BIOGRAPHY

Hana Satō was born in Japan on 30 April 1914.

Her 106th birthday party was held at a nursing home, where she expressed her ambition to live to be 110 years old. On her 109th birthday, she changed her goal to 120, and it was reported that she had a good appetite. She is also known to drink beer during the Respect for the Aged Day celebrations. Every year on her birthday, her family attends a party and sends her congratulatory flowers and birthday messages.
