Weird Japanese Food Items

Yeah, I know, Japanamania. Couldn't resist sharing these neat and somewhat bizarre foodstuffs (and food-related) stuff I found in Japan.



single serving glass of wine with sardine-can top from the Muji flagship store



my favorite- milk in a tube. huh?



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.)

    I know there are so many weird stuff, but I saw a couple of things you misunderstood in your post...

    The "milk tube" is not regular milk in tube. It's ”condensed milk". It's actually pretty handy.

    The price of Kobe beef, the price tags says $15-$25/kg (=$6-$9/lb), not $200/lb...

    cheers.

      Thanks cc- I did later realize the milk was condensed, but it's still funny because I have only ever seen it in a can before.

      Also the meat is actually priced per 100 grams, not per kg- so the price is $15-$25 per 100g, some of it even higher. Hence the high price tag!
