She credits a healthy appetite and getting plenty of rest for her longevity. Okawa was born in 1898 - the year that the United States annexed the Hawaiian islands, a new drink named Pepsi-Cola was launched and the USS Maine exploded in Havana harbor. Accepting bouquet from well-wishers at a small party in the nursing home where she lives in the western city of Osaka, Okawa sat by the cake, decorated with &quot;116&quot; in candles, and later pronounced it as &quot;delicious.&quot; She wore a pink kimono patterned with cherry blossoms and a blue cardigan for the event.</p><br clear="all"/>
