【バンコク＝阿部雄太、豊浦潤一】河野外相は１日、バンコクで韓国の康京和（カンギョンファ）外相と会談した。韓国人元徴用工の訴訟をめぐる問題や、日本政府による韓国への輸出管理の厳格化についての協議は進展しなかった。２日の日米韓外相会談では、日韓関係も議題となる見通しだ。

Hooters isn’t about to let Bob Dylan or Guy Fieri corner the market on premium spirits.
Earlier this week, the restaurant chain announced its very own line of premium “Hooters Spirits,” to be available at restaurants and select “leading retailers” come autumn.

会談前に握手する河野太郎外相（左）と韓国の康京和外相＝１日、バンコク（ＥＰＡ時事）
【バンコク時事】河野太郎外相は１日、韓国の康京和外相とバンコクで会談し、２国間の懸案事項を協議した。輸出の優遇措置を適用する「ホワイト国」から韓国を除外する日本政府の方針について、康氏は回避を要請。しかし、日本政府は除外に向けた政令改正を２日にも閣議決定する構え。河野氏は、徴用工問題で前向きな打開策を示さない韓国に対し、改めて対応を迫った。
【ソウル＝岡部雄二郎】朝鮮中央通信は１日、北朝鮮が新たに開発した「大口径操縦ロケット砲」の試験発射が７月３１日に初めて行われ、
朝鮮中央通信によると、正恩氏は新たなロケット砲について「本当にすごい。標的となる勢力にとっては悩みの種になる」と述べた。
韓国軍は、北朝鮮が７月２５日に「新型戦術誘導兵器」を発射した際、ロシア製「イスカンデル」の飛行特性を持つ新型の短距離弾道ミサイルと断定し、３１日の発射についても同タイプの兵器とみていた。だが、北朝鮮が今回写真を公開した大口径操縦ロケット砲は、新型戦術誘導兵器よりも細身で、形状に違いがある。
韓国軍合同参謀本部は１日、今回のロケット砲について「新型の短距離弾道ミサイルだとする米韓当局の評価に変わりはない。公開された写真を詳しく分析する」と発表した。
一般にロケット砲は、大砲と同じように誘導なしで飛ぶが、飛行中の軌道修正や目標物の追尾といった機能を備えれば、ミサイル（誘導弾）との区別は曖昧になる。北朝鮮が「操縦ロケット砲」と呼んでいるのは、こうした機能を指している可能性がある。今回の発射が、イスカンデル型弾道ミサイルではなかった場合、性能の似た別々の兵器を短期間に発射し、米韓のかく乱を狙ったと指摘される。
ロケット砲は、ソウルや在韓米軍基地への攻撃を想定して軍事境界線付近に多数配備されており、誘導装置を加えることで命中精度を向上させようとした可能性もある。

