    Ian Lynam has art directed and designed a new vegan cookbook by Joshua Ploeg called In Search of the Lost Taste, which he describes as “half-recipes/half-adventure/sci-fi/fantasy novella with cover illustration by comic maestro Aaron Renier and interior illustrations by the mighty overlord Nate Beaty.” Ian has a bunch of copies available for 1,200 yen postpaid…

    How strange: the beautiful teahouse and sweets shop in Nakameguro Higashiya is about to close its doors (not sure on the date, but soon), yet it gets a “recommendation” post on Cool Hunting, with no mention of said closing.

    Great package design work from Nosigner on a new brand of udon noodles, Kanpyo Udon, set to go on sale in June. As Spoon & Tamago’s Johnny describes them, the noodles are ” a new type of udon that use fiber-enhancing dried gourd shavings as an addition to the typically flour-only recipe.”

    Time to find a new meeting spot in Roppongi. Almond Cafe — the branch which has occupied that particular corner of the Roppongi intersection since 1964 — is closing tomorrow to make way for a new building (the current building is apparently too old). This article also notes that Almond was the first company in…

    Marxy has the final world on the McDonald’s viral Quarter Pounder marketing in Japan over at Clast. Me, I never had a chance to check out the shops when they went black — since I’ve been based in the area, the Omotesando branch has already closed and has yet to re-open, probably as they renew…

    Was out in Shibuya yesterday with my friend CheapyD, and he brought me to Pakutch where I was treated to the Tower Burger pictured above. It’s actually not as gigantic as it may appear in the photo, and was delicious.

    Move over BOSS, Golgo’s taking over the canned coffee racket! I don’t much care for the world of canned coffee anymore (it’s gotten to a point where I just can’t drink it — too sweet), but I absolutely love these cans featuring Golgo 13 art on them. The Mainichi has a gallery of all the…

    The Flux site has a post up featuring Kozyndan writing about a visit to the Yokohama Ramen Museum. I’ve always been curious about the place, but have never taken the time to go. I guess I’m in no need of good ramen shops, living in Ikebukuro and all. Flux is one of the projects that…
