Japanese dining setup
akin to those you’d find at an omakase spot
despite open-concept seating where you can see the chef slice up your fish and shape up your sushi
the prices are way lower than what you might get at a fancier spot
Sushi Zushi’s menu doesn’t stray too far from what you’d get at a typical sushi spot in Singapore, but differentiates itself with its shari (rice), which uses Tokyo red vinegar and Hokkaido Sansanmaru rice
The process is said to give the rice more flavour and texture in each bite
complementing the fresh catch brought in by Sushi Suzhi — flown in four times a week from Tokyo’s Toyosu Fish Market
We also spotted a larger handroll section — 19 handrolls
to be exact — and Sushi Zushi also serves its handrolls open-faced so you can decide however you’d like to have them
we weren’t quite sure why there was a drastically longer wait of nearly 20 minutes for them (as compared to other non-handroll dishes ordered by those around us)
We later surmised that there seemed to only be one person making the handrolls (and you can only receive one at a time)
some clear handroll standouts for us were the wagyu beef (S$9)
which came with a raw quail egg for you to dip your roll into
The other sushi types are par for the course for a sushi restaurant here
but we will say all of its raw dishes are very fresh (they’re sliced right in front of you after all!)
Sushi Zushi makes for an extremely value-for-money spot that’ll easily fill you up for not very much
The fact that every seat gets an unobstructed view of the chefs in action
also adds to the experience at a very reasonable price point
The seemingly never-ending queue — where there is value and low prices
Did we also mention its unbeatable good location — it’s located on the second floor right next to the external escalator at Funan Mall
From what we understand, Sushi Zushi isn’t taking reservations for now, so going early and queuing is your best bet to try this new trending spot, or just hoping till the next Japanese “It” spot springs up

The city itself is on guard this summer as thousands more visitors are expected now that COVID-19 restrictions have ended
Zushi has one of 22 separate beaches in Kanagawa prefecture and remains a popular destination for sailors and dependents
More than 250,000 people visited Zushi’s beach last year
out of 2.3 million who sunned and swam on Sagami Bay beaches across Kanagawa
Beach season in Kanagawa begins Friday and runs through Sept
and the prefecture expects a “larger turnout” than last year
according to a spokesman for the prefecture’s Community Health Division
A surge in attendance bodes well for the economy
but the city is increasing security measures in a manner similar to last year when Japanese police alleged U.S
sailor Daniel Krieger charged into a group of people
on-site interpreters during holidays and weekends
security patrols and a request for the base to remind everyone to follow the rules
a spokesman from the city Finance and Tourism Division told Stars and Stripes by phone Monday
The same request was made to area factories
Many Japanese government spokespeople are required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity
"It will be the first time in four years that we will open the beaches without COVID restrictions,” he said
“We will keep working hard to maintain our reputation as a safe and secure beach for families.”
Kanagawa prefecture itself will not be taking any special security measures
Krieger was charged with bodily injury of four people on Nov
Prosecutors allege he body slammed a group of five people from behind and knocked them down on July 9
Krieger allegedly kicked a 33-year-old man in the back
knocked another 33-year-old down and kicked them in the face and knocked a 58-year-old woman down
The victims’ injuries included spinal sprains
Yokosuka Naval Base spokesman Randall Baucom declined to identify Krieger’s rank
but said in a Monday email that the sailor is awaiting a trial date
No additional charges have been levied and a court date has not been set
a spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said by phone Monday
The Navy reminded sailors and civilians from Yokosuka to be “good ambassadors and follow the local beach guidelines,” Baucom said
no consumption of alcoholic beverages and tattoos covered appropriately
It's always a good idea to keep a trash bag handy as most beaches don't have trash cans,” Baucom said
“An important part of our mission here in Japan is to maintain and build positive relationships so please keep this in mind and help keep the local beaches a welcoming place for everyone.”

He pleaded not guilty during his March 8 arraignment at Yokohama District Court’s Yokosuka Branch
Krieger’s attorneys don’t dispute the facts of the July 9
Krieger’s criminal defense lawyers argue the sailor cannot bear responsibility because he was drunk at the time and suffers from a preexisting brain injury
whose clients are demanding damages of about $136,000
Krieger’s lawyers could not be reached for comment Friday
Kanagawa Prefectural Police Officer Ryota Yogita testified Krieger at first identified himself as Satan and at varying times said he was from Colombia
Yogita at the time worked at the Zushi Police Department and interrogated Krieger after the incident
Krieger refused a Breathalyzer test and said he hadn’t been drinking that day
Krieger did not smell of alcohol but seemed to be speaking and acting strangely

