Mammoth Meat !?

Found mammoth meat chips.


Siberian salt flavor. Siberian salt, um?

*Does not contain mammoth meat.

I just double-checked it's not dog food before I ate it. 0 point.

Kichijoji Anime Wonder Festival

I ran across an anime event at Inokashira park. Here is a couple of movies. Both of the singers are kind of legendary figures in Japanese anime songs; Takako Ota from Creamy Mami and Masayuki Yamamoto from Time Bokan series.

Higanbana


Street Buttle Team

I've seen 'fack you' several times but this one is new to me. Maybe it's some kind of street fight using one's butt. Just imagine, it's funny.

UFO

I came across a UFO picture while I was organizing my photo archive. It's an Adamski-type UFO. I'm so glad I didn't get abducted. Maybe UFO abduction happens only in the US.

Okonomi-yaki
Stuffed pancake/crepe. It usually has a variety of ingredients - pork, squid, cabagge, egg... and it's topped with sweet Worcestershire-like sauce, fish flakes and seaweed flakes. Okonomi means "what you like" so you can put whatever you like.

Chocolate Banana
We call it "choco" banana.
