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? ^_-

Highlight at Train Stations? A sausage.

An interesting video showing the various people who buy sausages from a shop on a train station platform in Osaka where thousands of commuters pass through Kyobashi Station in Osaka every day. For 600 of them the singular highlight is a sausage.
