Interesting Food From Akihabara

It's not so long since I heard about Akihabara, the famous japanese place known as the Electric Town, full of anime, manga and video games stuff. I decided to research a bit on this town, and have been finding some peculiar stuff about it, but most of all interesting. So, everytime I can I will try to show something of Akihabara in here, and to not stand on the obvious since most people already know about it, I'll add the most different/interesting/original things from there. I'll start by posting some types of food that you can find there. Some of them look really yummy, some others are already familiar and known and a few others might border on the grotesque, so prepare your stomachs. XD

 Omelet Rice. Looks kinda cute, doesn't it? :P 
 This is called Canned Oden. It looks like a simple Cup Noodles-like ramen can, but actually you can eat that can with yakitoris, stews, soups and also puddings.  
 Going through a kind of "unique route", this is the Tsundere Rice. Yeah, it is based on the Tsundere subculture/personality. It consists of rice mixed up with pieces of raw meat covered with wasabi and cool cream dressing, and served with a peculiar "golden egg". 
 This one might be pretty known already, it's the Osakan Okonomiyaki. Looks yummy, huh?
 This is knon as a Tokyo Hot Dog. Full of baked cheese crispy and served with pink lemonade and potato chips. I'm eager to try it. *.*
 This is my favorite one. The Akiba Burger!! It's a 22cm sandwich full of beef. Excellent for who likes to take a lot of protein. XD So what do you think of these "gourmet sensations"? Feel any hungry? ^_-

Japanama of the week...

It's coming to that time already, the end of the week!   And here is the collection of weird and bizzare news of the week! 1. The Biggest Eggplant (Aubergine) Yes, I guess Japan ran out of news again and began to show everything big, so here we have an elderly man in Japan, growing a big eggplant of size 21 cm... What will he do? He might eat it, but until then it is being put on display at the local city office.... 2. Hot Pepper Commercial Now with addicting songs that stayed glued to your head, here is a commercial starring Kaela Kimura and Snoopy:

WARNING DO NOT LISTEN IF YOU HATE HAVING SONGS GLUED TO YOUR HEAD ALL DAY!

3. High School Baseball Quartet miming Queen "Don't Stop Me Now" I have no words for this, except it was massively popular in 2006 when these high school players are in the mood for Queen! 4. Guinea Pigs nibbling on watermelon... Just to cool off from the last video/news... here we have something to cool you off!  Let's watch Guinea Pigs nibble on Watermelon for 30 seconds! 5. World Biggest Burger now invented and made by Japan!
Erm HUGE congratulations to Miyazaki City for its creation of the world’s biggest hamburger, yes now who wants to eat it?   The red one in the photo looks like its either Ketchuped flavoured bun, the green one maybe Green Tea?  And the black one.... charcoal?
The hamburger, which was made for a promotional event for the Phoenix Seagaia Resort, weighed it at 136.2 kilograms (300 pounds), beating the previous world record burger, which weighed a measly 84 kilograms (185 pounds).
[Nikkei] And there we have it, the very weird and wacky news from Japan, to your screen!
