Re: Mai is a Japanese name, too
Thank you very much for your insight, Mai!
Allow me to ask you something: Does Mitsotaki mean "chicken soup" in Japanese? I've heard this story and I'd like to verify it. Constantine Mitsotaki is a conservative Greek politician, formerly Prime Minister.

Actually, I think you are referring to Mizutaki, which is a form of fire pot in which chicken and vegetables are cooked, and serving is made directly from that pot whilest it cooks on the table.
Actually, Mizu means water: taki means to be cooked in liquid. I don't think it has any bearing to a Greek politician, I am sorry to say:)