7月31日早朝、北朝鮮は東部から日本海に向けて2発の飛翔体を発射しました。韓国軍はこれを短距離弾道ミサイルだと推定しましたが、翌8月1日に北朝鮮のメディアは「大口径誘導多連装ロケット」の試射を行ったと発表しています。
7月31日に発射された飛翔体について韓国軍の観測数値では水平距離250km、最大高度30kmを飛んだと合同参謀本部から発表されています。これは発射角度が浅い弾道（ディプレスト軌道）であり、しかも高度がかなり低いため空気抵抗の影響を大きく受けてしまい飛距離が稼げません。試射時の空気抵抗の影響を加味した上で、この飛翔体を最もよく飛ぶ角度で発射した通常軌道の場合は400～500km近くは飛べる計算になります。そのため、観測数値が正しいのであれば韓国軍が短距離弾道ミサイルと判断したのは妥当なものでした。北朝鮮版イスカンデル短距離弾道ミサイル（KN-23）を発射条件を変えて試射したと考えられたのです。
しかし翌8月1日の北朝鮮の発表ではイスカンデルではなく大型ロケット弾でした。過去に確認されている北朝鮮の多連装ロケットで最も大きなものは300mm8連装ロケット「KN-09」で、2016年の試射の際は水平距離200km、最大高度50kmでした。これがKN-09の通常軌道であり最大射程であるとすると、今年7月31日に発射された飛翔体はKN-09の性能を大きく超えています。KN-09の改良型か、あるいはより大きな直径400mm級の新型ロケット弾である可能性が高くなります。
8月1日午後に朝鮮中央テレビが7月31日に発射された「大口径誘導多連装ロケット」の映像を公開しました。発射機には映像にモザイクが掛けられ詳細が分かりませんでしたが、KN-09より大きなロケット弾を搭載したランチャーをキャタピラ式の車両に搭載しているように見えます。また発射されたロケット弾についてはKN-09のように尖端部分に小さな操舵翼を装着していることが不明瞭な映像ですが確認できます。これは簡易な誘導方式であり、イスカンデル短距離弾道ミサイルのように滑空しながら上下に軌道変更を繰り返す複雑な飛び方はできません。ロケット弾は単純な放物線を描いて飛ぶので迎撃そのものは容易です。しかし多連装であるので数が撃てます。複数発射機で一斉射撃して何十発と同時に撃ち込む飽和攻撃を仕掛けることで、迎撃を突破する方法です。
大型ロケット弾は日本までは届きませんが韓国にとっては大きな脅威です。北朝鮮は7月25日に短距離弾道ミサイルを発射し7月31日に大型ロケット弾を発射しましたが、8月5日から米韓合同演習「19-2同盟」が開始されることに合わせて更なる反発を示す威嚇行為を行ってくる可能性があります。
Waiters prepare for dinner as projections adorn the dining room wall of Chef Paul Pairet's Ultra Violet (UV) restaurant in Shanghai, China on 28 September 2013. Serving only a dozen patrons per meal, UV is quickly making a reputation for itself as it
Corbis via Getty ImagesWhether you have to go through a secret doorway, take a separate elevator or follow an unusual path, there’s something exciting about visiting a “hidden” restaurant. You’ll be seated feeling happy that you found your destination and ready to eat something delicious. Here are four restaurants around the world where locating the establishment is half the fun.
1. Frevo
If you want to surprise a date or family member visiting New York City, this restaurant truly has that wow factor — that’s because you’ll sneakily have to go behind a painting in an art gallery to visit this boîte. Located on 48 W 48thStreet you’ll step into a gallery filled with the works of French painter Toma-L and once you locate the largest painting in there, you’ll know this is also the door to Frevo, an 18-seat counter restaurant. Once seated, you can enjoy a five-course dinner which serves dishes like crab, curry, and broccoli as a starter or chicken, gnocchi, and mushroom as a main. The kitchen operates under the watchful eye of Brazilian Chef Franco Sampogna and the restaurant reaches out to you beforehand to ask for any dietary restrictions. So, once you arrive at the gallery all you need to do is pick the right painting to let you into this one of a kind restaurant.
2. Ultraviolet (Pictured Above)
This Shanghai restaurant has the trifecta of hidden fine dining — it’s unmarked, extremely exclusive and an unforgettable culinary experience. Since 2012 Chef Paul Pairet has impressed diners with his avant garde take on fine dining which involves everything from lighting and scents to video and audio production. This experience plays out alongside inventive dishes and drinks served to only ten guests per night. Don’t expect to just walk into this restaurant — its location is so top secret that you’ll be brought there by minivan. A lift will take you to your dining room where you’ll be immersed in a culinary spectacle guaranteed to entertain your mind and tantalize your palate.
3. Cookies
I recommend allocating at least five minutes to finding Berlin’s Cookies restaurant because there’s a chance you can’t locate it immediately — I know I wasn’t able to. The website handily lets you that “when you think you’re lost – you’re right.” Once you enter, you’ll walk through a cavernous space until you get to the playful dining room where all the action happens. Cookies is a vegetarian restaurant but meat lovers, don’t worry, you won’t even miss anything because this plant-based restaurant will satiate any and all cravings. I fondly remember the Parmesan dumplings served with with Perigord truffle stock pine, chives and spinach. It was an umami bite that I can’t wait to have the next I go to Berlin. Added bonus, this time I know exactly where to go!
Why eat sushi in a restaurant when you can have it in a hotel suite? Sushi By Bou Suite 1001 is a sushi speakeasy which can only accessed behind a hidden door in the Hotel 3232. You’ll arrive in the lobby where you’ll be presented with a key to the 10th floor. There you’ll partake in a 17-piece omakase dining experience for $100. Aside from delicious sushi you’ll also enjoy the ambiance and décor of this decked-out suite which comes with chic wallpapered walls and sumptuous leather seating areas. This intimate sushi experience is a great date spot and you won’t forget about your stay at Suite 1001 so quickly.
In a less-than-scientific poll, I asked readers of the Times' El Paso History facebook page to chime in on which El Paso restaurants they wish were still open. There were more than 600 comments and lots of nostalgia. Here are the results:
Tied at number 5 are Chopsticks at Cielo Vista Mall and the recently closed Elmer’s Family Restaurant on Montana Avenue.
Although Chopsticks is now closed, former owner Francisco "Paco" Wong Jr. owns Paco Wong's on the West Side.
Elmer’s, which closed in June after a lease dispute, was known for its fried chicken. In 1957, Elmer and Jewel Poulsen built Elmer's Drive-In on Hawkins Way, followed by Elmer's Chicken Cottage, which quickly became a favorite of El Pasoans. In 1962, missing the close contact he previously had with his customers at their first restaurant, Poulsen designed and built Elmer's Coffee Shop on Montana.

At number 4 is La Paloma. On Sep. 11, 2006, Times reporter Darren Meritz reported that the restaurant would be closing at the end of the year:
A Northeast El Paso staple in Mexican food that’s served popular dishes to local patrons for 47 years is closing its doors at the end of the year as its proprietor looks forward to retirement after decades of running the popular business.
Edna Esparza, after building La Paloma In the Northeast and operating the restaurant since 1959, is leaving behind a career that helped put her children through college and provided thousands of dishes to regular patrons throughout the community.
Esparza, who is selling the property at 9225 Dyer but not the restaurant’s name, is leaving behind La Paloma, which was begun by her father-in-law as a small stand, then a restaurant on Delta Street before moving to the Northeast. …
“The recipes that we have are the original recipes that my father-in-law set up in 1949," she said. "We tried to follow his recipes because he was a great restaurateur. So was my husband. So why change a great thing?”

