Nogawa K 1981 Itai-itai disease and follow-up studies. In: Jerome O Nriagu, ed., Cadmium in the environment. Part II Health effects. New York. John Wiley & Sons; 1–37. Jinzu was launched in 2014 and was the invention of Dee Davis, an English bartender who created it a year earlier as an entrant to Diageo’s Show Your Spirit competition – which he won. Recommended serves of this 41.3 % spirit are Indian tonic and green apple, but it is also enjoyable supped neat, with a very passing resemblance to those cherry menthol sweets for sore throats, but in a far, far more subtle and pleasing way. The present study is the first report to clarify the final disease stages of patients with Itai-itai disease who suffered from severe renal tubular dysfunction and osteomalaecia. However, 184 patients with Itai-itai disease who died before the starting baseline survey in 1979 and 41 patients who died from 1979 to 1981 were not included as subjects of the primary cohort study, because the baseline survey was conducted from 1979 to 1984. Autopsy was generally performed in Toyama University Hospital after 1979, but only 12 autopsy cases were reported between 1955 and 1977. 4 Therefore, the present study is limited in the recruitment of patients with Itai-itai disease who died in the 1970s. Matsuda et al conducted a 15-year follow-up survey targeting highlyexposed residents in the Jinzu River basin, including patients with Itai-itai disease who died in the 1970s before our baseline survey, but they only reported increased mortality risk ratio for all causes of death in the residents with renal tubular dysfunction. 11

In a bid to tap into the gin craze that shows no signs of slowing down, the trend for Japanese-inspired versions of the spirit has been sweeping the UK. Made with a variety of exotic ingredients, these gins contain one distinctly Japanese element that makes them perfect for spring. The key botanical is cherry blossom, the symbolic flower that is celebrated at festivals around Japan each spring. Hashimoto, M. (1988).

Some of the most popular include the force sensitive NPCs on Dantooine, as well as the Witches of Dathomir, both Nightsisters and Singing Mountain Clan, who can be found most anywhere on Dathomir.

This tasty gin is exactly as quoted on the bottle and above – and is yet another find from our trusty Gin Scouts, Bill and Lesley. Jinzu Gin is distilled in Scotland yet is presented with a very Japanese style of painting on the bottle depicting cherry branches and blossom. Its name also giving a hint of the anomalous treasures within and apparently named after Japan’s Jinzu River, which is lined with thousands of cherry trees.

This special mixture is conversation-starter required to break the ice at that dull party you?ve been dragged to by your significant other. A clear, dry gin, Jinzu feels soft in your mouth and is quite an experience. The combination of English juniper berries and Japanese cheery blossom is an inspiration; more gins should have this combination!

Jinzu Gin is a Scottish made, Japan inspired gin with an English woman at its heart. Designed by bartender Dee Davies for Diageo’s Show Your Spirit competition in 2013 (which it went on to win), the gin is a fantastic example of East meets West, with traditional gin botanicals joining cherry blossom, yuzu and sake to form a distinctive gin with a real sense of place.

Kasuya (Eds.), Advances in the prevention of environmental cadmium pollution and countermeasures: Proceedings of the International Conference on Itai-itai disease, Environmental Cadmium Pollution and Countermeasures, Toyama, Japan. 13–16 May, 1998 (pp. 213–214). Kanazawa: Eiko Laboratory. Dee suggests green apple as her perfect garnish in a G&T – both because the acid in the fruit interacts well with the sake and because it makes a polite tip of the hat to her Somerset roots. There is a hint of that apple crispness about the gin, so we’d definitely side with her on that suggestion. Otherwise, we’d go for something like candied cherry blossom which is beautiful in both looks and taste. Friberg L, Elinder CG, Kjellstrom T, Nordberg GF. Cadmium and health: a toxicological and epidemiological approach, vol. Vol 1, 2. Boca Raton: CRC Press; 1986. filed a suit against the company and won their case in 1972. The victims received compensation and signed a pollution control agreement with the company. The case of Itai-itai disease is a rare example of successful pollution control in Japan, because the ensuing 40-year annual inspections, based on the pollution control agreement, show that cadmium concentrations in the river have been reduced to natural levels. By analyzing the roles of various experts involved, this case study has contributed substantially to the understanding of the nature of expertise and the significance of public participation in the resolution of environmental problems. The author suggests some lessons learned from the Itai-itai case are applicable to the environmental regeneration
