Lets Make Japan Food !

Making Sushi

I've never even ate sushi until I was in third year in my secondary school. That time my
father bought once for us to eat for "sahur". The taste is simply fresh and I could taste
the originality of the fish, made my day that time. Thanks pa, hehe..

Making Takoyaki

I always heard about Takoyaki in anime or in my harvest moon game and doesn't
even care about it. But once, a friend posted a picture of a very delightful and
delicious Takoyaki, makes me jealous and wanna taste some. And so I tried it once,
and the taste is very very rare. Because it have its own aroma, very tasty, with
prawn as its core, especially Takoyaki Octopus..

Making Sashimi

Haven't tried Sashimi, but ones must be careful because there is 'sake' in its
ingredient which means that it is not 'halal'..

Tales of Xillia 2 Brings Back Ayumi Hamasaki

Namco Bandai PS3 RPG is set 1 year after 1st ToX, will ship this winter Namco Bandai Games unveiled Tales of Xillia 2, the next mothership title in its "Tales of" role-playing game franchise,during the "Tales of Festival 2012" event in Yokohama on Saturday.Ayumi Hamasaki (Inuyasha) is contributing the theme song as she did in the first Tales of Xillia game, and the studio ufotable is again providing the animated sequences. The official website describes the PlayStation 3 game's genre as an "RPG where choice spins the future."

The story is set one year after the ending of the first Tales of Xillia. Daigo Okumura (Tales of the Tempest,Yumeria game, Elementhunters) is designing the characters, including the main protagonist Rutger Will Kresnik (voiced by Takashi Kondo) and his cat Lulu. The key to the story is an eight-year-old girl named Elle Mel Marta (Mariya Ise).

The theme of the new game is "choice," as represented by decisions that the player can make using the R1 and L1 buttons to change the course of the game. The game will feature the XDR-LMBS (Cross Double Raid-Linear Motion Battle System). A key element of the main character's "gun/sword/hammer" fighting style is his ability to "weapon-shift" between dual swords, dual guns, or a hammer nearly instantaneously.

The game will arrive this winter. Namco Bandai's own retail site LaLabitMarket will offer a version bundled with Kyun Chara figures (Rutger, two swappable bodies, Elle, Lulu), and collaborative projects are planned with the Shinjuku Marui One store, the Namjatown theme park, and other partners.