Moe’s, which was at 6298 Alameda Ave., comes in third. Moe’s was founded in 1953 by Moises “Moe” Dominguez. The business started as a bar with a limited food menu but transformed over the years to a family-style restaurant.
Victor R. Martinez wrote about Moe’s in the April 11, 2013, Times:
It had been at least 10 years since I'd sat in the vinyl booths at Moe's Restaurant in South-Central El Paso. ...
I am happy to report that nothing has changed much at Moe's, which is celebrating 60 years of serving down-home, traditional Mexican food.
The decor is still 1950s chic, with vinyl booths and a mixture of vintage family portraits of the original owners and prints of Mexican villages.
For some reason, Moe's is often overlooked when people talk about "the best of’ El Paso."
Perhaps it's because Moe's is off the beaten path, hidden deep in one of El Paso's oldest barrios.
Whatever the case may be, it was nice to rediscover how Moe's has continued to serve loyal customers for six decades. …
It's the type of place you would take an out-of-town visitor who wants a real sense of what El Paso Mexican food is all about — great food and good prices in an unpretentious atmosphere.
Second in votes is The Iron Tender, known for their steak soup. On May 18, 1972, an ad in the paper announced, “Iron Tender is coming May 22.” The location was McRae at Interstate 10 (1270 Giles Road)
In a March 14, 1976, “Dining Out” review, Rhoda Milnarich wrote: The dinner menu features steak with prices going up to $12.50 (for two). The beef is grain fed prime beef from Ft. Worth. Top sirloin, filet, New York strip, eye of rib and sirloin are served. All steaks are about two inches thick.
Steaks are prepared over a grill and served either alone or with chicken or lobster tail. …
The restaurant takes its name from the man who took care of the branding irons on cattle round ups. ... To carry out the western theme, the waitresses wear long skirts (but the cocktail waitresses wear minis) and the men wear ranch attire.
The restaurant tried a West Side location, at Interstate 10 and Executive Center Boulevard, but on Jan 11, 1987, ran this ad: Iron Tender East is now the one and only. We love the west Side, but we’ve been unable to come to terms with our landlord. So, for now we’re putting all our Iron Tender irons in one fire at our original location. … The Iron Tender at McRae. Yesterday was the last day of business at our Executive Center location.
The Iron Tender closed Jan. 30, 1991, due to financial difficulties.
The steak soup was popular enough that a Jan. 2, 2008, ad boasted that Jaxon’s restaurant was serving Iron Tender steak soup.
I found a Sep. 11, 1996, column that purported to have the Iron Tender steak soup recipe:
1 lb. sirloin steak
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup tomato, fresh, chopped
½ teaspoon celery salt
½ teaspoon seasoning salt
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons oil
6 tablespoons flour
6 cups beef broth
½ teaspoon of garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 to 2 tablespoons of Kitchen Bouquet to darken.
Cube the sirloin, brown in a skillet using a little fat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Sauté the vegetables and add browned meats and seasoning to the pan with the vegetables.
To make the gravy, heat the oil and add the flour. Stir until the flour mix (roux) is browned, but not burned. Pour in half of the broth and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining broth to the beef mixture and simmer until the meat is tender.
Combine all the ingredients and simmer for another 1½ hours. Makes about 6 to 8 servings.
The restaurant with the most votes for the one El Pasoans wish was still open is Pancho’s Mexican Buffet, 1407 McRae Blvd.
We all remember raising the flag to attract a server and the sopapillas.
On May 10, 2001, the Times ran an article by Louie Gilot, about the death of Lilia Natalia De-Cory Arrambide, one of the founders of Pancho’s:
In 1964, Arrambide, her husband, Jesus Arrambide, and her son, Jesus Arrambide Jr., opened Pancho’s Mexican Buffet on Alameda Avenue. The restaurant became popular for its 99-cent Mexican-food buffets.
The chain spread throughout the Southwest and grew into a Fort Worth-based, publicly traded corporation. …

At the beginning of April, Pancho’s Mexican Buffet Inc. announced it had reached an agreement to be sold to Pancho’s Restaurants Inc., an affiliate of Steven Oyster of Austin, for $7 million.
Lilia Arrambide was active in the corporation until the mid-1980s, family members said.
She was born in Casas Grandes, Mexico, in 1907, the youngest of eight children of parents who owned and operated silver and gold mines, but were forced by Pancho Villa’s Villistas to immigrate to the United States during the Mexican revolution of 1910. The family settled in El Paso when Arrambide was 10.
She married Jesus Arrambide, and the couple weathered the Great Depression thanks to Jesus Arrambide’s income at the Colon Theater, El Paso’s first Spanish language theater. …
“As Arrambide’s husband’s health faltered, Arrambide opened her first restaurant, Frank’s, in Downtown El Paso, and discovered the mass appeal of the 99-cent buffet. …
“There were lines out the door," said her grandson, El Paso commercial real estate broker Roland Correa. "She really was an innovator.”
