Nikukai Chicken Liver Mousse

 Nikukai, a group that follows and promotes meat and meat dishes, recently featured this offering found at a Tokyo restaurant. It looks like soft serve ice cream, but is actually a chicken flavored mousse served in a cone. Not further explanation is provided, but I assume it could be used as a dip. Eating it directly sounds a bit too rich. In any case, pretty interesting. 肉会

Starbucks Coffee Jelly Frappuchino

 Coffee jelly is popular in Japan. Quite often it is considered a somewhat healthy alternative, but as these photos show, coffee jelly can also be part of desert drinks. These are marble caramel coffee jelly frappuchino and double chocolate coffee jelly frappuchino. They look very good, but how how Starbucks has expanded beyond the original image of good, simple cups of coffee. スターバックス

Nikukai Chicken Waffle with Syrup

How about this, Nikukai (a Facebook meat lover's information and event group) suggests karaage (boneless fried chicken balls) on waffles with syrup. Have to admit I am a bit curious. 肉会

Yamazaki Crown Melon Cream Lunch Pack

A new Yamazaki Lunch Pack variety uses Crown Melons, which is a famous brand of muskmelon from Shizuoka prefecture. I just looked on the internet and they appear to go from 30 to 60 dollars a piece, but I think they can probably be found for much more. In any case, this set contains one Crown Melon cream sandwich and one whip cream sandwich and is categorized as part of their sweet series. ヤマザキ クラウンメロンクリーム
