Ito Ham Kakaricho Eats Fugu

Here is an interesting image - Ito Ham's character Kakaricho (assistant manager) eating fugu or puffer fish. This dish is a specialty of Yamaguchi Prefecture and therefore he is pictured on a visit to that prefecture and surrounded by other images from the area. I think they relate to the Senteisai Festival for the young Heike family emperor who died there 1185). 伊藤ハム 先帝祭

McDonald's Halloween Offerings

Interesting Halloween offerings from McDonald's Japan: the Squid Ink Burger and the Camembert Chicken Filet-o. The Squid Ink Burger will have dark buns colored with black sesame, two beef patties, cheddar cheese, chipotle sauce, black squid ink sauce, and fried onions. The Camembert Chicken Filet-o is a chicken filet sandwich with a camembert sauce.

Very interesting and looks like they have been influenced by Burger King Japan's recent offerings.
