Anti-aging Blue Ramen this summer

Most people knows that Ramen is a famous Japanese noodle dish.
But have you heard about “blue ramen”?

“Blue Ramen” is a new creation by a Ramen shop in Nihonbashi. It will be available only for a limted period of time during summer. Its base is shio Ramen and can you image? As cool as it looks with the blue coloring, it is served cold too.

Frankly, I can’t imagine how the taste will be, because never had I in my life, tasted a Ramen that comes with cold soup (・_・?)

However, I wouldn’t think twice about trying it because it was said to contain phycocyanin that aids in anti-aging and anti-oxidation.
Wow! Doesn’t that sound like a “high-tech” Ramen? o(^-^)o

And what is the response of netizens towards “Blue Ramen”?
“It just looks like poison to me”, “The coloring makes me lose my appetite” were some of the negative remarks.

Well, I will reserve my opinion until I had tried it.

Price: 850yen

Beautiful sisters of Japan

Beautiful with great style, they are known as the beauty siblings in Japan.
The eldest is Carena Michibata, followed by Jessica Michibita and the youngest, Angelica Michibata. They are full-time model and talent, no qualms about it with their “super long legs” and charisma.

— Does the face of Jessica Michibita (center) ring a bell? She is well-known for her high profile relationship with Jenson Button, British Formula One driver. —

They are “LIVE EXAMPLES” that heredity plays a part in beauty.
Most probably, their exotic looks came from their father who is a mix between Argentine & Italy.

Without doubts, they make lots of heads turn on the streets.
Ok, enough about the envy. Everyone’s life is special in their own way, I think (*’-^)

Rilakkuma for a toddler

He cries his way to nursery everyday.
Deciding that he needs a companion, Rilakkuma was chosen for the task to encourage and give him strength.

I bought Rilakkuma back. For the first time, I checked Rilakkuma thoroughly. It is amazing to know that despite having such small body, he has a big, heavy head. He looks very unproportional, but soon I realized that the design was intentionally to bring out the cuteness in Rilakkuma. Somehow Rilakkuma resembles his soon-to be little friend (@^-^@)

He likes Rilakkuma very much.
Rilakkuma became a close “friend” soon, and everyday he will try to stuff Rilakkuma into his bag which is way too small to fit in Rilakkuma. With Rilakkuma’s head popping out of the bag, he brings Rilakkuma to nursery and embraces Rilakkuma in his sleep everyday. Sometimes he wraps his hand around the neck of Rilakkuma. Other times, he will just seize one of the ears of Rilakkuma carrying it around.

HE is my NEPHEW.
My nephew had overcame the fear of nursery and now he loves going there!
Rilakkuma has opened his heart. My strategy worked! v(*^-^*)v
And all thanks to Rilakkuma.

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

House with a courtyard

Stumbled upon an interesting house on my way to lunch.
An intentional squarish roof was cut to make way for the outgrown tree, which already had part of its body protruding out. Apparently, this house has a courtyard.

Owning to this tree, catching a glimpse of the blue sky, the sound of the falling rain,
the dappled sunlight that shined through, all takes place in this one courtyard.
I am into my fantasies again… m(_ _ )m
Having a courtyard is just so awesome!

The presence of this tree must have a great significant to this family.
A plain and ordinary tree, that holds many wonderful memories of the past and is no doubt going to hold many more beautiful memories in the years that comes.

UV protection (Hat)

Most Japanese women has extreme high awareness towards ultraviolet rays especially during summer. They always take care to protect from exposure to sun as much as possible. Hats become common “shield” against UV.

So I saw this commercial about this interesting “UV protection hat” on TV.
This hat was said to 99% cut UV out . See the idea? Fully covered from the face right down to the neck. Even eyes are spared from UV since sunglasses come with the set!

It could be useful for people who spend a lot of time outdoor. (Erm, I don’t have any need for these at the moment though…)

I am afraid that I have no answer to the the sales volume if you are curious about it (^_-)
