Have a Break

Hello, this is Hiro.
A while ago, at the beginning of the year, I received a “Beni Madonna”, a mandarin orange from a person from Ehime Prefecture.
I was informed that the peel is thin and difficult to peel, so I cut it in the recommended way and tried it.

It was juicy, sweet, and very delicious. As its reputation for its jelly-like pulp is well known, the texture on the tongue was very smooth. It was the first time I had ever eaten such delicious mandarin orange.
If I see them in supermarkets the next season, I would definitely like to try them again.

The “Beni Madonna” trademark has been registered in various fields by Zen-Noh (National Federation of Agricultural Cooperative Associations) and several companies in Ehime Prefecture (see below).

Let me introduce you to a snack that I have been eating a lot lately. It is “Oni Yamitsuki shichimi arare” from Hizatsuki Confection Co., Ltd., a crispy fried soy sauce flavored cubic rice cracker covered with blend of seven spice.

As the name “Oni Yamitsuki” suggests, the spiciness of the shichimi is addictive, and once you start eating it, it is hard to stop. If you do not mind the spiciness of shichimi, please give it a try.

“Oni Yamitsuki” was registered as a Japanese trademark on November 5, 2021 (Japanese Registration No. 6467042). (Sakuramochi)

Japanese word meanings
Oni = demon
Yamitsuki = addictive
Shichimi = blend of seven spice
Arare = cubic rice cracker

I wanted to buy something as a souvenir for visiting my relatives who live in a nearby prefecture, so I browsed the website of a local Japanese sweets shop. Among the delicious-looking products, the name of the store’s representative Japanese sweets was marked as a registered Japanese trademark, and an image of the Japanese trademark’s registration certificate was also displayed.
It was an event that made me take a new look at their attitude toward protecting their own brand.

The writer who wrote the original story of the film “Death on the Nile”, released in February this year, is Agatha Christie, a writer famous for her mystery novels. After reading “ABC Murder” when I was a student, I’ve always liked her novels and I’ve bought a set of 3 books “Death on the Nile”, “The ABC Murder,” and “Murder on the Oriental Express” before. This time, when I saw the trailer for the movie, I remembered about them and recently started reading “Death on the Nile”.

When I searched for “Agatha Christie” on J Plat-Pat, I found 3 trademark registrations for “AGATHA CHRISTIE”. All applications were filed on March 4, 1996 and are registered. There was no registration for Japanese wording of “Death on the Nile”, “ナイルに死す”, but “DEATH ON THE NILE” is internationally registered.
After reading the original, I would like to go see a movie. (Rabbit)
