{laugh} Weird Japanese Food Items

Posted by offthemeathook on December 3rd, 2009

I couldn’t resist sharing these neat and somewhat bizarre foodstuffs (and food-related) stuff I found in Japan…

  • my favorite- milk in a tube. huh? (ok so it’s condensed milk… but still.)

  • wasabi-beef flavor chips. yuk.

  • a kit to make sushi look like soccer balls, to entice your kid to eat it. you’d have to be a REALLY nice mom or dad to go through all that trouble.



  • I have never seen curry like this in Vermont, myself.

  • Kobe and Matsuzaka beef for sale at Takashimaya- about $200/lb, raw (they were really mad that I took a picture, but I’m not sure why.)

    Have you seen the single-serving martinis BevMo is currently hocking? Plastic martini glasses with cosmos, choco-tinis, etc. with pull off lids. I was fascinated and revolted all at the same time.

    Yes! Those are so gross seeming. They are so… viscous. And oddly colored. Still, I’m with you, I’m a little fascinated by them!