Among the most severe injuries was a 33-year-old man with multiple sprained vertebrae and a 58-year-old woman who suffered a broken upper jaw
Kanagawa police in October 2022 recommended charging Krieger with bodily injury of five individuals
bodily injury carries a maximum punishment of 15 years with hard labor or a fine of approximately $3,250
Paul Macapagal confirmed Krieger’s rank and command but could not immediately provide other biographical details

Sungwoo Park has run his sushi restaurant Zushi Zone in Bassendean Shopping Centre for 10 years, but has been abruptly told to move out to make way for a national sushi chain.
Mr Park said he was "shocked" when the chain store Sushi Sushi opened just five metres from his family business.
He said Hawaiian Group, which operates 11 shopping centres in Perth, told him turnover was not high enough and instructed him to move to different a centre in Girrawheen or relocate within the Bassendean centre.
"They have to give priority to the local business and small businesses, it's not like a national franchise," he said.
"This small shopping centre is meant to be [for] local or small business.
"I have two kids, this business is all about me and my family. It's everything for me."
Mr Park said his regular customers have rallied around Zushi Zone.
"Everyone said this is not right, there's still many customers coming to my shop, they support me and cheer me up," he said.
Local customer Kirsty told the ABC said the community had been discussing the matter on social media.
"I think we need to support local, that's what Bassendean does and to see a big franchise open and possibly take away customers from a family business, it's not something that we approve of in this community," she said.
"We've all agreed that we'll continue to buy from our family owned local sushi provider and we won't be shopping with the big chain."
In a statement, a spokesperson for Hawaiian said "Mr Park and his team at Zushi Zone have been a valued part of Hawaiian’s Bassendean, and we are grateful for the wonderful contributions they have made over the years".
"We have been in consultation with Mr Park since late last year, discussing a variety of options for his business, within the centre or the wider Hawaiian portfolio.
"Commercial discussions remain confidential.
"We deeply value our relationship with the Bassendean community. Hawaiian has a steadfast commitment to the community and our retailers, and our goal is to enhance the overall experience for everyone in Bassendean.
"We are still actively engaging with Mr Park."

Japan – Japanese prosecutors on Tuesday indicted a U.S
sailor accused of injuring several people by charging into them at a popular beach near the homeport of the U.S
was charged with bodily injury of four people
a spokesman for the Yokohama District Public Prosecutor’s Office in Yokosuka city told Stars and Stripes by phone Thursday
The spokesman provided the sailor’s name in Japanese but declined to specify his assigned unit and rank
Japanese government spokespeople are customarily required to speak to the media on condition of anonymity
25 confirmed the sailor is stationed there but declined comment Thursday on the indictment
The charges stem from a July 9 incident in Zushi in which Krieger allegedly slammed physically into a group of five people from behind and knocked them down
The indictment alleges Krieger then kicked a 33-year-old person in the back
spraining their cervical and lumbar vertebrae
24 identified the 33-year-old as a man from Tokyo
The sailor also allegedly slammed into another 33-year-old
Those people were not identified by gender by the police or prosecutors
Krieger then allegedly kicked the second 33-year-old in the face
The 25-year-old suffered an abrasion to their right hand
Prosecutors said Krieger also allegedly knocked down a 58-year-old whom police identified as a woman
a broken nasal bone and other facial injuries
21 recommended charging Krieger with bodily injury of five individuals
The Zushi Municipal Assembly passed a unanimous resolution Sept

“The incident is a serious criminal act that Zushi city has not experienced in recent years,” the resolution said
“It is absolutely unacceptable that it caused fear and anxiety; not just to the victims

