CoCo Curry Ichibanya / summer’s new curry

Its the second consecutive year of “summer time energy saving” plan in Japan, after the crippled of Fukushima nuclear plant, by the earthquake last year.

We had seen lots of innovative energy savings products being released to the markets since. And for once, CoCo curry Inchibanya (a famous chain store curry house in Japan) is determined to participate in this energy savings plan, with… GUESS what!!
“Cold curry” is going to be on CoCo’s summer menu starting from 1st-July.

But wait a minute. What has cold curry got to do with energy saving?
Believe me, that’s my question too. According to CoCo’s management, the whole idea is that “cold curry” is meant to cool you down just like what ice-cream do.

I doubt that the curry can cool down the heat, but their efforts is admired. After all, I could understand their desire to play a part in energy savings.

I can’t imagine the taste of cold curry.
Whatever its is, “cold curry” is going to be the world’s first.
Even “curry representative”, India is going to be shocked by this “cold curry” launch.
(My pure delusions m(_ _ )m )

Anyway, “cold curry” will be available only for a limited period until end August. Have a try yourself to find out the taste, if you are lucky to be in Japan during this period.
Price: 780yen

Japanese mochi – Monster Daifuku

Daifuku in monster design is out to beat traditional Daifuku.

If you are wondering what is a Daifuku, it is a type of traditional Japanese sweet consisting of round mochi stuffed with filling of sweet filling mainly, red bean paste (anko).

Despite feeling towards monsters is a mix one, the cute shape of monster Daifuku won the hearts of consumers. Response towards them are overwhelming.

“Edo Usagi”, a shop selling Japanese sweet, near JR Nippori station in Tokyo is the creator of monster Daifuku. They are selling at 1170yen for a box of 6. The choices available will be “Ichigo monster daifuku” and “Anzu monster Daifuku”.

I guess I won’t be trying any as I couldn’t bear to eat these. They just look too cute for food (>_<)

Unique Umbrella – Vegetabrella

“It is raining outside. Get your lettuce ready!”
So bet you thought the person who said so is nuts?

lettuce group

“Vegetabrella” is the most talked about umbrella in Japan. An umbrella that looks exactly like a lettuce when its folded. “Tokyo Noble” who designed and produced “vegetabrella”, has been trying to keep up with their production, after orders came pouring in.

How they made efforts to study the lettuce real closely is obvious. The coloring, wrinkled texturing came close to that of real lettuce. Even the fastener strap looks like that used in the supermarket to hold the lettuce together!

“Ermm… Why are you walking around with a lettuce?” Be prepared to be asked (o^-^o)  

And the good news. The surface is processed to cut out UV. So apart from rainy days, it is handy during summer days too. Lettuce umbrella is probably a good idea, if you are looking for something unique and creative for a present.

Pray hard they will come up with other veggies versions like pumpkins, eggplant, radish, etc. I would definitely love to see the streets flooded with vegetable umbrellas of all sorts and colors. Meanwhile, we will have to stick to lettuce umbrella for now.

So don’t get it mixed up with the real lettuces bought from supermarket. (^_-*)
