KKU181 KATAMETE-PON ~ ECO Powder to Dispose Oil
Number in stock: 8 Weight: 100 g. Price: $2.80 Product type: Wacky Item
Tempura, deep fried tonkatsu, karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and ebi fry are some of the best dishes that Japan has to offer. They're fun to make too, deep frying them in a large pan filed to the brim with cooking oil. Of course, we know that throwing away used cooking oil down the toilet or sink not only is bad for the environment but will clog the pipes leaving you with an expensive repair bill. So how do they handle this problem in Japan? With the power of Katamete-pon that's how! When sprinkled, it "magically" hardens the oil, allowing you to scrape and pick up by hand, creating it to a more Eco friendly form for your moeru (burnable) trash disposal. To use, simply pour the powder on the oil, mix thoroughly and an hour later, it's ready to throw away. Very cool and great for the environmentally conscious individual. Inside is a 3 package version. Very cool. Here's a rather old CM (commercial) for this fun product!

SHIRT-TSUN1 Japanese T-Shirt - Tsundere Tribute
In stock in San Diego! Weight: 300 g. Price: $18.95 Product type: Japanese T-Shirt 100% Cotton (pre-shrunk) (What is this?)
The term tsundere (TSOON-deh-reh) describes female anime characters who are angry and confrontational yet secretly full of tenderness and love inside, and these characters are some of the most complex and interesting in anime today. The genre has really blossomed in recent years with popular characters such as Louise from Zero no Tsukaima, Shana from Shakugan no Shana and Taiga from Toradora, all of whom are voiced by the legendary voice actress Rie Kugimiya. This T-shirt is a special tribute to the best characters of this wonderful genre of tsundere-ism. The front of the shirt presents her most famous phrases, including Baka! Baka! Baka! (Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!) and Urusai! Urusai! Urusai! (Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!) and Damare! Soshite kusare! (Be quiet! And go rot!). On the back of the shirt is printed, in extremely difficult kanji characters, Kugimiya urius kabin nouhi taien seishutsu, or "Kugimiya Virus Hypersensitive Cerebral Corticalitis," which describes the odd state all tsundere fans are in when she verbally abuses us (ah...). Standard black T-shirt, available in S, M, L XL, and 2XL. Designed by Rios. (SZS SZM SZL SZXL SZ2XL) 15% off 3 or more shirts or hoodies. Click for shirt size info. Why are our shirts better?
