Japanese Food

Kyoto fire ramen

March 19, 2012 by Yein Jee

A mini fire-show at a ramen restaurant [Jp] in Kyoto, Japan. Nothing magical, pour burning oil into water based liquid (vice versa) will do. Don’t try this at home ;)

I bet the gimmick will get them plenty of new customers, but it’s taste that matters most after all (not saying they are bad or anything). Hat tip to Japanprobe.

Miranda Kerr Japanese Lipton Commercial

March 6, 2012 by Yein Jee

Australian model Miranda Kerr is featured in a recent Japanese commercial for Lipton Limone Ice Tea. Cute, and wicked. Huge Jackman still rules though.

Limone is an Italian word for lemon. Not sure why it’s used instead of English, especially so when they kept the “ice tea” part in the branding.

KARA, Japanese Christmas, fried chicken

December 11, 2011 by Yein Jee

A Japanese commercial featuring Korean pop group KARA, advertising for convenience store Family Mart’s fried chicken for the upcoming Christmas celebration.

Fried chicken is synonymous to Christmas party in Japan. The tradition started in the 1970’s after an ingenious marketing campaign by fast food chain KFC (very popular in Japan), that fried chicken was the best alternative to the customary Xmas turkey which was scarce in those days.

West Japan nostalgic vending machine tour

February 13, 2011 by Yein Jee

A Japanese guy [YT] spent two weeks in July 2010 travelling across West Japan and sampling food (mostly noodles) from various old-style vending machines…

Only a few of the 70+ items look appetising to be frank. The price of each item is shown on the top banner in the video, ranging around 250-350 yen, which is about 3-4 USD; I think it’s considered cheap by Japanese standard.
