SMASH!', it sounds very violent to Japanese. Thank you for adding KF to your blogroll! ... Oh! you are ISAAC STUDIO? Those are some hot photos! I was admiring them the other day. Hi Lori, I love the Kona Coffee Dark Chocolate Cake with Macadamia Nut Sauce! Gotta try that one! Bean shooting elephant, I suppose the elephant gets a kick out of that too. Hi Christa,

They said it was really hard to train him to do that because they always wanted to just eat it. :) On the news last night I saw a zoo in Japan trained an elephant to shoot the beans out with his trunk!

I was there on Sunday and it was SOOOOO packed that I just had a quick look around near the entrance. It looked amazing. I thought it WAS for Valentine's Day though. Hello Cindy, You saw it on TV when you were little? Not in Japan, I take it. Yes, it is an A-OK festival. When you try it be sure to say, "<em>Oni</em>’s eyeballs — SMASH! SMASH!" Hi Kat,

Now that after your detailed explanation, I finally understand this tradition, and I love it, Wish one day I can get a chance of celebrating it in Japan! I love it,

Doesn't it look like someone invented a new and fantastic machine? Once on NHK, I saw this documentary program about the inventor that has more patents for <em>wagashi</em> making machines than anyone else. It was AMAZING! Maybe he got into eggs recently? Oh, I was over at Isetan the other day and saw that Salon du Chocolat dealie that I learned about from your blog. Whoa! That is a heck or a lot of chocolate, and so beautiful! I wish there was a way to quantify how much energy is spent in Japan on developing new food and making food beautiful. Hi Kat,
