I NEEED .. A Takoyaki Maker

I need one so badly..!! if you ever tried a takoyaki before (octopus balls).. you would know you have to  eat it again.  And like right now..! i would kill to eat one . .hahah!! ok ok.. i was exaggerating.  Octopus Balls or Takoyaki are very popular not only in Japan.. but most parts of Asia.  You can find it at food bazaars or any food fest. It’s also cheap .. to buy them.. so you can imagine.. making them on your own.. can be really affordable.. once you know how.  Kids will love it… a great snack for after school..and they can even help out.. with cooking it.  Easy peasy .. at $159 .. i think it is a good investment.

Soy Sauce Bottle

Trust the Japanese to come up with such a cute and sensible way where you can keep your soya sauce to go with your sushi.. or congee. It is air tight, so no worries about leaking .. and easy to carry about. Good for vinegar and any thin sauce. Not microwavable safe.

Boating Supply Store

Many people may not know this but certain parts of Japan are actually fishing communities.  In Hokkaido alone I’ve seen so many places and fishermen and these people are very good at what they do.  I’ve had the freshest sushi there in Hokkaido and they are among the most hospitable people that I’ve ever met during my stay as an exchange student in Japan.

For them I wish i could have gotten them some boat accessories from American Marine Supply, they have just about anything that your boat might need.  Whether it is marine supplies or just fanciful accessories they have it all and for those people you can’t seem to buy for you can even get gift certificates.  Don’t miss out on their monthly specials as well; this month they have these inflatable canoes which are great for family camping trips.

Fresh Breath For Men

Trust the Japanese to come up with something like this.  This drink is said to keep away bad breath - so said the tobacco manufacturer.  This is just like your soft drinks .. that you buy from any stores.. and vending machines. The ingredients used is rosemary extract and because of it.. they believed it can help to keep away bad breath.

Paper Thin Cell Phone

Some 15 years ago, i was in Japan for a business trip and a cell phone was required for keeping in contact with the Singapore office.  They didn’t use GSM phones then.. so i had to loan one when i was in Narita Airport, but i was amazed at how light and think the phone was.  It was paper thin.. and didn’t look or feel real at all, a toy phone my boss had laughed. A cell phone repeater would be nice, since we had to go to some remote warehouse out in the jungle but alas they didn’t provide it.

Manga Your Love Story

Trust the Japanese to come up with putting your love story on Manga.  Sakura Comics provides this cute idea .. and you can turn your very own love story .. from the time you met to the time you proposed but it is sure expensive..!! at about $2K for a 16 page manga.. ! wow..!!  but of course if you want black and white manga.. it would be alot cheap.. about ¥29,800 .. which is about $298 Canadian..??  after there .. give and take.  Quite the crazy japanese .. if you asked me.

Japanese Mayo

This is Japanese Mayo.. and some may say.. mayo is mayo.. but you are darn wrong.. because nothing beats the Japanese mayo. Kewpie Mayo is what it is called in Japan and the this mayo is alot more expensive than those you find here in the West. And nope.. can’t get it here in the West either.

Japanese Girls Are Kawaii

Yes…amongst all my japanese girlfriends.. i never came across one that asked me about the best diet pill, i kid you not.  Unlike, the west.. whereby .. most kids and adults are obese, you are unlikely to find any here.  I guessed it must be the food they eat.. and what of course if you were obese in Japan.. you probably wouldn’t find very much clothings to wear… afterall, everyone is petite there.
