Ninja snack
I saw both of them and I guess I picked them before, they are pretty good. Comedy "Shinning" and Horror "Merry Poppins".
10 craziest Japanese products. Some were picked from this book and Yes!! we have crazy ice cream a lot in this country. (Sorry link is dead). This post is funny too "Japan's Most Perverse Video Games". Hmm No1 is "Cho Aniki"! I agree, it's a legendary crazy game. I remember my co-worker used Cho Aniki crazy screen saver at work and I was so annoyed.
I read Noda Nagi's new hair art work in May, Kyle send me her official page. Cute!! I like the rabbit one. 、ォ、・、、、。。Thank you Kyle!!
I mentioned this year's key words are metabolism, saving and ecology. In Osaka, monkeys in the public zoo have a serious metabolism issue and people tried to help them lose weight by light foods. Look at this: their stomachs are ...wow. We can't laugh, that is someone's responsibility.
Tohato has released a new snack "Fuwa maru". "Fuwa maru" is a very soft puff corn snack that melts in your mouth as if a Ninja disappeared suddenly. They had a sales campaign in Shinjuku station with a Ninja (a costumed part-time job worker, I guess). Foreign travelers enjoyed to take photos with him. Tohato is not so prominent a maker like Calby or Glico, but I like their snacks. The caramel corn has the most cute package and I love the Habanero series (my favorite one is Jolokia, it's super sour hot). If you have a chance, never miss Harvest, it's a very light and crispy thin biscuit.