In a market where truly exceptional cannabis is a rarity
The Ten Co.’s combination of premium quality
remarkable branding and Zushi remains unrivaled
Our last conversation with The Ten Co. came on the heels of their monumental success in 2021
when they claimed top honors at the inaugural Zalympix event
The competition scene reached new heights after Greenwolf
stormed out the gates with their top-shelf box contest
some skeptics attributed the win to mere hype
the myth and allure surrounding Zushi were proven to be well-deserved
evident in the four-hour-long queue that formed at their booth during the recent Zalympix ceremony
the mystique surrounding Zushi was even more pronounced two years ago
causing people to fall into various camps of belief
Some staunchly reaffirmed their faith in Zushi after the W
while others criticized the influence of hype
There were also those who may not have personally favored Zushi but acknowledged why it emerged as the winner
subjectivity was eliminated through blind entries
Zushi had to withstand the scrutiny of over 120 entries just to secure a place in the finals
it faced fierce competition within the most challenging Zalympix box to date
alongside a plethora of exceptional Z terpenes
as we previously highlighted when reviewing the entries
to inquire if he ever felt concerned about the abundance of exceptional Zkittelz flavors in this year’s competition
Z has held the championship title for quite some time now
There were numerous entries that were just as impressive as mine
It’s about time the industry started emphasizing light green cannabis again,” Staks candidly shared with L.A
Staks acknowledged that the game has significantly evolved since the first Zalympix
He believes that people are actively searching for new and unique offerings that can compete
hence the outstanding quality of this year’s entries
Staks appreciates the competitive environment within which The Ten Co
considering it beneficial for their business
the focus is on delivering the hype directly to consumers
“We are currently directing more attention towards the direct-to-consumer approach,” Staks revealed
“We previously launched but decided to take a step back and now we’re in the process of building up our online delivery capabilities.”
The direct-to-consumer format will enable Zushi to reach consumers as quickly as possible
Given the premium price that people are willing to pay for this product
Staks wants to ensure that the experience is preserved for every individual fortunate enough to acquire one of their bags
“We have a specified timeframe during which our products can remain on the shelves
we can maintain stringent quality control,” Staks explained
While Zushi continues to steal the spotlight
currently boasts around ten strains in rotation
Staks recently cultivated a variety of seeds he acquired from Europe
embarking on a search for the exceptional flavors of his youth
he will undertake a meticulous selection process to identify standout winners worthy of joining their award-winning catalog
when participating in a contest like Zalympix
he meticulously examines every batch or simply puts all his chips down on Zushi
“I felt compelled to carry on the Zushi legacy for as long as possible
I believe this strain has so much to offer
and it continues to exceed our expectations,” Staks explained
“We conduct numerous tests with Zushi
we aim for better quality and more pronounced flavors
Our use of live-soil facilities contributes to preserving those unique characteristics
Our plan is to explore different mediums and light spectrums to ascertain what Zushi prefers to express.”
we couldn’t overlook the recent Zushi rosin craze
Two-gram jars of their limited release in collaboration with West Coast Alchemy were fetching a staggering $1000 each
This price tag represents the highest ever seen for rosin
The remarkable hype surrounding Zushi flowers seamlessly transferred to their terpene-rich products
“The price point was determined by the market; it had nothing to do with us
The exclusivity and rarity of our collaboration with West Coast Alchemy played a significant role
We never produced these in large quantities; a few batches were exclusively reserved for family and friends.”
Keep a close eye on The Ten Co.’s website for upcoming flower releases and merchandise drops

In March 2015, a news report about a Buddhist statue on display at the Hungarian Natural History Museum in Budapest caused a big stir in China.
After seeing the statue, people from a village in East China’s Fujian province recognized it as Zhanggong Zushi, or Zhanggong Patriarch, a 1,000-year-old Buddhist statue stolen from Puzhao Temple in Yangchun village in 1995.
Budapest-based translator and journalist Li Zhen responded soon after learning about the villagers’ call for help. When he requested an interview from the museum and went to take photos of the statue, the statue’s then–owner, Dutch architect and collector Oscar van Overeem, withdrew it from exhibition.
Medical examinations and archeological assessments were conducted in 2013 by the collector to show the statue contains the mummified remains of a famous monk dating back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).
Li, along with other members of the Federation of Chinese Social Organizations in Hungary, played an active part in helping retrieve the statue, communicating with China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration, the Dutch authorities and the collector.
Xu Huajie, a Beijing-based lawyer who acted as lead counsel in the case, went with her team to the Fujian village several times to collect evidence, consulted Chinese and Dutch laws and international conventions on cultural heritage and held negotiations with the collector, which eventually broke down.
In December 2015, the Yangchun and Dongpu village committees, as co-owners of the relic, filed a suit against van Overeem in Fujian’s Sanming city and another in Amsterdam in May 2016.
It wasn’t until December 2018 that the district court of Amsterdam responded, dismissing the lawsuit and ruling the two village committees did not qualify as a litigant.
In 2020, the Sanming Intermediate People’s Court in Fujian province demanded van Overeem, who said he bought the statue in 1996 but failed to provide a receipt, return it.
Van Overeem lodged an appeal to the Fujian Provincial High People’s court, which in July 2022 ruled the statue was stolen and is an illegally exported cultural relic, upholding the original ruling of the lower court.
The high court added the statue embodies the traditional customs of southern Fujian and has a special meaning for the villagers, and therefore should be returned.

