*Shachibon is a combination of Shachi (which is Orca in Japanese) and bon voyage (French)

Thanks to the unique evolution of food culture here in Nagoya, many people visit the city for “Nagoya-meshi” (Nagoya food).
One of the most popular Nagoya-like sweets is “Piyorin,” a chick-shaped cake. The delicacy of the cake, which is susceptible to shaking and quickly crumbles, has made it so difficult to take home that the term “piyorin challenge” has been coined.

Did you know that there was a sweet called “Shachibon,” which was the predecessor to “Piyorin”? The other day, “Shachibon” was revived after an 11-year absence and has become a topic of conversation.

“Shachibon” is a cream puff in the shape of a charming orcas with strawberry tongues sticking out, and is sold at “Cafe Danmark” located at the Nagoya Uimaimon-dori Hirokoji Exit of JR Nagoya Station from 2:00 pm. It seems to be sold out every day, but if you have a chance, please try it.

“Shachibon” is a registered trademark of JR Tokai Food Service Co., Ltd. (Syszo)

Aomori was the first prefecture I had traveled domestically by plane. I thought it was very far from Nagoya, but I was actually surprised in 80 minutes from Komaki Airport. It was cold in Tohoku as expected, but the food was very good. Above all, the seafood was excellent. At the Aomori Fish Center in Aomori City, I made an original seafood bowl.

How to Use
1. Purchase “Nokkedon” meal tickets (10 tickets: 1,500 yen, 5 tickets: 750 yen)
2. Go to exchange the tickets for rice bowl (normal serving: 1 ticket, large serving: 2 tickets)
3 Exchange for your favorite toppings from about 30 stores in the building (the number of tickets varies depending on the store and the amount of toppings)
4. Completion of the original seafood bowl!

There are about 30 stores, and I was very confused about which store to exchange for which toppings. I felt that communication with the clerk at each store created a cozy atmosphere in the place.
If I have a chance to go to Aomori again, I would like to visit. (Rabbit)

The other day, I bought a matchbox as a disaster prevention goods.
I don’t usually have a chance to use them, but when I look at them again, I find the illustration of the matchboxes to be unique and wonderful.

In the past, matches were often used as advertisements in stores, and we often saw cute matchboxes with elaborate designs. The original design by the manufacturer without advertisements creates a retro atmosphere, and it seems to be collectible item for enthusiasts.
It is understandable that enthusiasts collect them. (Time)

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)
