Dear members and friends of the Japan-Norway Society,

On August 28, the J-NS will be launching a new concept where we focus on providing presentations and lectures on Japan-Norway related business topics as well as an arena to meet and make new acquaintances.

The first topic will be given by Sindre Knutsson (MSc - LSE) from Rystad Energy (https://www.rystadenergy.com/) and the title is “A Global LNG Outlook from Japan’s Perspective”. Rystad Energy is considered by many to be a leading independent entity for Oil & Gas knowledge and consulting.

Sindre has specialized in Global LNG market and his article has recently been featured in journals like “LNG Industry”. His presentation will discuss the future deve...lopment in Japanese LNG demand and the global LNG market outlook.

This time we have been lucky to get the whole Grand Café Wine Cellar, to ourselves and there will be tapas included in the participation fee. The Grand Café Wine Cellar was recently refurbished and boasts one of the most extensive wine selections in Oslo. Drinks will be available for purchase at the bar.

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Japanese below] One very solid relationship between Norway and Japan is within the field of astrophysics. For this year's first Benkyoukai we have the great pleasure of inviting an avid J-NS member, Dr. Yoshiaki Kato from University of Oslo to tell us how an astrophysicist from the land of rising-sun ended up studying the sun in rather wintry and dark Norway. 

Dr. Kato is an expert on the extraordinary environment around black holes and stars and has previously worked at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) before coming to Norway as postdoctoral researcher (http://folk.uio.no/yoshiakk/).

This is not a scientific lecture and Dr. Kato will tell us things in an easy and informal way! 

For this February night we will be returning to warm and cozy atmosphere of coffee shop & bar "Café Rouleur" at St. Hanshaugen (http://rouleuroslo.no/). "Gutta fra Havet", a local fish deli, will deliver Chirashizushi especially made for the J-NS. (http://guttafrahavet.no/hanshaugen).

Participation Cost including Chirashizushi: Members: 110 kr, Non-members:130 kr.

We are looking forward to an enjoyable night so please join us!
Please register at event@j-ns.no by 10 February.

William Copeland (født 10. januar 1834 i Arendal i Aust-Agder, død 11. februar 1902 i Yokohama
 i Japan) var en norskfødt amerikansk entreprenør som hovedsakelig drev som ølbrygger i Japan. Historien er like spektakulær som den høres ut som. 

 For snart 150 år siden kjøpte skomakersønnen William Copeland en tomt og en vannkilde utenfor Yokohama. Malt var i manko, humle knapt å oppdrive, gjær måtte skipes over Stillehavet, og øl hadde nesten ikke blitt brygget i Japan før. Noen måneder senere var Spring Valley Brewery en realitet. Hans Morten Sundnes har skrevet boka om William Copeland og den lanseres å Smelteverket i Oslo tirsdag 6. desember kl 19.00.

 Oslo Brewing Co.åpnet sammen med Fuglen-gjengen nylig baren Øl by Oslo Brewing Co. i Shibuya – et lite stykke Øl-Norge i hjertet av Tokyo. Dermed henger de to historiene spesiell måte sammen. I nyere tid kom det for dagen at ”amerikanske” William Copeland var norsk: Johan Martinius Thoresen, var født i Arendal. Halvmystiske Copeland ble den første nordmannen som bosatte seg i Japan og representerer et startpunkt for norsk-japanske relasjoner. William Copeland er helt klart en nøkkelperson i japansk ølhistorie, og Spring Valley Brewery kan ses som en forløper til dagens drikkevaregigant Kirin. 

 Tirsdag 6. desember kl. 19.00 smelter disse to historiene sammen på Smelteverket i Maridalsveien! Denne kvelden blir hovedstadslanseringen av den spesielle biografien. Vi setter stemningen med ekte koto-harpe, Sundnes presenterer smakebiter av Copeland-eventyret, Oslo Brewing co. tar folk inn i sitt norsk-japanske ølventyr av året. Samtidig er dette en utmerket anledning til å bli venn med – eller enda bedre venn med – ølet som både Oslo og Tokyo har lagt sin elsk på. I baren blir det nyskapte drinker med smak av neon og glemte kilder, mens Smelteverkets kjøkkenet som alltid er på høyde med situasjonen. Arrangement er et samarbeid med forfatteren, The Japan-Norway Society og Oslo Brewing Co.

”William Copeland. Ølbryggeren ved verdens ende” gis ut på Bokbyen Forlag og vil være til salgs til Smelteverket-pris og gjerne signert denne kvelden.