On Wednesday, my friends and I made our way over to Zushi Puzzle in Cow Hollow. Now, I wouldn’t call myself an extreme sushi aficionado, but I believe that if you’re not going to eat quality fish, you might as well not eat seafood at all. I had heard great things about Zushi Puzzle from real sushi Nazis, so I was game to make the long, hilly trek out to Lombard Street.
While we failed at getting the best seats in the house, we still got a good taste of what Zushi Puzzle had to offer. We ordered a variety: nigiri, chirashi, sashimi, rolls (yes, obviously, we are not sushi purists), wakame and tako su (seaweed and octopus salad, respectively), and… wait for it… live uni (sea urchin gonads). More about that later. For now, here are some photos of what we ate:
We left Zushi Puzzle full and satisfied. Next time I come back, I’ll definitely sit at the bar, but I can assure you that in any seat in the house, you’re served fresh and pretty amazing sushi.
As for the name Zushi Puzzle — I am still puzzled. I know that sushi (nigiri-style) is called Edomae nigirizushi in Japan, but I’m not sure what the “puzzle” part is about. Any of you readers know the backstory?

Petty Officer 2nd Class Daniel Krieger sat stoically in the courtroom of Yokohama District Court’s Yokosuka Branch as Rina Krieger detailed the events of July 9
Japanese authorities allege Daniel Krieger
a beach town near Yokosuka that’s popular with locals and U.S
He pleaded not guilty March 8 to four counts of bodily injury
Krieger that day consumed at least 11 alcoholic drinks over the course of several hours
She said her husband struggles with mood swings
lapses in memory and difficulty with balance
Rina Krieger eventually returned home that day
She believed him capable of getting home and staying out of trouble
“Now I regret leaving him alone,” she testified
Daniel Krieger became irate with her and that night left her several voice messages saying they as a couple “were over” and telling her: “You are dead.”
Rina Krieger testified that she interpreted those messages as drunken anger rather than legitimate threats
She also testified that she deleted those messages at her husband’s request
She admitted lying to police during a voluntary interview several days after the incident and telling them she had been drinking but her husband had not
She told prosecutors she also did this at her husband’s request because it would “look bad.”
Surveillance video played in court showed the couple arriving at Zushi; footage from later in the day showed Daniel Krieger slamming into the group
but an act of his disease,” Krieger’s defense attorney
told Stars and Stripes after the trial session
The brain injury occurred in January 2015 when Krieger attempted to break up a fight between two men
The American attacked him and he was left with a broken skull and brain hemorrhage
Krieger “was a very normal person” who was kind and loved his family but developed a “mental disorder caused by his head injury as well as his drinking problem,” he said
The next trial session is scheduled for May 13
A psychiatrist who examined Krieger will testify sometime in June
“We are confident that our defense will prevail,” he said
Way back in January, lo-fi iconoclast Dean Blunt starred in the video for “Token,” a single from Panda Bear’s highly underrated Buoys
Blunt was once again involved with ushering new Noah Lennox music into the world
As reader Jordan Randall points out, Blunt released a new mixtape called ZUSHI! on Friday via NTS
In addition to contributions from figures such as A$AP Rocky
it also contains two brand new Panda Bear collabs called “In Plain Sight” and “Moments.” The tracks push even farther into the stripped-down
tripped-out aesthetic Lennox explored on Buoys
presenting his voice largely unvarnished against a spare instrumental backdrop
These songs largely forgo the album’s dub elements
resulting in some of the most direct and plainspoken music in his catalog
Blunt’s full Zushi! project can be streamed here
This article originally referred to “In Plain Sight” and “Moments” as Panda Bear songs rather than Blunt songs featuring Panda Bear

so it’s a relatively private space that makes it easy to feel like you’re much farther from Tokyo than you actually are
so you won’t be at a loss if you want to bring your pet along for the weekend
There’s a big pool in the middle of the site
but when it’s too cold for swimming you can take a hot bath in your bathing suit on your terrace as you watch the sunset over the sea
Even the facility’s sauna has a big window to give you a panoramic view of the ocean
so you’ll be able to spend every moment gazing out at the line where the sky meets the sea.
you can use the barbecue on your cabin's terrace to grill a feast of steaks and fresh seafood
You'll also get side dishes like whitebait and vegetable-topped pizza
Breakfast is an assortment of toasted sandwiches
The three standard cabins can fit up to two people each
while the Deluxe Space cabin has a capacity of five people
Accommodation packages start from ¥20,900 per person per night
