Great toy pickups and thanks for posting the other stuff. Awesome product design. The Sapporo Beer flavored caramel looks look real nice.

I have some of that Sapporo candy, which is actually like a caramel...and let me just tell everyone, it is some of the worst tasting "candy" you will ever eat.

The same time I bought that beer candy, I also bought "Genghis Khan" flavor, which is like a meat dish....and that tastes worse.



Did you buy that canned oden from one of the vending machines off the main street? Last I heard that was the only place you could get it, but maybe they added more.

I bought the canned oden at a shop, but I did see a few machines in Akihabara that sold them already hot (including a machine at the entrance to Don Quixote). They also sold canned ramen. My wife tried a can of ramen and said is was not very good.
