Do the dog breeds Patterdale Terrier and Shikoku both originate in Japan?
Shikoku (dog) The Shikoku (四国犬 , Shikoku-ken , alternative names: Kochi-ken, Mikawa Inu, Japanese Wolfdog) is a native, primitive Japanese breed of dog from Shikoku island that is similar to a Shiba Inu. The Shikoku was recently added as recognized breed of the American Kennel Club as an AKC FSS standard [ Foundation Stock Service ], it is recognized by the Japan Kennel Club, an organization recognized by AKC as an official foreign registry (AKC recognizes the Shiba Inu, however). The Shikoku is also in the Canadian Kennel Club Hound group and the United Kennel Club, awaiting full recognition. In 1937 the Japanese Crown recognized the Shikoku dog as a living "natural monument" of Japan.
Horumonyaki Horumonyaki (Japanese: ホルモン焼き ) is a kind of Japanese cuisine made from beef or pork offal. Kitazato Shigeo, the chef of a "yōshoku" restaurant (one that specializes in Western-derived cuisine) in Osaka devised this dish and registered a trademark in 1940. It was originally derived from Yakiniku, a Japanese adaption of Korean barbecue. The name "horumon" is derived from the word "hormone", which means "stimulation" in Greek. The name "horumon" is also similar to the Kansai dialect term "hōrumon" (放る物), which means "discarded goods". Horumonyaki has a reputation for being a "stamina building" food.
