SAC cafe

Ha ha ha, this sumo match looks like a super fight. But I can tell real sumo is really great, it doesn't need any special effects. I don't like entertainment fights like Pro-wrestling or recent show-type matches in Japan. Look at this, that giant guy with dummy is an ex-Yokozuna (sumo champion Akebono). Hmm, pitiful.

These are just cooking toys for kids, but they look very nice! 'Home Sweet Doughnut' makes baked doughnuts with cake mix in your kitchen microwave. Non-fried, they can't be called doughnuts, but it's much better about calories. And this is good too: 'I love chips'. You can make chips in the microwave without frying. That's lower-calorie, too. Potatoes, apples, any veggie would be good. Did you know lotus chips are really good, too? Try it.

Mitsuya cider is a clear cider (soda) that I loved when I was a kid. Since I drink non-calorie Coke or Pepsi only, I hardly ever drink it now. I found their web site has some recipes with cider. I knew and wrote that you can cook delicious pork with coke in your rice cooker. Since cider is clear, there are more variations. I like the cider salad dressing idea with lemon juice, salt, pepper, mustard and olive oil. I guess kids would love to eat salad with that. Cider pickles is good too, boiled vegetable pickle in cider, vinegar and soup stock. Try them with some clear cider.

Ah! talking about clear cider, we have KIRIN LEMON too.  Last year, Production IG made their TV ad. Here it is. There was another version in this series that got a TV ad award in Holland; I am still looking for that one. By the way, Cure maid is a maid cafe in Akihabara. They sometimes have event weeks, last one was Evangelion week. They serve Misato curry or such eva-related food. This time, it will be Ghost in the shell stand alone complex; they will serve laughing man hotcakes, Tachikoma Jelly, etc,.and sell SAC items. Now Japan's official SAC site shows a 'TACHIKO MAP', you can see many Tachikoma in real life, click next and new on the snap memo. CUTE!! I love Tachikoma.

Ghost in the Shell week? I'm so sad I missed it! However, I don't think my wife would let me go to a "maid cafe" anyway.

As I always say, the Tachikoma were my favorite characters. They seemed far more "human" than many of the human characters in that show. (They also seemed smarter and more effective.)
