    Mr. Honda (74)… Soba Master Mr. Takeshita (81)… Mr. Fujii (68)

    These are the people Japan considers “middle-aged”?! I’ve heard that Japanese people have long lifespans, but calling an 81 year-old “middle aged” seems a bit optimistic.

      Yet, somehow, my brain managed to think the sentence was referring to people from the Middle Age… In hindsight, these are rather young :)
