Man Wearing Jeans And Long-Sleeve Shirt On Hot Day Says “Atsui Ne” www.therisingwasabi.com

A local man choosing to wear jeans and a long-sleeve garment on a 33°C day has said “Atsui ne”.
“Acchii naa,” 36-year-old local man Shinji Honda said this morning.
A recent study by the Japan Meteorological Agency has revealed that close to 80% of the Japanese male population make the conscious decision to wear jeans and long-sleeved items of clothing when it’s hot.
Temperatures hit peak “atsui-ne” levels across the country a couple of months ago but long-sleeve sightings are still common.
When asked about the phenomenon, local Chiba man Ase Darake said, “Japanese have always worn jeans and long-sleeves in summer, so we see no reason to change”.
